In this episode, LEGO rumor season officially goes nuclear.

A single whisper has sent the entire LEGO community into speculation mode, and if it’s even remotely true, it could become one of the most ambitious licensed sets LEGO has ever attempted. We’re talking Middle-earth. We’re talking scale. And we’re talking about a build that could completely redefine what LEGO Icons is willing to do with fantasy themes.

But that’s just the beginning.

We also dig into a surprising sci-fi property making its way into LEGO form, several gift-with-purchase builds that might quietly become sleeper favorites, and a packed wave of January releases that signals where LEGO’s priorities are heading in 2026. From architecture and botanicals to Icons, BrickHeadz, and beyond, there’s a lot to unpack — including some price shifts that may raise eyebrows.

This episode is all about reading between the bricks. What’s real, what’s rumored, what feels inevitable, and what might be LEGO testing the limits of how far fans are willing to go with them. Whether you’re here for the leaks, the speculation, or just trying to decide what deserves a spot on your wishlist, this one’s loaded.

Settle in, because if even half of what’s being rumored comes true, 2026 is going to be a very interesting year to be a LEGO fan.

In this episode, we’re traveling back to the early days of UCS LEGO Star Wars to revisit a set that once redefined what a LEGO model could be. Long before massive boxes, interior details, and hyper-engineered builds became the norm, there was a single gray triangle that changed everything.

Released in the early 2000s, this set wasn’t just big for its time — it was unthinkable. It shattered piece-count records, pushed LEGO into uncharted territory, and became a benchmark that future Ultimate Collector Series sets would be judged against for years. At one point, this was the biggest LEGO set ever made.

But how does it hold up today?

With modern UCS giants on the shelves and building standards evolving dramatically over the last two decades, this episode takes a hard look at whether this legendary Star Destroyer is still worthy of its reputation — or if it’s simply a relic of a different LEGO era.

We’ll talk about the build experience, the design choices that feel dated now, the surprisingly bold engineering decisions LEGO made at the time, and how it stacks up against its modern successor. There’s nostalgia here, yes, but also some honest criticism that might surprise longtime fans.

If you’ve ever wondered where the UCS line truly began… or whether the originals still deserve their pedestal… this is one review you won’t want to miss.

This week’s LEGO News & Rumors episode is loaded with end-of-year chaos, last-chance buys, and some seriously interesting signals about where LEGO is heading next.

We’re talking double VIP points, a limited-time GWP that’s about to disappear, and one of the biggest Ninjago sets ever finally landing. There’s also movement in LEGO Ideas, Disney, and Collectible Minifigures. Plus a surprise crossover that blends classic LEGO play with new “smart” technology.

But the real story this week? What’s leaving the shelves?

Hundreds of sets are officially on the chopping block, and some major fan-favorites have already vanished. From iconic display pieces to modern classics, this episode breaks down what’s retiring, what’s already sold out, and what that means for collectors heading into 2026.

If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a few sets… or wondering whether you already missed your chance… this is an episode you do not want to skip. We’ll cover the trends, the warning signs, and which serts are quietly disappearing faster than anyone expected.

Big releases. Big retirements. Big decisions. Let’s talk LEGO.
