Seven of the best LEGO summer 2026 sets under £20

The summer 2026 waves of LEGO sets feature some pricey picks, but those on a budget can still get involved with these seven highlights under £20.

Considering the many pricey models being released next month, from Minas Tirith to Main Street, U.S.A., your remaining LEGO budget for the summer may be exceedingly limited. Thankfully, there's still a way to experience more of the summer 2026 selection without spending too much.

Read on to see some of the best LEGO summer 2026 models you can pick up without going over your monthly budget.

11216 Grannies with Bingo and Bluey

Price: £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 Pieces: 80 Minifigures: 2

No matter your age, Bluey has become something of a phenomenon, especially thanks to its quirky Grannies episode. It's become a fan-favourite in the animated series and is the star of the most affordable LEGO Bluey 2026 set.

11216 Grannies with Bingo and Bluey comes with 80 pieces for £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99, including two minifigures with an exclusive piece between them. At such a low price, there's little to no reason to avoid this summer 2026 Bluey build.

11514 Cosmos Flowers

Price: £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 Pieces: 171 Minifigures: 0

On the other end of the LEGO set spectrum, but at an identical price point, is Botanicals' 11514 Cosmos Flowers. LEGO Botanicals' trend of more affordable models in recent waves has been welcome, and 11514 Cosmos Flowers is the latest example of this.

The 171-piece set only costs £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99. You'll only need to provide the vase to add an affordable but beautiful LEGO bouquet to your home.

40924 Megatron Robot & Vehicle

Price: £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 Pieces: 224 Minifigures: 0

Megatron is finally a part of the LEGO Transformers range, but only as a BrickHeadz. This first LEGO Megatron model is recognisable as the character, and this caricature format means it is at a welcome price of £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99.

40924 Megatron Robot & Vehicle comes with the character's robot and vehicle modes despite the low cost. It will pair nicely with either of the other Transformers BrickHeadz sets.

11209 Ultron vs. Iron Man

Price: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 Pieces: 96 Minifigures: 2

One of the newest LEGO Marvel sets on the scene this summer is 11209 Ultron vs. Iron Man. It's based on the new Iron Man and his Awesome Friends animated series, leading to some colourful and quirky Marvel minifigures.

Both Iron Man and Ultron's minifigures in 11209 Ultron vs. Iron Man are good, but Ultron comes with a new head piece that will be good for a comic version of the character.

43280 Beach Fun with Lilo & Stitch

Price: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 Pieces: 113 Minifigures: 2

Another good 4+ set coming this summer would have to be Disney's 43280 Beach Fun with Lilo & Stitch. The set offers an easy and affordable way to pick up both of the series' titular characters without breaking the bank.

They're also available in 43268 Lilo and Stitch Beach House, but the summer 2026 model is a fraction of the cost at £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99. The contents of the model aren't bad either, including a sizable beach scene and several accessories.

71863 Zilvar and Grimtak

Price: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 Pieces: 232 Minifigures: 3

LEGO NINJAGO joins the list with 71863 Zilvar and Grimtak, featuring an entirely exclusive minifigure and a new hip holster piece only found in a handful of summer 2026 sets.

71863 Zilvar and Grimtak has 232 pieces for £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, and as much as we don't know anything about Zilvar yet, the concept of this model is already enticing to justify a purchase.

40923 Shrek, Donkey & Gingy Figures

Price: £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 Pieces: 259 Minifigures: 0

LEGO Shrek starts next month, and while the theme's only set so far is on the more expensive side, a BrickHeadz trio will be released soon for only £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99.

The set depicts the titular characters in the classic BrickHeadz format with a printed ogre sign accessory. For those not planning on picking up 40923 Shrek, Donkey & Gingy Figures, this is an essential purchase.
