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

December 7, 2020 By Jay 55 Comments

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.

New LEGO City 2021 – January

Shop new 2021 LEGO City sets online

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!

New LEGO Creator 2021 – February & March

Shop new 2021 LEGO Creator sets online

There are some really cool-looking Creator 2021 sets such as 31116 Safari Wildlife Tree House with the brilliant brickbuilt Giraffe, but the 31115 Space Mining Mech is what I’m most excited about as I’m a sucker for all types of mechs.

New LEGO Harry Potter 2021 – January

Shop new 2021 LEGO Harry Potter sets online


LEGO Harry Potter fans are going to love these new Harry Potter Moments books, which open up to feature a buildable scene.

With books for each house – Hufflepuff (Herbology), Ravenclaw (Charms), Slytherin (Potions) and Gryffindor (Transfiguration), no matter which house you got sorted into, there’ll be something for everyone.

Can’t wait to get a few of these books to review in January 2021!

New LEGO Star Wars 2021 – January

Shop new 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets online

We get a bunch of new Star Wars sets in January 2021 (with hopefully more Mandalorian sets being unveiled soon!) – like everyone else, I cannot wait to pick up the new 75299 Trouble on Tatooine set, which features Din Djarin in his Beskar armour.

New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2021 – January

Shop new 2021 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets online

Lots of love for Spider-Man fans in early 2021! I’m especially excited for the 76175 Attack on the Spider-Lair base with its massive collection of Spider-suits!

Peter Parker has definitely been taking interior design classes from Tony Parker and Bruce Wayne!

The Miles Morales Mech with hooded Miles Morales Spider-Man minifig is also a decent pickup.

New LEGO Friends 2021 – January & March

Shop new 2021 LEGO Friends sets online

Heartlake City fans have a lot to look forward to, with some new buildings and settings for LEGO Friends – a new Shopping Mall, Movie Theatre, Organic Cafe, Andrea’s Family House, Heartlake City Park, Vet Clinic, Bakery and Doggy Day Care .

I’m really excited about 41448 Heartlake City Movie Theatre and can’t wait to add that to my, ahem, my daughter’s collection.

Lots of new Animal Cubes as well!

New LEGO Dots 2021 – January & March

Shop new 2021 LEGO Dots sets online

Creative types are going to be excited a we have more new dots coming along – I’m especially excited about the new Series 4 pack to see what new printed tiles we get!

New LEGO Disney Princess 2021 – February

Shop new 2021 LEGO Disney sets online

My daughter is naturally a fan of all things LEGO Disney Princess, and we’re getting a respectable bunch of new sets, including a new Cinderella Carriage set with her Fairy Godmother, and a new Little Mermaid set, in addition to some new Frozen sets, including a new storybook!

Not forgetting the new LEGO Minifigures Series 21 coming in January with 12 new characters to collect, and a teaser of the next series in May!

New LEGO Ninjago 2021 – January & March

Shop new 2021 LEGO Ninjago sets online

Two waves of LEGO Ninjago are coming in 2021, with some new Legacy sets in January where previous designs and models get refreshed, and this super exciting new Jungle/Island series coming in March 2021!

New LEGO Minecraft 2021 – January & March

Shop new 2021 LEGO Minecraft sets online

We also get 2 new waves of Minecraft sets, split up in January and March. I don’t know much about LEGO Minecraft but that massive pig waterfall thing looks really cool.

I’ve written at length about the new LEGO Super Mario Wave 2 Expansion sets and these will arrive in January 2021!

The new LEGO Technic releases are split between February and March (to help you save money of course), with the newly revealed Ferrari 488 being one of the highlights in the first wave of 2021 Technic!

New Duplo 2021 – January & March

There sure is a lot of new LEGO Duplo coming out in January and March which will be great for new parents, or if you’re shopping for gifts. I think the sets with the flash cards are going to make great gifts to ensure young ones get hooked on LEGO plastic as early as possible.

New LEGO Minions & Vidiyo Teaser 2021

Last but not least, we have teasers for more Minions sets (to coincide with the delayed release of Rise of Gru) as well as the new Vidiyo teaser.

And that wraps up a preview of what’s coming to LEGO shelves in the first half of 2021!

Let me know in the comments what you’re most looking forward to!

    Why not? I have completed all but 6 which are
    retired or so expensive that I can’t afford them.

        I have a question: why has the quality of lego sets progressively gotten more simplistic? I remember as a kid these grand lego themes. But when they make newer ones, I’m just kinda disappointed. No offense.

          You’re seeing it through the lens of an adult now vs. the lens of a child from back then, so no doubt it will appear that way. Lego sets these days have improved a lot compared to the hay day 80s and 90s with way more sophisticated building techniques. The only thing different is their stinginess with minifigures now days with less minifigures in a set vs a similar type set from the 80s

    Do you know if the regular road baseplates are being discontinued in favour of the new road system? I have a lot of Lego Modular buildings and much prefer the road baseplates, but they’re out of stock on the Lego website. Any word on whether they’re being done away with or not?

      Hi Cian,
      Looks like they are being replaced soon, yes.

      You can still buy them cheap at Kmart etc, so it might be time to stock up. 😆

      Yup, the old road baseplates are being phased out in favour of these new ones. I’d stock up on them if it’s your preferred way of doing roads!

    I spotted that they have put the new Lego Friends sets up on the U.K. site at least with the prices. The movie theatre seems overpriced for what it is. £45 in the U.K.

    There’s no piece count yet, but it doesn’t look much bigger than the baking competition, which is £10 cheaper.

    Having said that, we will probably go for a more expensive set: Andrea’s house looks great, with the musical instruments in the garage and is this the first time we’ve seen Andrea’s little sister Liz in a set?

      Thanks David. No news on Speed Champions which is a little concerning! Hopefully this means that there’ll be more unveiled in the coming months (perhaps they want to keep new cars under wraps).

    For me the pick of the new sets is the Technic Ferrari. I assume it’s the same scale as the Porsche RSR, they should look good together.

      Not the grinch at all! It’s been a massive problem for LEGO as well – they would LOVE to meet the demand, but because of Covid, even they couldn’t meet their most optimistic forecasts as demand has just been unprecedented.

      Hopefully as things go back to normal next year, we’ll see things return back to normal.

    Interesting that they’ve left the AFOL sets (such as creator expert and botanical collection ) out of this catalogue – I wonder if they’ll create an “Adult” catalogue!

    The items I’m most excited about are the new road plates and the Harry Potter buildable books.

    My 3D catalogue app doesn’t work… does anyone else have this problem (maybe it doesn’t become active until 2021)?

    Reply
    • Jay says

      December 11, 2020 at 9:49 AM

      Yes – that’s usually the case as 18+ sets are usually kept under wraps, and news of them gets released by LEGO blogs/news sites.

      An adult catalogue is an interesting idea, but these LEGO catalogues tend to be aimed at kids – my daughter is obsessed with them, and often plans ahead what to ask for birthdays/Christmas etc.

      I’m really looking forward to the Harry Potter books too!

Back from holidays, so I'm in catchup mode for Jul Back from holidays, so I'm in catchup mode for July @lego reviews!

🎢 First up is 10303 Loop Coaster which you've seen videos off and this set is truly impressive - the #LEGO Roller Coaster gets a huge upgrade with a working lift/pulley system and not one but two Loops!

The whooshing sound is makes is terrific and exhilarating and when powered up, works like a charm.

It's also really tall, and takes up a lot of space, so might not be suitable for most people, but if you can afford it (and the Motors/Hubs) and have space for it, it's a great centrepiece for any display or collection.

Hit the link in bio for the full review!

 Special thanks to LEGO for sending this early review copy and @annegal for help with the photos while I was away!
