New LEGO Rumors, Wild GWPs, and 387 BrickLink Sets?!
Welcome back to the show, where this week’s LEGO news is absolutely packed. We're talking everything from surprise Mario promos to massive fan-designed voting frenzies. If you thought things were slowing down in the LEGO world, think again.
First up, there’s a phenomenal blue and spiky new Mario-themed Gift With Purchase making the rounds — and let’s just say it’s raising a few eyebrows. But the real GWP bombshell? Possibly the hottest one LEGO has ever done is coming in 2025, and it’s got collectors everywhere buzzing. It looks amazing, it’s exclusive, and it’s going to be very sought after.
Next we go Lego Ideas and Pixar, and I'll leave this thought right here: Have we found the perfectly designed set?
Then we’re diving into some brand-new, just-leaked info about upcoming How to Train Your Dragon sets. These are shaping up to be a dream come true for fans of the movies — and a big new IP for LEGO to flex their design muscles on.
We’ve also got our first look at the 2025 LEGO Icons vehicle, and it’s a beauty. The price tag is steep, but this one might just be worth the splurge. I’ll give you my honest take on whether this set earns its premium status.
On the BrickLink front, there’s a lot going on. We’ve got pricing revealed for the upcoming BrickLink Designer Series 5 sets — and yes, they’re looking sharp but might give your budget a workout. And here’s the big one: Voting is now open for BrickLink Designer Series 8, and there are a staggering 387 sets to browse through. These are all fan-designed, original builds — and your votes will directly influence which ones get made into real, purchasable sets. So go vote. Seriously. It’s fun, it’s easy, and it helps bring amazing MOCs to life for everyone.
This episode is full of reactions, speculation, and hopefully a few laughs along the way. If you’re a LEGO fan, a collector, or just someone who loves staying ahead of the brick-built curve, you don’t want to miss this one.
Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to subscribe and share the podcast with your fellow brickheads.
