Hey everyone, its a new month which means a new retirement update! As you can tell by the title, there are some big changes this month. LEGO Friends will reportedly launch its biggest set to date in January, in the form of 41732 City Center. Coming in at 2,010 pieces for €159.99, it’s rumoured to sail past even 41703 Main Street Building – but for the same price tag. Colour us intrigued. Set name

Very little is known about next year’s LEGO Jurassic World line-up so far, but we do know that it’s definitely happening – and will apparently lean into the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park. Here’s hoping for more sets like the sublime 76956 T. rex Breakout. LEGO The Lord of the RingsIt sounds like LEGO Creator 3-in-1 is going all-in on animals next year, with an early list of sets including a rabbit, parrot, dogs and a unicorn. (Spot the odd one out.) 31139 Cozy House sounds pretty promising too, particularly for its hefty piece count. Set name Good thing I didn't jump on this theme-train too. Wake me up when the ideas for fake plants run out and we can finally move on to original ideas for LEGO sets again." The first wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets in 2023 is said to consist of four house banners – each with a mini diorama inside, as per the six Hogwarts Moments books – and the first model based on the second Triwizard Tournament task since 2005’s 4762 Rescue from the Merpeople. Its latest Hogwarts addition, meanwhile, is thought to be based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Set name There’s not a whole lot to go on with LEGO Disney in 2023 at the minute, mostly because these rumoured set names are pretty much par for the course for the theme. The Cars set will likely be a DUPLO model (judging by its product number), but beyond that it’s reasonably familiar territory here. Set name

At home we have a small round vase that inspired me to try to re-create it in LEGO, this is the result.

We’ve only got word of one LEGO Monkie Kid set for 2023 so far – courtesy of a listing at LEGO.com – but it seems likely that more will follow, if only to continue serving the LEGO Group’s growing market in China. (It helps that the sets are generally all great, too.)

Celebrate springtime – Build 4 LEGO® Daffodils (40646) to create a flower display for any room. Makes a LEGO flower gift for other adults or a mindful project for you The box clearly signposts that it's acceptable for adults to buy this set, and I guess it's good that LEGO is doing so on smaller sets: after all not all aspiring adult builders are made of money! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Due to Reddit's character limits, we can't include everything here, but the full spreadsheet contains every set. Feeling arty? How about LEGO arty? Or just… LEGO Art. The LEGO Group clearly hopes you’ll still be feeling its original theme of mosaics (and beyond) come 2023, as it’s apparently got at least one more set in the works. As 31207 Floral Art has shown us, mosaics are no longer limited to 48×48 grids, so this could genuinely be anything at this stage. Set nameCalling all Star Wars mega fans, you can now create your favourite scenes with the outstanding range at LEGO! Get ready to build At- At, Tie Bomber ships and even Razor Quest models which come with detailed instructions. If you are looking for a challenge, why not build your very own LEGO Millennium Falcon!

LEGO for adults DOTS will apparently be embracing the Wizarding World in 2023, with at least three sets dedicated to Harry Potter. Exactly what those models will consist of remains to be seen – could they be simple accessories, like bracelets or stitch-on patches, or will they be magical message boards? Set name

From the LEGO® Botanical Collection – Combine the daffodils with the Roses (40460), Tulips (40461) or Sunflowers (40524), each sold separately Each stem has two leaves, which are rather awkwardly connected some distance from them, and have a tendency to rotate around it, because the dark grey 27940 BEAM, 1 MODULE W/ 2 CROSS AXLE, 180 DEG. have a pin hole in the centre rather than an axle hole. A better way of attaching leaves, closer to the stem and in a way that stops them rotating is needed: given the success and number of botanical sets being released maybe we'll see a new element produced to solve the problem one day.It's just a small MOC in between other work, I hope you enjoy the technique I used to create the cylinder. Just one LEGO DC set is thought to be on the way in 2023 so far, in the form of a product tied to Warner Bros.’ long-mooted The Flash movie. First revealed through a listing at an online retailer, the latest Batmobile will reportedly arrive on shelves a month before its source material debuts in cinemas. Set name The LEGO Group’s Chinese New Year sets are now a regular feature in the annual calendar, and two more are thought to be joining the range in January. If so, they’ll replace 80108 Lunar New Year Traditions and 80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival, both of which are retiring by the end of 2022. Set name
