Buying Guide: All the new LEGO sets releasing on 1 May 2022 plus Star Wars Day offers
It’s the 1st of May tomorrow, which is traditionally an exciting time for LEGO Star Wars fans with the launch of the first UCS set of 2022 75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder, which will be available for LEGO VIPs (be sure to be signed into your LEGO.com account to order)
LEGO’s May the 4th / Star Wars Days offers will also begin tomorrow, but outside of LEGO Star Wars, there’s a small but very exciting release slate in May, with long-awaited (and fairly inexpensive) sets like 10311 Orchid and 10309 Succulents, 76989 Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck, Muppets Minifigures, 11021 90 Years of Play and 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy rounding out the releases.
In case you missed out on the Horizon Tallneck, it’s also available on Amazon.com or Amazon Australia
My game plan for Star Wars Day will not include the UCS Landspeeder, as I’ve opted to wait for a better sale/discount on it, and am in no rush to add it to my collection. Ever since the XP-38 came out, they just aren’t in demand, as the saying goes.
Instead, to qualify for the 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen gift with purchase (GWP), I’ll be picking up the dioramas – 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama and 75329 Death Star Trench Run Diorama at the stroke of midnight, which will just put me over the line!
I’ll also be picking up the LEGO Friends 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy, because hey, it’s a space set!
To help you navigate the selection of May 2022 LEGO releases, I’ve put a guide together on all the new sets being released on the 1st of May onwards!

Be sure to check out my review of the Horizon Tallneck set for more photos, and full thoughts. I absolutely enjoyed this, and would even recommend it to people who don’t play Horizon video game as it’s such as satisfying build.

LEGO Classic 90 Years of Play
For fans of the classics, and those looking to celebrate LEGO’s 90th Anniversary, the first LEGO set celebrating LEGO’s 90-year heritage is 11021 90 Years of Play, a Classic LEGO set.
Like most LEGO Classic sets, this is just a large, do-what-you-want with the bricks, but the suggested models pay homage to some of the most iconic sets and themes, from Pirates, to Classic Space, to Belville, to Bionicle.
Isn’t this Bionicle Tahu the cutest thing ever?
- 11021 90 Years of Play [US] – US$49.99

41713 Olivia’s Space Academy
Last but not least is an all-new, out of cycle LEGO Friends set, 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy which sends the Olivia into space! I didn’t realise Heartlake City had a fully developed rocket program, but this is also a co-branded NASA set, and if you look on the minidoll designs, the Classic Space logo is also featured prominently.
I’ll definitely be picking this up on the first, as I just love everything this set stands for, especially the fact that it encourages young women into STEM, and I would love to expose my daughter to space exploration.
- 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy [US] – US$49.99
- 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy [AUS] – AU$79.99
- 41713 Olivia’s Space Academy [UK] – £44.99

Will you be adding any of the May 2022 releases to your collection?
That’s it for the May 2022 release guide! There might be surprise releases, or GWPs left for May, especially towards the latter part, but with June 2022 being the official start of LEGO’s Summer 2022 release, I really don’t expect too much else from LEGO, but you never know what we could get surprised by..
