Five of the biggest LEGO sets for January 1, 2025

Numerous LEGO sets of all sizes and shapes will be arriving on January 1, 2025 and here are five of the biggest by piece count.

There are mere days to go until January 1, a date that will see multiple LEGO models launching online and in stores. Included in the veritable tidal wave of new releases for 2025 will be builds for all budgets, plus many large-scale sets for those with enough room to display them.

With that in mind, we’re shining a spotlight on five of the biggest LEGO models for the New Year by piece count. While there are a number of big builds releasing on January 1, the sets below should prove to be stand-out additions to any collection.

5 – 80065 Erlang’s Celestial Mech

Theme: Monkie Kid Price: £69.99 / $89.99 / €79.99 Piece count: 806

Yet another mighty machine will be added to the LEGO Monkie Kid theme in 2025, this time in the form of 80065 Erlang’s Celestial Mech. Standing over 43cm tall, the massive 806-piece model certainly presents a striking figure, with plenty of articulation for display poses, an opening cockpit, two stud shooters, a giant spear and a fabric cloak.

80065 Erlang’s Celestial Mech is rounded out with a hoverbike and floating cloud rides, as well as a selection of five minifigures. LEGO Monkie Kid fans can also pick up 80066 Mythical Creature Qilin on January 1 to give the imposing mech something suitably large to battle.

4 – 10355 Blacktron Renegade

Theme: Icons Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Piece count: 1,151

The LEGO Icons design team has recreated a blast from the past with 10355 Blacktron Renegade. Coming in at 1,151 pieces, the black and yellow vehicle should tick plenty of retro boxes, complete with a modular design for multiple play and display options.

In addition to three Blacktron minifigures and a droid figure, the LEGO Icons set can be assembled as one of two different 1980s models, 6954 Renegade or 6876 Alienator. Be sure to check out everything you need to know about 10355 Blacktron Renegade in our in-depth review.

3 – 80116 Trotting Lantern

Theme: Seasonal Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Piece count: 1,295

Celebrating the Year of the Snake in 2025, 80116 Trotting Lantern is a striking and detailed 1,295-piece build that also arrives on January 1. The seasonal LEGO set is packed with nods to traditional Chinese culture and comes with five unique minifigures.

Also included in 80116 Trotting Lantern is a light brick that can be used in conjunction with a selection of silhouette windows in the model. Three festive scenes can be constructed in the upper tier and a removable top section allows for easy access to the interior.

2 – 10359 Fountain Garden

Theme: Icons Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Piece count: 1,302

New to the LEGO Icons theme in 2025 is 10359 Fountain Garden, a 1,302-piece set that offers up a tiny slice of Mediterranean living. Filled with flora and terracotta, the build boasts a decorative tiled pathway, white columned pergolas and numerous plants and flowers.

Intricately-detailed, 10359 Fountain Garden certainly looks the part, but isn’t that sturdy. More of a display rather than play model, the LEGO Icons set does slightly feel like a barebones presentation, as mentioned in out review right here.

1 – 10350 Tudor Corner

Theme: Icons Price: £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99 Piece count: 3,266

The latest addition to the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection, 10350 Tudor Corner stands over 31cm tall and arrives with 3,266 pieces and eight minifigures. Inside the distinctly British build you’ll find an inn/pub, a haberdasher’s, a clockmaker’s workshop and a snug office flat, all complimented with stunning period architecture.

10350 Tudor Corner is packed with detail and storytelling, as you’ll discover in our review of the set here. The LEGO Icons model is a truly stand-out build with which to kickstart 2025 and easily one of the best modulars we’ve seen to date.
