Every LEGO set confirmed for August 2023

August 1 marks a major release day for brand new LEGO sets, so here’s a round-up of everything coming our way next month – from Star Wars and DREAMZzz to Architecture and Marvel.

Being a LEGO collector is pretty relentless sometimes, and by ‘sometimes’ we mean ‘the summer’. June 1 and August 1 are both major release days in the LEGO calendar, so while more than 70 sets launched in June, there are plenty more ready to drain your remaining LEGO budget in August.

A handful of sets arrived on shelves in July, including 10320 Eldorado Fortress and 21341 Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage. But all eyes are now on August, with dozens of sets due to launch across 15 different themes.

LEGO Architecture

This year's first and only retail LEGO Architecture set recreates a Japanese icon in 21060 Himeji Castle. Like 2022's 21058 Great Pyramid of Giza, the castle includes a flavour of its surroundings to add colour and contrast.

LEGO Art

Your friendly neighbourhood wall-crawler gets his first LEGO Art set in August, but it's not a traditional mosaic: instead, 31209 The Amazing Spider-Man sees the three-dimensional web-slinger bursting from the frame. Also launching next month is 31210 Modern Art, a set that prioritises creativity above all else.

LEGO City

LEGO City has just enjoyed a bumper wave of pretty spectacular sets (at least in most regions – the June assortment isn’t due out until August in North America, so add those 14 sets to the list below), which means August is relatively quiet for the in-house theme, with the exception of three sets inspired by 2K Games’ LEGO 2K Drive.

LEGO Classic

If it's pure boxes of bricks you're after, the LEGO Classic line is for you. Doubly so if you're interested in bright colours, because 11032 Creative Colour Fun is packed to the brim with vivid hues.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1

Three new LEGO Creator 3-in-1 sets will rocket on to LEGO.com and into LEGO Stores later this summer, including a more affordable alternative to 10303 Loop Coaster – and the theme’s biggest set to date in Main Street. There’s also a colour-swapped 31136 Exotic Parrot, just in case you prefer pink to blue.

LEGO DC / LEGO Batman

After lying dormant for well over a year, Batman is back in a big way this summer – or at least in a very specific way. 76252 Batcave – Shadow Box is already on shelves, while three more sets will follow in August. Fingers crossed you like the Joker.

LEGO DREAMZzz

The LEGO Group’s latest big bang theme is a colourful mix of mash-up models and unique designs, and kicks off on August 1 with 11 new sets. You can already stream the first 10 episodes of the LEGO DREAMZzz tie-in TV series on the official LEGO YouTube channel.

LEGO Gabby’s Dollhouse

The second of three new LEGO themes debuting in August, Gabby’s Dollhouse has a very specific target audience that likely doesn’t include anyone reading this list. But for the sake of completion – or if you have younger family members to buy for – here’s a quick reminder of everything debuting from the kids’ TV show.

LEGO Icons

The latest addition to the LEGO Icons line-up mashes together the display value of the Botanical Collection with the aesthetics of NINJAGO and the Chinese New Year sets, resulting in something that’s at once familiar and brand new. It will be joined on shelves in August by the latest large-scale vehicle 10321 Corvette, which arrives a year to the day from our last LEGO Icons Chevrolet.

LEGO Marvel

From Spider-Man: No Way Home to Avengers: Endgame, the LEGO Marvel theme continues to dive into the MCU’s back catalogue in August. If you’re looking for something a little quirkier, there’s always the Venomized version of last summer’s buildable Groot.

LEGO Minecraft

Minecraft continues to contentedly chug along with four new sets in August, among which are the minifigure we all voted for at LEGO CON 2022. The biggest of the sets is a predominantly white fortress that you probably won’t mix up with Eldorado.

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog

Last year’s 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone has clearly proven popular enough to grant the blue blur his own theme, which will speed on to shelves in August. The first wave of five sets introduces a fresh gimmick that sees Sonic launch across the buildable courses.

LEGO Star Wars

The LEGO Star Wars August wave spans a brand new Clone Wars battle pack, a retro originally trilogy playset, another Jedi Starfighter, two Mandalorian sets and three new mechs from a galaxy far, far away.

LEGO Super Mario

The interactive LEGO Super Mario theme changes course slightly for summer 2023, eschewing a fourth digital figure – following Mario, Luigi and Peach – in favour of a buildable Donkey Kong, on whose back any of the aforementioned characters can ride around. He’s headlining another wave of expansion sets.

LEGO Technic

Confirmed for August so far are three new LEGO Technic sets, including a more affordable Lamborghini than the Sián FKP 37 – still in lime green, though – an Audi anchored around the CONTROL+ platform, and the most expensive LEGO Technic set of all time. Yeah.
