The LEGO novelties in June

LEGO is releasing over 70 new sets in June. I've dug through the announcements of mechs, cars and city scenes for you and introduce you to the most exciting new products.
Minecraft, Technic, City or Ninjago: LEGO has new sets for almost every product line.
«Harry Potter»
Fans of «Harry Potter» can look forward to a whole range of new sets. With «Fortescues Ice Cream Parlour and Quality for Quidditch», children aged eight and over can build two shops from Diagon Alley. There are 795 bricks to put together. Together with other sets, the ice cream parlour and sports shop form a magical shopping street.
Join Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Professor Sprout and Trevor the toad in the Hogwarts classroom for «Herbology lessons». The 390-piece set includes a hinged greenhouse and two removable tables with various magical plants.
With its 2135 bricks, the largest model of the «main tower of Hogwarts Castle» in minifigure scale to date is more suitable for older children (aged ten and over). The tower has a function to make the keys fly, as well as a swivelling staircase up to Dumbledore's office. Also included are twelve minifigures and the animals Fluffy, Hedwig and Fawkes. So fans can re-enact scenes or invent new stories.
Also appearing:
- Bookend: Hogwarts Express (76450)
- Ligustrum Trail: Aunt Magda's Visit (76451)
- Dumbledore's phoenix (76448)
- Biting Monster Book of Monsters (76449)
«Minecraft»
For the block worlds of «Minecraft» there are plenty of supplies. The sets vary in difficulty. So there is sure to be something for both younger and older fans.
The creeping «Creeper» are insidious monsters in the «Minecraft» world. Once they have successfully snuck up on you, they blow themselves up and cause a lot of damage. In this case, an explosion would scatter 665 stones in the surrounding area. The set is designed for children aged ten and over. At 21 centimetres tall, the action figure with its movable legs also makes a pretty room decoration.
For younger fans aged seven and over, the «encounter with the guardian is». The highlight of the set is the buildable guard who can move his head, arms and legs. The blast function and a falling rock provide further action. With 238 bricks, the scene can be set up quickly and the fun can begin.
The age recommendation for «A Devastator at the Scavenger Outpost» is eight years. The set includes four figures. It also includes a pig and lots of accessories such as a torch, carrot, iron ingot, diamond helmet and diamond sword as well as a crossbow. The 665 pieces can be used to build the three-storey watchtower with ladder and a bricklayer's house. This even has a movable door.
Other new Minecraft releases:
- The Enderman Tower (21279)
- The Pickaxe Mine (21277)
- The TNT Jungle House (21275)
LEGO Technic
Built up, the «Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)» is 12 centimetres high, 41 centimetres long and 18 centimetres wide. Weighing almost two kilograms, the model is the highlight of the Technic novelties and definitely something for adults and collectors. 1410 bricks have to be put together. Hinged doors, moving pistons in the engine, functioning steering and suspension as well as an adjustable rear wing should not only delight fans of the «Fast & Furious» series.
The «Aston Martin Valkyrie» also offers many functions, such as a working steering system that is moved using a knob on the roof of the vehicle. The model also includes the extravagant gullwing doors modelled on the original. The realisation of the vehicle is less complex with 707 parts and is therefore also suitable for younger modellers from the age of nine. With dimensions of 7 × 29 × 13 centimetres, it also takes up less space in the children's room.

The wheel loader model is also compact. It is the type «L120 Electric» from Volvo, which is assembled from 973 bricks. The 35 centimetre long and functional construction machine is sure to delight children aged nine and over. The large shovel is movable, the articulated steering corresponds to the original and the model reveals the mechanics when the bonnet is opened.
LEGO City
The City series has been around for around 20 years. It is one of the classics par excellence and offers young LEGO fans more than just insights into technology: the models offer them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of adults and recreate city life.
The «City Central Station» has a total of three floors. There is a classic clock tower directly under the roof. Children aged seven and over will also find a functioning lift, a small café, a control centre and two platforms in the building. So there is plenty to discover. The set consists of 752 pieces and measures 33 × 44 × 30 centimetres.
According to LEGO, the «emergency rescue aircraft» is suitable for builders aged six and over. The box contains a total of 403 parts. It contains everything needed for exciting rescue missions in the mountains: the rescue plane, a snowmobile and, of course, the pilot, paramedic, doctor and the unfortunate skier who needs to be rescued.
Kids aged six and over can use the police boat with built-in prison cell to go on the hunt for a suspect who is fleeing in a rubber dinghy. The suspect has apparently stolen a sparkling ruby and must be caught by the police crew. The snapping shark is presumably only included in the 264-piece set «Police boat chase» for dramatic reasons. According to LEGO, the getaway vehicle and chase boat are floatable.
Also new in the city are:
- Arctic truck with laboratory (60471)
- Yellow bulldozer with front loader (60466)
- Arctic Polar Express (60470)
«LEGO Ninjago»
Not least because of the animated series, which already has over 15 seasons behind it, «Ninjago» is a perennial favourite. With the latest sets, children can go on their own adventures.
Almost 1000 pieces were waiting for teens aged 14 and over in the spectacular-looking set «Fire Knight Mech». The stand-up set is a proud 40 centimetres high, but can be lifted off the base for play. The mech with cape and spear then engages in a duel with a gruesome monster. This sea monster can move its tentacles and the mech itself also has movable limbs. The set is rounded off with two minifigures.
«Rontu the Master Dragon» is aimed more at younger fans of the franchise. The 337 pieces should not pose unsolvable problems for children aged seven and over. The figure is set in the third season of the series «Ninjago Rise of the Dragons». This model can move its tail, legs, wings, head and mouth. It also has a shooter under each wing. With the Lloyd, Sora, Wyldfyre and Zarkt minifigures, there are four characters to play epic duels between good and evil with.
Children aged six and over who receive «Kai's motorbike race» as a gift or buy it themselves from their pocket money don't have to wait long before they can get in on the action. They build two ninja motorbikes from the 79 parts. Kai and a ghost dragon man can then go on a wild chase and, of course, challenge each other to a duel.
The other new releases from Ninjago:
- Arin's Spinjitzumech (71839)
- Rogue's mech dragon rider (71843)
- Ninja action speedster (71844)
- Lloyd's jet mech (71845)
- The temple glider (71848)
- The Guardian Dragon (71847)
«Star Wars»
For kids aged six and over, LEGO delivers small sets for the «Star Wars» franchise. The sets consist of 90 to 143 pieces and can be put together quickly.
Older children and adults will have less fun with the figurines due to the lack of detail.
Disney
Girls and boys aged six and over have to assemble 787 pieces before the «princess castle» is ready to play with. When assembled, it is 32 centimetres high, 46 centimetres wide and 10 centimetres deep, but can be folded up to save space. Each princess has her own room in the castle, which is of course furnished. After all, it is a castle. A catapult arch and a waterfall tunnel provide some action. Possible residents and characters for role play include Ariel, Rapunzel, Mulan, Jasmine and Vaiana.
Younger children aged four and over should enjoy the «party train» from «Toy Story». With just over 200 parts spread over a locomotive, two carriages and a car, the set is not too complicated. There is a spaceship and a seesaw on the party train. The set is a play and gift idea for all kids who enjoy trains and vehicles. Four characters from Pixar are included: Woody, Jessie, Porcelain and Buzz Lightyear.
From the Disney world, the following will also appear in June:
- Minnie's Animal Hotel (43274)
- Angel (43257)
- Kakamora barge (43258)
- Puppy from 101 Dalmatians (43269)
- The puppies Lucky and Penny from 101 Dalmatians (43271)
LEGO Ideas
A short film was released by Pixar at the end of the 80s. It had a straightforward plot, but was still a minor sensation: the two lamps playing with a ball were made entirely by computer. This short sequence laid the foundation for blockbusters such as «Toy Story» or «Finding Nemo».
Fans can recreate the ball and the smaller Luxo Jr. lamp with the 613-piece set. According to LEGO, there are more Easter eggs from Pixar successes inside the ball.
LEGO Friends
The «costume party with unicorn and fairy» from the «Friends» series includes Autumn, Olly, Leo and Paisley as well as a cat and a horse. They want to celebrate a party together with children aged six and over. The characters dress up as a bumblebee, water sprite, wizard, rabbit, fairy and unicorn. And what else is needed for a fun party? A stage, a DJ booth, snacks and a photo booth for silly photos - all included in this 261-piece set.
For slightly older kids (aged eight and over), the holiday set with almost 1200 bricks is ideal. The beach scene includes drinks, ice-cream cones, surfboards, suitcases, a beach wheelchair and a paddle boat. Six play figures can relax or play sports in the holiday resort.
Little ones aged seven and over will have a lot of fun in the «music shop & flat». Whether the adults in the neighbourhood will feel the same way is another matter. The 483-piece set allows children to try out various instruments in a music shop (drums, guitar, saxophone). The staircase to the flat above the shop is designed like a keyboard. The set therefore provides plenty of inspiration for singing and making music «» .
