All the new 2021 LEGO sets featured in the 1HY Catalogue

December 7, 2020 | 55

Can you believe that 2021 is almost upon us? While most of us will be relieved to say goodbye to 2020, what better way to start looking at the year ahead than with all the new LEGO sets coming in the first half of 2021!

LEGO have shared their digital product catalogue for 2021 for NZ, and we now have a complete-ish look at all the new retail sets coming in 2021!

Note that sets featured in these pages are typically general release sets that can be found at most toy stores, and does not include any exclusive, D2C, 18+ releases and any other surprises LEGO might have for us.

On the 1st of January, 10281 Bonsai Tree, 10280 Flower Bouquet the Modular Police Station will go on sale!

To check out some of the exclusive releases, be sure to read my reviews of 10278 Modular Police Station or 80107 Spring Lantern Festival!

Note these dates are based on the NZ calendar, so they might vary in other parts of the world, but Australia tends to be in the same release schedule.

Also, these dates are dates that sets will appear at retail stores (like Kmart/Myer) in Australia and New Zealand, however, a large majority of these sets will be available from 1 January 2021 onwards from LEGO.com, Amazon and LEGO Certified Stores.

We get a whole slew of new LEGO City sets, with the new Road Plates being the highlight of LEGO City sets. Friend of the blog Rambling Brick has written a great write-up on the evolution of road base plates, and what this might mean for LEGO City builders.

I’m really excited for the new 60287 Tractor as I love seeing more Farm-type models, but the set I’m most excited about is 60291 Family House which includes a new LEGO Labrador! Cue screams of excitement for golden Lab owners!
