It’s officially Bricklink Designer Day—and if your wallet isn’t already trembling, it’s about to. In this week’s LEGO News & Rumors, we’re diving into everything happening in the LEGO universe right now, and trust me, it’s a lot.
Bricklink Designer Program Series 6 preorders are officially live, and these sets are next-level. From off-road adventures and hidden forest dens to art factories and soaring sequoia trees, this wave might be the strongest lineup yet. But if you think that’s all, hold onto your bricks—because Series 9 sets are dropping later today, too. Double the launches, double the chaos.
And then there’s the brand-new Northern Lights Diorama GWP that’s about to hit shelves—part of the stunning Wonders of the World collection. Let’s just say if you missed the Coral Reef or Tropical Rainforest sets, you’ll want to be ready for this one.
We’re also talking about LEGO Botanicals blooming again in 2026 (tulip lovers, rejoice), the 15th anniversary of Ninjago and those mysterious blacked-out minifigures everyone’s talking about, plus a major list of retiring sets you might want to grab before they vanish for good.
And if you’ve ever dreamed of visiting LEGO HQ in Billund, you’ll want to hear about the 2026 LEGO Inside Tour—because registration is coming fast, the price tag is steep, and the experience sounds unforgettable.
So, is your LEGO budget safe this week? Absolutely not. But should you still listen? 100%.
