This week’s episode is stacked with big LEGO news and a few rumors that’ll make your wallet cry. We have a brand-new Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory set that looks incredible but costs enough to make Grandpa Joe get out of bed again. And if that’s not wild enough, there’s an epic Black Pearl on the horizon that’ll have you digging for buried treasure at almost $400!
Architecture fans, rejoice—there’s serious buzz about the theme making a splash in 2026, with several new sets rumored and even whispers of updated Skylines like Paris and a non so updated super regional why did Lego do this Shanghai. Giving these two "new" sets - I’ll share my wishlist for what cities deserve the spotlight next (Seattle? Toronto? Hong Kong?) and what LEGO needs to make Skyline sets a 2026 must have.
There are also leaks of a retro Sega GWP, Disney sets like a buildable Winnie the Pooh and Slinky Dog book nook, and even a rumor about an upscaled Santa minifig (could a blue spaceman be coming too?).
And yes, the massive MISB Tower Bridge giveaway from the last episode is still happening — make sure you are a subscriber to the YouTube page so you don’t miss your chance to win!
