Every LEGO set reviewed by Brick Fanatics in 2022

From LEGO Star Wars, Architecture and Harry Potter to Icons, Marvel, Technic and more, we’ve reviewed a whopping 132 different LEGO sets in 2022.

As part of our end-of-year celebrations – which also include running down our top 10 LEGO sets and top 10 LEGO minifigures of 2022 – we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of every single 2022 set we’ve reviewed over the past 12 months (and change). Some of these products were reviewed early in 2021, and this doesn’t include 2023 sets we’ve already reviewed – it’s only sets released on shelves in 2022.

Dive in below for the full list, and hit the reviews tab at the top of this page for the latest reviews – including our verdicts on the first wave of 2023 sets…

LEGO Architecture

Just one LEGO Architecture set arrived on shelves in 2022, but it’s a doozy in 21058 Great Pyramid of Giza. If anything, the quality of this one just leaves us wanting more…

21058 Great Pyramid of Giza	£114.99 / $129.99 / €139.99	1,476	June 1, 2022	Review

LEGO Art

We covered two different LEGO Art sets in 2022: one that adheres to the mosaic-driven theme’s established format, and one that colours outside the lines by breaking the mould. More of that please, TLG.

LEGO Avatar

This year’s sole new theme took us back to 2009 with James Cameron’s Avatar, in anticipation of the long-awaited sequel Avatar: The Way of Water. But while they’re based on a movie most of us had forgotten about, don’t overlook this initial wave – it’s arguably the surprise of the year…

LEGO BrickHeadz

What more is there to say about LEGO BrickHeadz? The theme of buildable statuettes kept churning out new releases in 2022, and we took a look at a couple back in December 2021.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures

Three different series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures rolled out of Billund this year, breaking the pattern of one in-house and two licensed series per annum. We reviewed all 36 new characters across that trio of blind-bagged series.

LEGO City

Another fun year for LEGO City kicked off with an adorable pocket money-priced set in 60326 Picnic in the Park (squirrels!). We’re more interested in the 2023 overhaul, though…

LEGO Classic

The LEGO Group’s boxes of bricks tapped into the 90th anniversary in 2022, kicking off a year of nostalgic releases. 11021 90 Years of Play reimagines childhood favourites from across the decades.

LEGO Creator

One of this year’s stand-out sets came from the Creator 3-in-1 theme in 31129 Majestic Tiger, while the multi-build theme also resurrected another retro theme in Vikings. We reviewed both of those sets, plus a couple of promos.

LEGO Disney

Toy Story spin-off movie Lightyear was directed by adult LEGO fan (and fan designer behind 21303 Wall-E) Angus MacLane, so it’s no surprise the movie was so well-suited to LEGO sets. 76832 Xl-15 Spaceship is well worth your time, whether you’re interested in the film or not.

LEGO DOTS

We reviewed just one LEGO DOTS set in 2022, but it’s probably the one with the widest appeal. Who wouldn’t want to write their own name in LEGO tiles? Just us?

LEGO Jurassic World

The LEGO Group finally gave us what we’ve all been asking for from its Jurassic World theme since day one: a LEGO Jurassic Park set with the iconic jeeps from the original 1993 movie. The fact it was an 18+ diorama made it all the sweeter – if you can get past the brick-built T. rex.

The LEGO Group rebooted its core NINJAGO sets in 2022, distilling the fundamental concepts of the theme down into sets that bridged the gap between 4+ and traditional System products. We got to grips with that initial wave of dragons, mechs and vehicles in late 2021.

LEGO Super Mario

LEGO Super Mario is still doing its thing, which is to say churning out expansion packs for its interactive courses at an alarming rate. Alongside those in 2022 came 71411 The Mighty Bowser, arguably the biggest expansion pack to date (it’s fully compatible with the digital Mario, Luigi and Peach figures).
