LEGO Chases Legends This Week, From the Track to a Galaxy Far Away

The Mandalorian trailer landed during D23, and it wasn't alone. A LEGO Marvel model turned up in the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, a working (if unofficial) Pirates of the Caribbean build surfaced, and Ahsoka's second season is already stacking up LEGO potential. D23 has quietly become one of LEGO's most reliable reveal windows.

Nine more projects qualified this week, pushing LEGO Ideas' Second 2026 Review Stage to 77 entries with Spyro the Dragon among the new arrivals. The X-Files set, which just shipped after a reported 10-year journey from submission to shelf, is a reminder of how long that road can be. With the qualification window closing September 7, expect the review backlog to keep growing before LEGO starts narrowing it down.

The LEGO Ambassador Network's retirement was reported back in June, and this week the replacement went live: LEGO Fan CoLab, complete with a public site and a list of recognized partners. The rename comes with real structural change to how LEGO works with fan communities. Worth watching is which creators and forums make the new partner list, and which don't.

The Editions F1 Helmet line started with current-grid drivers like McLaren and Ferrari's stars, but Senna's 931-piece helmet reaches back to 1988. Brick Fanatics' running catalog of every helmet in the collection shows how fast it has grown since March. If LEGO keeps mining F1 history alongside the current grid, there's a long list of championship-winning helmets left to build.
