Buying Guide: Every new LEGO set launching in September 2022

By 9 Comments

September is almost here, and with it, we have a small-ish (but pricey) selection of new LEGO sets being released, with plenty of seasonal sets as we head into the holiday/winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.

September will see the launch of the highly anticipated next instalment of LEGO Ideas, 21335 Motorised Lighthouse, as well as the massive 76405 Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition, which actually go on sale on 31 August 2022.

Other notable releases are of the seasonal variety, with the 2022 Advent Calendars going on sale, as well as smaller builds like 40573 Christmas Tree, 40572 Penguin & Snowflake, 40571 Wintertime Polar Bears  and even the Duplo 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House for younger builders. (Note: Seasonal sets go on sale in October for North America)

Elsewhere, for Spider-man fans, a trio of Miles Morales, Spider-Man and Venom figures also go on sale.

And lastly, for Minifigure fans, LEGO Minifigures Series 23 officially goes on sale from 1 September onwards. Unfortunately for those of us in Australia and New Zealand, these will release in October, a month after everyone else gets them.

To help you navigate and check out all the new LEGO releases in September 2022, here’s a comprehensive shopping guide to all the new LEGO sets available soon!

LEGO September 2022 Gifts with Purchase (GWPs)

In the UK and Europe, 40530 Jane Goodall Tribute will be making a return when you spend £120 or more on LEGO.com from 5-11 September 2022.

Availability and dates have not been confirmed yet, but it’s a safe bet to expect the new 40578 Sandwich Shop GWP to become available around mid-September. Currently, it’s only been confirmed for Japan.

This isn’t technically a GWP, but this deliciously retro tin LEGO Lunchbox will be available to LEGO VIP members on 1 September 2022, and will be redeemable for 2,500 VIP points.

A great place to store minifigures, or put on display with an iconic retro LEGO advertisement!

76405 Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition – 31 August 2022

The huge release of September (technically August) is the 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition, a massive, highly-detailed 5,129-piece rendition of the iconic Hogwarts Express.

It goes on sale on 31 August, which means that you can build and have it ready by 1 September, which is when the Hogwarts Express officially departs from Kings Cross Station, London and heads to Hogwarts full of eager witches and wizards.

It’s the most expensive LEGO Harry Potter set ever released, and if you want to take a closer look at it, and see what I have to say, check out my review of 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition to see if it’s worth the money.

Rating and score: 3/5 ★★★✰✰

21335 Motorised Lighthouse – 1 September 2022

In September, 21335 Motorized Lighthouse becomes the 43rd LEGO Ideas set, and goes on sale, offering to illuminate your LEGO collection with one of the most aesthetically pleasing LEGO sets of 2022.

As its name suggests, the Lighthouse is motorised, and thanks to an ingenious new Fresnel lens element, works like a charm. Despite its high pricetag (because of all the Powered Up elements), it’s a sight to behold, and an incredible display piece.

To see more of the Motorised Lighthouse, be sure to check out my full review, and watch a Speed Build of the set on my Youtube channel to see it come together.

LEGO Minifigures Series 23

For LEGO Collectible Minifigures fans, we get our second numbered series in a year, with the highly anticipated Series 23 going on sale from 1 September.

The hunt is on for the 12 new costume-themed minifigures featuring a colourful cast of characters that include a Reindeer Costume, Snowman, Sugar Plum Fairy, Cardboard Robot and more!

Each LEGO Minifigures Series 23 blind bag will retail for US$4.99 in the US, AU$5.99 in Australia and £3.49 in the UK, and they’ll be available worldwide from 1 September onwards (1 October for Australia and New Zealand).

Check out my detailed review of LEGO Minifigures Series 23 to see each character in more detail, as well as a feel guide to help you find the characters you want.

Fans of LEGO Winter Village should be extremely excited by the new sub-group of festive seasonal characters included!

LEGO Advent Calendars 2022

December wouldn’t be complete without LEGO Advent Calendars, and this year, there are 5 to choose from, with offerings from LEGO City, Friends, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy.

I’ll be counting down the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Friends and Guardians of the Galaxy calendars in December, so be sure to pop by for the annual Jay’s Brick Blog Advent Calendar countdown! I can’t wait!

LEGO Christmas/Winter Seasonal Sets 2022

A small selection of fun seasonal sets go on sale on 1 September for Australia, UK and Europe, and on 1 October 2022 for North America.

We still haven’t heard from LEGO about what this year’s Winter Village set yet, but hopefully, we’ll get the official reveal some time in September!

    Hmm, would 40578 Sandwich Shop include the return of the Classic Green bicycle, or is it the Bright Green bicycle that appeared in the Seinfeld set, recently? It’s a bit hard to tell from the promotional image, but maybe a Bright Green bicycle would be the most likely.

      Seems like it’s Bright Green. I can’t imagine there being a good business case to have 2 similarly shaded bicycles in production at the same time.

    Thank you for providing these lists. It saves quite a bit of time – links to both Lego and reviews are on-hand.

    New sets are too expensive sadly. The sandwich shop GWP looks interesting. The lunchbox being only 2500 points is a bit of a surprise; it feels quite low.

      You’re most welcome, happy to help! It’s also helpful for me to keep track with what’s coming out, as these things are sometimes announced/revealed months ahead of time!

    Thanks 😊 for sharing info on new releases. We are going to Lego store at Disney Springs today. My 17 year old and I consider this son/mother quality time. Since his dad and I pay for most of the sets we are always looking for deals and ways to save. This helps with his autism building up his fine motor skills!

      That’s so great, hope you managed to pick up some awesome sets. Building LEGO also helps me relax and deal with stress, so I’m glad that you and your 17 year old are also finding value in play!
