New Lego sets typically drop on the first day of each month, and May 2026 is no different–though there are a couple exceptions. The Star Wars Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter drops on May the 4th for $250, Star Wars Day, and on May 7 you can pick up the huge Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler for $200. But the sets you can expect to release May 1 include a new Minifigure Collection in Series 29 for $5 per pack (or a 6 pack for $30), a new Botanicals Rocking Plants set for $23, new F1 models like Lewis Hamilton’s Helmet for $90, FIFA builds like like the Lionel Messi Soccer Highlights kit for $30, and even some new Toy Story sets like the adorable Slinky Dog Bookends for $150. Check out the full list of upcoming sets below.
What’s better, Lego will often offer free gift sets with your purchase when you spend the qualifying amount of money, and until April 19 you can take advantage of two: Restaurants of the World: Mexico (exclusive to Lego Insider members) if you spend $180 or more, and the TIE Advanced Mini-Build for anyone who spends $40 or more. So if you preorder any of these new May sets, you’ll get at least one free gift.
