The box also includes a code that unlocks a digital version of this BMW in the Asphalt Legends racing game.
No Minifigures
It’s a model car, so there are no figures to play with. Kids who want a story may like a playset more.
Future Mechanics
They know every car on the street and want to see how one works inside.
LEGO Harry Potter Cauldron: Secret Potions Classroom (76464), for Hogwarts Fans
A Cauldron With a Classroom Inside
From the outside it’s a giant cauldron. Inside is Snape’s potions classroom, complete with a blackboard.
Hermione and Snape minifigures come with it, plus Hermione’s otter Patronus. It’s part of the 25th anniversary sets.
Just Two Minifigures
Harry and Ron aren’t in this one. Fans who want the whole crew will need another set.
Hogwarts Hopefuls
They’ve read the books twice and already know their house.
LEGO Fortnite Supply Drop (77080), Straight Out of the Game
Loot, Smoke and Three Skins
Build the supply drop, its smoke trail and a display base. Open the drop to find supplies like Slurp Juice and other loot.
It comes with three minifigures, including Fishstick and Ginger Gunner.
A Quick Build With a Game Code
At 314 pieces, it’s done in an evening. It also includes a redeemable Supply Drop decor pack for LEGO Fortnite.
Victory Royale Chasers
They play with friends after school and talk about loot drops at dinner.
LEGO Minecraft Wither Battle (21590), a Boss Fight in Bricks
Fight the Wither Head On
The set includes the Crimson Warrior, two Wither Skeletons and several buildable mobs, including the Wither boss and a strider. There’s a catapult and a Nether portal too.
It’s a battle scene they can actually play out.
Rated for Younger Builders
It’s an 8+ set, so experienced builders may finish it fast. Pair it with another Minecraft set to make a bigger world.
Nether Explorers
They’ve beaten the game’s bosses and want to do it again on the bedroom floor.
LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Hulk Epic Clash (76350), for Superhero Fans
Blast the Wall, Reveal the Hulk
Five minifigures and a buildable Hulk face off around a city building. Push a trigger to blast the front wall apart and reveal Hulk, then rebuild it for another showdown.
The set comes from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
It Needs Room
It stands about 14 inches tall once it’s built. Clear a spot on the shelf first.
Movie Night Regulars
They love Spider-Man movies and want to act out superhero battles.
The Biggest Build Here: LEGO NINJAGO Wyldfyre’s Transforming Dragon Mech (71868)
A Dragon That Turns Into a Mech
At 821 pieces, it’s the biggest set on this list. The four legged dragon turns into a standing mech without rebuilding.
Six minifigures come with it, so there’s a whole NINJAGO crew to play with.
A Newer Set
It came out in 2026, so there are only a few dozen reviews so far.
Ninja Squad Leaders
They’ve watched every season and want the biggest dragon in the box.
LEGO Star Wars Anzellan Starship (75445), With Grogu On Board
A Workshop Ship From The Mandalorian and Grogu

It includes Grogu and two Anzellan figures.
Best After the Movie
Kids who haven’t seen the movie yet may not know this ship. Grogu fans won’t mind.

They want anything with Grogu in it, the cuter the better.
LEGO Disney and Pixar Kevin & Dug (43290), a Build for Their Room
Kevin the Bird and Dug the Dog, Brick Built

It also has a nod to Ellie’s My Adventure Book.
Made for Display
It’s a model, not a playset. It suits kids who like to build and show off more than act out stories.
Room Decorators
They love a cozy movie and want their shelf to look as fun as they are.
