Four minifigure-scale models of Aragog have been produced and the latest version, available in 76434 Aragog in the Forbidden Forest, looks particularly creepy! The giant spider is certainly bigger than its predecessors and features more realistic arachnid details.
Updated versions of Harry and Ron are also included, seemingly improving on the equivalent minifigures from 75950 Aragog's Lair. In fact, this set is essentially a direct remake of its 2018 counterpart, with a substantially larger rendition of the titular Acromantula.
LEGO has announced three approaching Jurassic World sets, including 76965 Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery, which reintroduces the Stegosaurus, at last!
These sets will be released on the 1st of June in Europe and the 1st of August in North America.

Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.
Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.
This model came to life from a great sketch model created by Adrian Florea, Adrian worked for a long time in the Ninjago team being a defining factor of establishing the aesthetic and feel of Ninjago. This was the last Ninjago model he put his touch on.
The model went through minor downscale since the sketch model did not fit the price point. The most work went in to creating a solid foundation for the elevated platform and to refine and make the scissor roof function work.
This set is the set i have created with most standard bricks in them, this make it in my opinion a great parts pack for kids that want to build their own stuff.
When it comes to figures, I love when there is an opportunity to put in side characters. And being able to integrate 3 in this set was great. The Jade princess, her bodyguard Mr.Hutchins and, of course, for the first time in a Ninjago set, a baby.

10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell was among the most enjoyable sets released last year and another The Lord of the Rings is coming soon!
LEGO has published a short teaser video for the set on social media, featuring the malevolent Eye of Sauron. Doubtless more information will be available shortly.
When I heard about the new Icons set, the only description I received was that it was "music-related". To be perfectly frank, I thought Huw was sending me another writing exercise, similar to when I reviewed the Elvis Presley art set, or the iconic Rolling Stones logo. However, on opening the box for 10334 Retro Radio, it looks like I hit the jackpot, and was queen for a day.
Could this review be another fun opportunity to work in references to the subject matter?
Welcome to "What's Up With That...?", the article series where I, ex-LEGO designer James and host of new YouTube channel TUBESIDE, will explore some of the frequently asked questions from AFOLs about the mysteries of the design decisions of The LEGO Group.
One of the hottest topics in the AFOL community which gets discussed every time a new set is reviewed is “why are there so many stickers in this set?” or “this set is all prints, why can't they all be like this?” In my YouTube videos (like and subscribe), this is one of the most common questions I get asked too.
So today, let's try and demystify this and figure out: what’s up with that...?
