August is now here and it is a huge LEGO release month on the LEGO Shop for various themes including the release of the LEGO Pokemon SMART Play sets. It is an unusually large month for us in the US since we finally get the rest of the summer 2026 sets for City, Friends, and Ninjago on top of the rest of the other recently announced sets. I’ve listed all the new sets below (hopefully I didn’t miss any) so there is something for everyone.
There are quite a few LEGO August gift with purchase sets that will be running for the first few weeks. First is the LEGO Ideas The X-Files: Scully’s Lab (40896) which you can get from August 1-10 with the purchase of the The X-Files (21369), while supplies last.
To celebrate the release of the LEGO Pokemon sets, one GWP is the LEGO Pokemon Ditto as Squirtle: Movie Night (40887). This will be available on the LEGO Shop and on the Pokemon Center with LEGO Pokemon SMART Play purchases of $130 or more until August 10, while supplies last.

Macy’s has kicked off another LEGO sale on their site where you can save up to 30% off select LEGO sets. Some of the sets on the list are fairly recent so if you’ve been waiting for a sale on them, now is a good time to pick them up since we don’t see many sets that are discounted by 30%.

If you missed it the first time around, the LEGO Pokemon Mini Pokemon Center (40911) is now available again to redeem in the Rewards Center. Same as the first time, it costs 2,500 Insiders points and there is a limit of one per account so if you’ve already gotten it, you can’t get it again. The set was first available way back in February but it’s back just in time for the release of the new LEGO Pokemon sets.
Last week at San Diego Comic Con 2026, there was the Star Trek: The Collector Frontier panel and designers from Magic The Gathering and LEGO were on hand to show off their newest products. MTG was there to show off the new Star Trek set with the surprise being the signed Headliner card of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
For the LEGO side of the panel, Henrik Andersen, Cryystal Fontan, and Dario Garcia-Alonso were on hand to talk about the LEGO Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge (11385) that will be releasing in September.
We got some in-depth look at some of the design process of the set including new parts that were made for one. Some of the examples were for the phaser and Spock’s Vulcan hair/ear piece.
Crystal also talked about the color palattes used for the LEGO minifigure designs for each of the characters in the set.
In addition, the panel also discussed some of the many Easter eggs that were in the set. Unless you’re a hardcore Trekkie, some of the objects may seem obscure. Some of these items include the Vulcan Lipra, trident scanner, the Vulcan lute, Nurse Chapel’s Plomeek soup, and the dilithium crystal converter assembly.
At the end of the panel, there was a trivia with the whole room and the winner got a signed copy of the LEGO Icons Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (10356). Props to the kid that had to lug that set around the whole convention.
The Star Trek: The Collector Frontier panel … Continue
