With most of the new sets already available, you'll have to be quick to grab your favorites, as if previous years are anything to go by, they are likely to sell out faster than the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs (although technically speaking it was Han Solo, as he was the pilot).

The flagship launch Lego set for this May the 4th is also 2026’s first Ultimate Collector Series set, The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, which launches May 1 for Lego Insiders members and May 4 for everyone else.
