Every LEGO 2023 set reviewed by Brick Fanatics
We’ve reviewed a total of 170 different LEGO sets in 2023, from Star Wars and Icons to Ideas and Marvel. Here’s a look back over each and every one…
Hundreds and hundreds of LEGO sets have landed on shelves over the past 12 months, and we’ve been fortunate enough to get to grips with a substantial number of them. Not all of them have been winners, but there are enough stand-outs that it made whittling down for our top 10 of the year very tricky indeed.
Whether you’re wondering what’s worth catching up on from 2023 or just want a handy reference list for our reviews over the past 12 months, dive into a theme-by-theme breakdown of every LEGO set we’ve reviewed this year below. For the first verdict on 2024 sets, head over to the Reviews section of the site.
LEGO Architecture 2023 reviews
Just one LEGO Architecture set arrived on shelves this year, but we took it on its own merits all the same. 21060 Himeji Castle transports us to Japan for a modern brick-built interpretation of a relic of a bygone era, and the results are something else.

| 21060 Himeji Castle | £139.99 / $159.99 / €159.99 | 2,125 | August 1, 2023 | Review |
LEGO Art 2023 reviews
The LEGO Art theme continued its potted release schedule in 2023, and within its three new sets are three entirely different expressions: a relief recreation of a woodblock painting, a comic book cover that sees Spidey bursting from the frame, and a super-customisable approach to modern art.

LEGO Avatar 2023 reviews
Could James Cameron’s stupidly successful Avatar sequel conjure up equally successful LEGO sets? The Avatar: The Way of Water wave was among the first we tackled for 2023, so dive into each of the reviews below to find out. A few of these are already on the brink of retiring, so grab them while you can if any catch your eye.

LEGO BrickHeadz 2023 reviews
One of those LEGO themes that’s content to keep chugging along, the BrickHeadz theme churned out a handful of releases this year – of which a few caught our eye. The Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary megapack is worth a peek if only for that super-cute Artoo.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures 2023 reviews
Three different LEGO Collectible Minifigures series dropped in 2023, and 71037 Series 24 was one of the last to arrive in foil bags (before the inevitable switch to cardboard boxes with 71039 Marvel Series 2). It’s what’s inside the packaging that counts, though – and this year’s only in-house series was a good ‘un.

LEGO City 2023 reviews
LEGO City rewrote the rulebook under the fresh creative direction of new head honcho Simon Lucas this year, and it’s all the better for it. We took a look at some of the most interesting sets to come out of this new approach, from undersea adventures to the LEGO Group’s take on Xscape (if you know, you know) – and the theme’s biggest set to date in 60380 Downtown.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 2023 reviews
Creator 3-in-1 is already shaping up to be one of the stand-out themes of 2024, but 2023 gave us little to grumble about either. We got to grips with the first of two parrots – a recolour followed shortly after – which is a pocket-money purchase that should be on everyone’s Christmas list.

LEGO DC / LEGO Batman 2023 reviews
Can you believe we found two different LEGO Batman sets to review in 2023? Okay, so a handful more did actually arrive on shelves this year, pretty much all anchored around the Dark Knight and Joker. But these were the two that broke past the boundaries of Batwings and Batmobiles to offer something a little different…

LEGO Disney 2023 reviews
Disney turned 100 years old in 2023, and the LEGO Group went all-out to celebrate. That gave us a bumper crop of LEGO Disney sets to cast our discerning eye over, including a couple of stand-out surprises in 43217 ‘Up’ House and 43230 Walt Disney Tribute Camera.

LEGO DREAMZzz 2023 reviews
The LEGO Group’s new big bang theme for 2023 was LEGO DREAMZzz, and we tackled every single one of the 11 sets in its launch wave. These bright, colourful and creative builds offer a little something for everyone, so make sure not to overlook them as you wrap up your 2023 purchases.

LEGO exclusives 2023 reviews
A couple of very cool LEGO Store-exclusive sets came our way this year, including a surprise smaller Land Rover to sit alongside its bigger LEGO Icons sibling (scroll down for more on that). Nearly all eyes were on that larger-than-life minifigure, though.

LEGO Friends 2023 reviews
Like City and (to a lesser extent) NINJAGO, LEGO Friends enjoyed a reboot for 2023. This was perhaps more overt than in either of the other two evergreen themes though, as the design team introduced an entirely new cast of characters, capping off a decade of adventures for the O.G. crew. But it was the models that really shone, including one of the year’s most underrated models in 41737 Beach Amusement Park.

LEGO Harry Potter 2023 reviews
Just like a certain giant purple thumb, LEGO Gringotts was… inevitable. But nobody could have predicted it would look like this. 2023’s biggest LEGO Harry Potter set knocked it out of the park, but somehow wasn’t the only top-tier Wizarding World model to launch on September 1…

LEGO Icons 2023 reviews
This year’s LEGO Icons line-up started and ended with modular buildings, coming full circle with plenty of variety in between. Surprises abound – the return of The Lord of the Rings, a Pirates makeover – but you really can’t go wrong with any of these sets. Hit the reviews to find out why.

LEGO Ideas 2023 reviews
If there’s one thing that emerges from looking at a LEGO calendar on a macro level like this, it’s that the company is dedicated to offering variety to its fans (with the not-so-subtle ulterior motive of bringing in new fans, of course). One quick glance at the list of LEGO Ideas sets released this year is enough to confirm that, of which we’ve reviewed every single one.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2023 reviews
Indiana Jones’ contentious return to LEGO Store shelves – underlined by a cancelled Temple of Doom set, and then not followed up at all with any Dial of Destiny sets – still delivered a trio of winning models, all of which arrived at surprisingly fair prices. One of these was our top LEGO set of 2023, too…

LEGO Jurassic Park 2023 reviews
Life finds a way, and so we knew that eventually the LEGO Group would find a way to tackle the original Jurassic Park movie proper. That opportunity arose in 2023, with the new Jurassic World movies done and dusted and the original Spielberg epic celebrating its 30th birthday. The sets were a little hit and miss on the whole, but we know you’re only here for the dinos anyway…

LEGO Monkie Kid 2023 reviews
Your eyes are not deceiving you: that isn’t the first mega Monkie Kid mech pictured above, but a redesigned version that dropped at the beginning of 2023. While the original remains one of the theme’s best sets, and the remake is naturally just as strong, the real wow factor this year came in 80044 Monkie Kid’s Team Hideout.

LEGO NINJAGO 2023 reviews
NINJAGO’s soft reboot for 2023 applied mostly to its characters and story in the wake of last summer’s Crystalised, which meant the focus of its sets was still on mechs, temples, dragons and the like. There were a few new approaches within those tropes, though – and the debut of another new LEGO NINJAGO City set had our wallets (and shelves) weeping…
LEGO Promotional 2023 reviews
If you shopped at LEGO.com this year, chances are you’ll have at least one of the sets below. The LEGO Group didn’t let up at all on promos in 2023, with at least one gift seemingly perpetually available online and in store, and often multiple available at once. (There were a couple of windows of nothing, but nobody seemed to notice.)

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 2023 reviews
What is it with LEGO Ideas sets based on video games turning into full themes? Sonic the Hedgehog follows the path originally established by Minecraft, but whether it has the same longevity as that blocky theme remains to be seen. It got off to a good start with these sets…

LEGO Speed Champions 2023 reviews
This year’s range of LEGO Speed Champions sets raced out of the garage in January with another vehicle from the Fast & Furious universe, then returned to business as usual in March. ‘Business as usual’ for Speed Champions means ‘really awesome cars’, though, so no-one’s complaining.

LEGO Star Wars 2023 reviews
‘Weird’ and ‘wild’ are words we’ve used to describe this year’s LEGO Star Wars range a few times, but they don’t get any less relevant looking at the picture in full. From the biggest prequel-era UCS set of all time to one of the strangest buildable characters of all time, 2023 had it all from a galaxy far, far away.

LEGO Super Mario 2023 reviews
We only reviewed a single LEGO Super Mario set in 2023, but it’s arguably the most interesting one: the theme’s smallest and most affordable 18+ set to date, and pseudo-addition to the Botanical Collection. If you’re really into Nintendo, anyway.

LEGO Technic 2023 reviews
LEGO Technic surprised us all in 2023 by delivering the year’s most expensive set in 42146 Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000, a towering behemoth that we genuinely struggled to photograph for our review. (It’s just so tall!) There were plenty of options for gearheads with smaller budgets too, though.

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
