New LEGO Sets in December 2024 and Beyond: Upcoming Star Wars Sets and More

• The Mandalorian Grogu with Hover Pram - $99.99
• Return of The Jedi Home One Starcruiser - $69.99
• Attack of The Clones Acclamator-Class Assault Ship - $49.99

Out January 1 are these three new LEGO Star Wars sets. There are two spaceship vehicles in the form of a starcruiser and an assault ship from the films. Those are LEGO sets for adults, aimed at the 18+ age range, and meant for display rather than play. But for my money, the Grogu with Hover Pram set is the most exciting, because it’s a buildable Baby Yoda you can put in a buildable hover pram. You can pose the little guy’s head and ears, and it comes with a Sorgan frog he can “eat.” Love it.

• Diagon Alley Wizarding Shops - $199.99
• Malfoy Manor - $149.99

Also available January 1 are these two LEGO Harry Potter sets. One is a lovely micro-scale depiction of the Wizarding shops in Diagon Alley. Because of the tiny scale, it packs a lot of shops and detail into a set that, while expensive, isn’t outrageous. It includes 12 micro-figures, including the main four heroes, plus Weasley siblings, Draco Malfoy, Mr. Borgin, and more.

The one notable set to debut around early December is LEGO The Endurance, a gorgeous re-creation of an Antarctic exploration vessel. In our We Build LEGO The Endurance feature, LEGO expert Kevin Wong wrote, “This model of The Endurance is LEGO at its most serious and austere. There are no minifigures, no self-referential bits of whimsy. It's all masts, sails, riggings, and ship's boats, depicted without a hint of irony. But that actually works in its favor – the end result looks realistic and classy."

The now-retired set LEGO Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck is one of my favorite video game tie-ins. This upcoming set continues that tradition, but it’s based on the LEGO-ified game that’s based on Sony’s Horizon games. It’s a great set for play that has Aloy and Varl minifigures, plus buildable robo-dinosaur enemies.

Previously only available at the LEGO Store, this awesome Nightmare Before Christmas build is now available at Amazon. For details about it, check out our We Build LEGO Nightmare Before Christmas feature.

Not the world’s smartest bird, at least in the original Moana, Heihei makes a hilarious and great-looking build for LEGO fans who like the Hawiian-set sequel. The movie has been smashing box office records since it came out last month, but this build doesn’t release until March 1. Check out our favorite LEGO Disney sets for more like this.

LEGO flower sets are always popular among our readers, both to use as decorations and to give as gifts. This bouquet might be my favorite of the bunch. It’s out in January, so it won’t do as a Christmas gift, but you can always hold onto it until Valentine’s Day.

• Corvette Stingray - $59.99
• Ferrari SF-24 F1 - $229.99

The LEGO Technic car series is a popular one for automobile aficionados. The Corvette Stingray is one of my favorite cars, and while I wish this brick-built version were more visually curvy like its inspiration, it’s probably the best that could be done at the $59.99 price point. Those interested in an even faster vehicle can pick up the Ferrari SF-24 F1 race car, which is an 1:8 scale model of the real thing, featuring working steering and suspension, plus a detailed engine and gearbox.
