Complete guide to all the new August 2021 LEGO releases!

By 12 Comments

It’s officially August 2021, which means Christmas is less than 150 days away. How’s that for a scary thought?

August is going to be yet another big month for LEGO, with 2 extremely heavy-hitters dropping – the UCS Republic Gunship and Volkswagen T2 Campervan, with the LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure GWP sweeting the deal.

The UCS Gunship should drop at midnight, so be quick if you don’t want to miss out.

Rounding out the release schedule is also new wave of LEGO Star Wars, Technic and LEGO Super Mario, and a trio of Marvel sets – 76200 Bro Thor’s New Asgard, and two new What If…? sets – 76201 Captain Carter and the Hydra Stomper, and 76194 Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man.

If you’re in the United States, 1 August 2021 also heralds the official launch of all the new Summer sets, which the rest of the world got in June 2021.

To help you navigate this chaotic launch – here’s a complete guide to all the new LEGO sets dropping in August!

LEGO August 2021 Gift with Purchases

The major GWP (gift with purchase) of August is 40487 Sailboat Adventures set which will be available when you spend US$200 / £200 / AU$279 online on LEGO.com, from 1 August onwards.

LEGO VIP members get early access, from 1 – 3 August 2021, before the general release, which will be available from 4 – 29 August while stocks last.

This is likely going to go very quickly, with all the hot August releases.

Additionally, to celebrate the upcoming release of Shang-chi, you’ll receive a 30454 Shang-Chi and The Great Protector polybag when you spend AU$109 / £40 / US$40 on any LEGO Marvel set from 1-15 August onwards while stocks last.

LEGO.com & LEGO Store Exclusives Launches (worldwide)

The biggest exclusive releases in August are hands down the UCS Republic Gunship and Volkswagen T2 Campervan, but don’t sleep on the La Catrina Brickheadz which is one of the most outstanding Brickheadz LEGO have ever produced.

Read my review of the LEGO UCS Republic Gunship to see what I thought of the set.

LEGO Technic 2HY 2021

For Technnic fans, two big heavy hitters will be launching in August, the 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck and Heavy-duty Tow Truck.

LEGO Star Wars 2HY 2021

Fans of the Clone Wars, and The Mandalorian are in for a treat with one of the best LEGO Star waves we’ve seen in a long time. My pick out of the lot are Boba Fett’s Starship, Duel on Mandalore and the Mandalorian Starfighter.

    Picked up the Ferris Wheel and Medieval Castle for my kid’s birthday/Christmas plus a Minecraft Panda Nursery to get the Sailboat. The Sailboat was available at 9pm PST, so didn’t have to stay up until midnight!

      Fantastic! Very pleased with how this one went – the site held up well, and it seems like there weren’t any major Out of Stock issues.

        Yeah, those sets were both winners. It was hard to make a choice, and in the end we couldn’t so we got both (one may be for Christmas). Unfortunately it’s 8 days later and they are still in the warehouse waiting to ship. I doubt it makes it here in time for his birthday in 3 days.
