Spring 2026 is one of the most significant LEGO release windows in years. LEGO Pokémon has finally arrived, LEGO Zelda returns with its most iconic battle, and the Icons line keeps building its case as the collector's shelf of choice. Whether you're adding to your display or just deciding where to spend, here's everything worth your attention — and your shelf space — this spring.
LEGO Pokémon: the first wave is here
After years of demand, the LEGO Pokémon collaboration launched on 27 February 2026. Three sets make up the first wave — ranging from an accessible Eevee to one of the most ambitious LEGO sets ever produced. All three are adult-oriented display pieces, 18+ rated, built to be shown off rather than played with.
- 72151 Eevee (587 pieces, £54.99) — the entry point. A clean, characterful build at desk scale. Big enough to hold its own on a shelf, affordable enough to pick up alongside something larger. See on LEGO.com.
- 72152 Pikachu and Pokéball (2,050 pieces, £179.99) — a more substantial build with Pikachu emerging from an opening Pokéball. The contrast in scale between the figure and the ball makes for a dynamic display that works from every angle. See on LEGO.com.
- 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (6,838 pieces, £579.99) — the showpiece. All three original starters built to the same colossal scale, designed to display together as a trio. At nearly 7,000 pieces this is a serious collector's statement — and one that genuinely benefits from a display case given the investment involved. See on LEGO.com.
The GWP — 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection — was available with 72153 through 8 March. If you missed it, keep an eye on future LEGO promotions for its return.
LEGO Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle
Set 77093 is the second-ever LEGO Zelda set, and it arrives with the most beloved game in the franchise. The diorama recreates the crumbling ruins of Ganon's Castle — complete with Link, Princess Zelda and a Ganondorf minifigure facing off for the final time. Three Recovery Hearts hidden in the rubble add a lovely detail for anyone who knows where to look.
- Set number: 77093
- Pieces: 1,003
- RRP: £99.99
- Age: 18+
- Minifigures: Link, Princess Zelda, Ganondorf
This is a wide diorama rather than a tall centrepiece — plan for a shelf that can give it breathing room on either side. It pairs naturally with the first Zelda set if you have it, and the earthy tones of the ruined castle mean it sits comfortably in most room palettes.
LEGO Icons: Sauron's Helmet and Project Hail Mary
Two very different Icons sets this spring — one for fantasy collectors, one for science-fiction fans — but both built primarily for display.
11373 Sauron's Helmet (538 pieces, £64.99)
The first ever LEGO Icons set from The Lord of the Rings, and it arrives with intent. The replica of Sauron's helmet stands over 33cm tall on its included stand, and a Sauron minifigure holding The One Ring gives you two display configurations: helmet alone as a dramatic centrepiece, or helmet alongside the Dark Lord himself. Exceptional value for the shelf presence it delivers.
11389 Project Hail Mary (830 pieces, £99.99)
Based on Andy Weir's novel and Ryan Gosling's film adaptation, this builds a microscale Hail Mary spacecraft with a working crank that simulates the centrifugal gravity system from the story. A Ryland Grace minifigure and Rocky — the alien companion — are included. One for the bookshelf or home office of anyone who's read the book or seen the film.
LEGO Ideas: Floating Sea Otters and Orange Cat
Both Ideas sets launched 1 March and both lean firmly into the display-first philosophy of the line. Different aesthetics, equally strong shelf credentials.
- 21366 Floating Sea Otters (1,234 pieces, £99.99) — an otter mum and pup floating on their backs, built as a freestanding sculpture. Clean, organic shapes and a lovely subject. LEGO Ideas set number 74. See on LEGO.com.
- 21376 Orange Cat (1,755 pieces, £89.99) — a large-scale, highly characterful cat sculpture with an impressive piece-to-price ratio. Community-voted via LEGO Ideas, which means it already has a devoted fanbase waiting for it. See on LEGO.com.
New Botanicals this spring
Two additions to the Botanical Collection land in March, keeping the range's run of display-ready seasonal releases going strong.
- 11502 Sunflower Bouquet — bright, tall and unmistakably spring. Works on its own or grouped with existing Botanical sets. See on LEGO.com.
- 11510 Magnolia Branches — softer and more sculptural, with delicate pinks and a Japanese-inspired feel. A strong pairing with Cherry Blossoms if you already have it. See on LEGO.com.
Which sets are worth displaying
Every set in this spring wave is designed with display in mind — but they differ considerably in footprint, height and the level of protection they need. Here's a quick take on each:
- Pokémon 72153 (Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise) — three large figures that need substantial space and serious protection. A fitted display case is almost non-negotiable at this price point.
- Pokémon 72152 (Pikachu and Pokéball) — compact and vertical. Works well in a small case or a dedicated shelf spot.
- Pokémon 72151 (Eevee) — desk-friendly scale. A compact case or open display both work well.
- Zelda 77093 — wide diorama format, looks best with breathing room on either side on a dedicated shelf.
- Sauron's Helmet 11373 — tall and narrow. A display case that emphasises the height makes the most of the drama it brings.
- Project Hail Mary 11389 — desk-scale. A small case or stand suits it well.
- Sea Otters 21366 / Orange Cat 21376 — both have organic shapes that reward a clean background. A case keeps the sculptural detail dust-free and sharp long term.
- Botanicals — colour and height make them natural open displays, but a case keeps them looking freshly built year-round.

FAQ
When did the LEGO Pokémon sets come out
The first wave launched on 27 February 2026. All three sets — Eevee, Pikachu and Pokéball, and the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise trio — are available now on LEGO.com and at authorised retailers.
Is the LEGO Zelda Ocarina of Time set good for display
Yes. It's a wide diorama designed primarily for display rather than play. At 1,003 pieces and £99.99, it offers strong value for fans. Plan for a shelf at least 40cm wide to give it the space it deserves.
Which spring 2026 set is the best value for display
Sauron's Helmet (11373) is the standout at £64.99 for 538 pieces — the height, presence and included minifigure make it exceptional value. Orange Cat (21376) is also hard to beat at £89.99 for 1,755 pieces.
Does the LEGO Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set need a display case
At £579.99 it almost certainly warrants one. Dust, UV and accidental knocks are real risks to a set at that price — a fitted display case is the straightforward solution.
Are there more LEGO Pokémon sets coming in 2026
Yes. The first wave is three sets but LEGO and The Pokémon Company have confirmed this is the start of a longer partnership, with more sets expected across 2026 and beyond.
