LEGO Ideas Gremlins: Gizmo (21361) Officially Announced

LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas set coming soon with Gremlins: Gizmo (21361). Releasing on October 1 (pre-order today), the set has 1,125 pieces and will retail for $109.99. Gizmo was one of the winners in the LEGO Ideas If We Can Turn Back Time building contest last April.

The set features a brick-built model of the little Mogwai that can be displayed either standing or sitting. The head can also rotate while the ears, arms, hands, and fingers have articulation. Gizmo also comes with a pair of brick-built 3D glasses and a water splash piece for some foreshadowing of what’s to come when he gets wet.

Show your affection for the cutest Mogwai in the 1984 movie Gremlins™ with a LEGO® Ideas posable figure of Gizmo (21361). This collectible model building set for adults allows you to capture all of Gizmo’s adorable characteristics in LEGO style. Assemble the Gizmo figure so he is either standing up or sitting down. Rotate his head and adjust his ears, arms, hands, fingers and feet to create different looks. The set also includes iconic accessories to make your display even more irresistible: a water splash element, alluding to how water makes Mogwais replicate, which attaches to Gizmo’s back, plus brick-built 3D glasses like the ones Gizmo used to read comic books.

This LEGO Ideas building set for adults makes a delightful nostalgic gift for movie lovers, allowing them to create fantasy decor that will make any Gremlins fan smile. Set contains 1,125 pieces.

LEGO Star Wars Livestream – September 4

LEGO has announced an upcoming LEGO Star Wars livestream for a new mystery set on September 4 at 9:15am ET/6:15 PT. The only hint that is given is that it is for something BIG. There’s nothing else Star Wars rumored for 2025 except for the usual suspect and if you’ve been online the past few weeks, you probably know what it is. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait and see the reveal.

LEGO Ideas August 207 Update – Few Days Left to Qualify

It’s been a few days since our last LEGO Ideas update and surprisingly, there was only two projects that have been added to the list. Here we have another Gorillaz project to reach the Second 2025 Review Stage as well as an original idea with a 3D painting. We’re now down to roughly about three days left to qualify and the current count is at 144.

LEGO Answers Why Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) Not Named Black Pearl

Yesterday was the officially reveal of the LEGO Icons Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) and one of the main questions about it was why is it not named the Black Pearl. Obviously it was the name given in the movies and even the first movie of the franchise was called Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl but why did LEGO not go with that name?

Commenting as a response to a question on Instagram, LEGO gave a very brief and corporate response:

The name reflects an internal creative decision by the LEGO Group and The Walt Disney Company.

The answer doesn’t really give an actual explanation of why the set isn’t named the Black Pearl but raises more questions. Does the words “Black Pearl” have some bad meaning to it? I belive this is more on the Disney side of things similar to what happened with the LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett’s Starship (75312) back in 2021.

So there you go, there’s an official response that we can go off of to why the Black Pearl is just called Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365). It’s not much but in our hearts, we know that the ship will always be the Black Pearl. It will be available starting on September 12 for $379.99 and you can also get Captain Jack Sparrow’s Compass (5009609) as a gift with purchase.
