LEGO releases tend to come in waves. One month only a small trickle of new sets might come out, while the next month a tsunami of stackable bricks will hit the shelves (or shores, to continue the metaphor). After last month’s tsunami, July 2026 is another trickle month. Just five sets are releasing this month, but all of them are pretty excellent in their own right, including a popular Marvel anti-hero and a killer retro gaming set. Let’s take a look.

Those with no time to read blurbs can peruse the catalog above to see all the new sets and freebies available starting in July. For the rest of us, you can find details about each new set below.
LEGO Icons: Arcade Pinball Machine
From Game Boy to Pac-Man, I love LEGO’s retro gaming sets. The latest entry is a banger. It’s LEGO Icons: Arcade Pinball Machine, and once built, it’s an actual working pinball machine.
While it isn’t a fully licensed game, it would have fit right in with the arcade’s heyday thanks to its LEGO Space theme. It even has a story: as you score points, the adult astronaut minifigure on the machine’s backboard inches closer to the baby astronaut, who is floating in space. It’s an incredibly cool set that looks well worth the cost if you can swing it.
LEGO Marvel: Venom Bust
LEGO’s series of pop culture busts has been kind of hit-or-miss for me over the years. Some look great, while others look sort of strange. Venom, with his organic (non-blocky) body, wouldn’t seem like a good fit for a LEGO bust. But I think the finished product looks fantastic. It’s unmistakably the alien symbiote anti-hero, complete with sharp teeth, long spiked tongue, and even some black gooey tentacles wrapped around his shoulders. And for $49.99, it’s super (relatively) cheap for a LEGO set.
LEGO Star Wars: Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle
This white space-faring shuttle appeared in The Mandalorian season two. The LEGO build includes folding wings and spring-loaded shooters. It also comes with five minifigures, including Mando, Moff Gideon, a pilot and Stormtrooper, as well as the first-ever minifigure of Dr. Pershing.
LEGO Technic: Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 F1 Car
F1 cars make great LEGO Technic sets, and this Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 is no exception. It’s a sizable set at 1,547 pieces, and it looks fast and fierce with its sleek body and green and black paint job.
LEGO Technic: Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar
For an even bigger speedy vehicle, you can pick up the LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar. It’s a more intricate build, so you’ll want to take your time piecing it together. It sports a “V8 piston engine and triplex front and rear suspension.” And if you buy it before July 6 (while supplies last), you’ll get a free steering wheel as a Gift With Purchase (GWP).
New to Reward Center and GWP
As mentioned above, if you buy the LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar by July 6 (while supplies last), you’ll get a free steering wheel set valued at $24.99. And if you’re a frequent LEGO Store shopper, you may have 900 Insiders points you can spend on the new Space Arcade Poster, which would look great on the wall behind your LEGO Icons: Arcade Pinball Machine.
