LEGO April 2022 new release guide

By 4 Comments

A new month means new LEGO sets, and April 2022 is filled with a ton of exciting new releases… with a catch.

Most of the new April 2022 sets are either releasing mid-month, or the end of the month, allowing you some breathing room to save, and plan your purchases out.

It’s a little odd, considering the first of each month is usually when most new sets get launched, but the global logistics and supply chain issues probably isn’t making things easy for LEGO.

The big ticket item for April 2022 (that we know off so far) is the 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine which should go up online at the stroke of midnight in your local time zone.

With so few sets being released, I would not hesitate on the LEGO Back to the Future Delorean, as I expect it to sell out incredibly quickly, so be quick if you want to secure a set!

Potential April LEGO Delays in Australia

Here in Australia, word on the street, and online is a large number of highly anticipated April 2022 releases, will likely be delayed. There are some concerning signs, as LEGO’s Certified Store website has the Delorean listed as available on the 5th of April, and Marvel Mechs as 1st of May.

On LEGO.com, 76956 T. rex Breakout has had its Australian release date shifted to 6 May 2022, and the 75329 Death Star Trench Run Diorama has it shifted to 5 May 2022 (the other diorama release dates are fine).

Not encouraging, and further proof that LEGO is struggling to get sets to Australia on time.

The full list of delayed sets in Australia (and I don’t trust these dates, and reckon they’ll change again) based on LEGO.com dates are:

LEGO Disney Lightyear – 24 April 2022

Dinos aside, this is personally one of my most anticipated releases of 2022, largely thanks to the incredibly sleek, classic space-inspired 76832 XL-15 Spaceship.

LEGO Thor Love & Thunder – 26 April 2022

We have 2 new sets from the upcoming Thor Love & Thunder movie… one hasn’t officially been revealed yet, but has been spotted out in the wild. No idea why all the secrecy…. but hey, the Goat Boat is really all that you need from the wave!

Additionally, the 40525 Endgame Battle Accessory Pack which retails for US$14.99 / £13.49 / AU$24.99 will also be released on the 1st of April!

Also, for the gamers and LEGO Star Wars fans, don’t forget that the LEGO Skywalker Saga will be released on 5 May 2022!

Will you be adding any of the April 2022 releases to your collection?

And that’s it for all the April 2022 releases that we know of! It’s the first month of the year without any new LEGO Brickheadz, which I find odd, but knowing LEGO, who knows that else they might have in store for us this month!
