Well folks, August 1 is almost here, which means there’s plenty of brand new LEGO building sets poised to hit online shelves and ship out once the clock officially ticks over to Thursday on the East Coast. We’ve been buzzing here at Electronicsforward about the latest sets over the last few months, and now today we have this one-stop shopping index for all your brick-building needs. Head below for a looks at every new LEGO set releasing in August 2024.
August is seeing a massive 90 new LEGO sets getting released! There are a whole bunch of popular themes that are seeing new additions, from Star Wars and Marvel to the new family-oriented theme and a whole bunch of new Technic vehicles. There are plenty of great display-worthy models in the wave like the Technic 42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 Yacht or my personal (and totally nostalgic-fueled) favorite, the Ideas 21350 Jaws model.
You can check out the entire collection right here, or keep reading below as we break down our favorites.
New LEGO sets for August 2024
Star Wars
As is often the case, it’s the LEGO Star Wars sets that are at the top of our list once again. Arguably the most popular theme across the LEGO Group’s board, it is celebrating its 25th anniversary year with wave after wave of new builds rolling in. There are eight new sets available, featuring buildable droids and figures, some sizable ships, and more.
Some of the new LEGO Star Wars sets are straight out of the coming Rebuild the Galaxy Disney+ special, like Jedi Bob’s Starfighter or the canon-bending Dark Falcon that also comes with a fun lineup of minifigures that count Beach Luke and Jedi Vader among them. There’s also two big returns in the form of the Grand Admiral Thrawn minifigure, as well as the dual-moulded silver leg C-3PO too.
For you super-fans out there, be sure to also check out the 312-page The Force of Creativity coffee-table book that takes you behind the scenes from the creation of the first set and running through to the present day.

Ideas
Stacking up to 1,497 pieces and my personal favorite among the entire lineup – we’re getting an exciting addition to the Ideas theme with the 21350 Jaws set that is taking us back to 1975 to pay homage to one of the twentieth century’s biggest summer blockbusters. Presented and voted on by the general public, the Jaws project reached its 10,000 vote goal back in November 2022, picked by LEGO as one of the winners of the Third 2022 Review Stage. Now its finally surfacing at the tail of summer for $159.99 shipped a few days after the rest on August 6.
Family
We’ve also got two new sets that are arriving under a whole new sub-theme! While the LEGO Group hasn’t given any official designations as to what this theme is, it’s very obviously focused on family time – specifically at home and abroad. The 41839 Message Board set is marked at $99.99 shipped (and not releasing until August 4), letting you send cute analog messages to others in your household, while the 41838 Travel Moments set lands at $149.99 shipped, giving your family the fun means to keep track of where you’ve been together and where you’re going next.
Marvel
We’ve got some big LEGO Marvel drops this month too, spanning from ships to a cute dancing figure of Groot and even a great display-worthy big scale battle scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron, complete with plenty of minifigures to add to your collection. Flying in alongside the midi-scale Hellicarrier, the big build of the bunch is the Milano model from Guardians of the Galaxy, which comes along with Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and a cute baby Groot to boot.

Animal Crossing
August’s arrival means more from LEGO’s collaboration with Nintendo as well. There are only two new sets within the theme that are dropping this time around, both of them based around the popular video game and come in modules for connecting and building your own layout. You’ll find the 77051 Fly with Dodo Airlines set, along with the Wilbur and Tangy minifigures, coming in to land at $37.99 shipped, while the 77052 K.K.’s Concert at the Plaza plugs in at $79.99 shipped, complete with K.K., Isabelle, and Audie getting the brick-built treatment.
Speed Champions
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Technic is not the only LEGO theme seeing a few new vehicle sets join the ranks. There are only two speeding onto the scene this month, the 76934 Ferrari F40 Supercar at $26.99 shipped and the 76935 NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 that is also running at $26.99 shipped, both of which we’ve already covered thoroughly in our launch coverage here.
Ninjago
The latest Ninjago collection is also charging in this month. August is seeing five new LEGO sets from the ninja theme dropping onto shelves, with new vehicles, mechs, and a battle scene. The stunning design of the Source Dragon of Motion model is an easy highlight in my eyes this month, but everything under this flag is definitely worth consideration, if not a look at the very least.
