We’re kicking things off in a galaxy far, far away with brand-new Star Wars sets, including the return of helmet builds, a detailed Imperial Shuttle featuring Moff Gideon, and a massive up-scaled Darth Vader minifigure dropping this summer.

Then we shift over to LEGO Ideas, where 146 projects from the latest review period are about to face their fate. We’ll highlight some standout submissions like Edward Scissorhands, Amsterdam Canal Houses, and more — plus what made it through, what didn’t, and what’s headed into the “parking lot.”

We’ve also got a brand-new LEGO Architecture skyline reveal with a bold take on New York City, featuring iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the Brooklyn Bridge — all wrapped in a unique monochrome style.

Over in BrickHeadz, we’re getting a stacked lineup with Toy Story characters like Woody and Buzz Lightyear, plus new amazing news builds featuring Megatron and Alice in Wonderland.

We’re also diving into: 🔥 New Ferrari and McLaren F1 driver helmets 🔥 A massive Hogwarts expansion in the Harry Potter line 🔥 A rare collector’s Bugatti Type 35 release with only 250 sets produced 🔥 The officially revealed Sega Genesis LEGO set (with a hidden Sonic the Hedgehog easter egg 👀) 🔥 New LEGO Technic vehicles including a remote-controlled Batmobile Tumbler

And that’s just scratching the surface of this absolutely packed Summer wave update. So what’s worth your money? What’s surprising? And what might be the sleeper hit of the year? Let’s break it all down.

There’s a whole side of the LEGO hobby that many builders never fully explore… and it might completely change the way you look at your collection. In this episode, we’re diving into the world of LEGO Alternative Builds (Alt Builds) — where one set can become dozens of completely new creations.

We’ll start by breaking down the difference between a MOC (My Own Creation) and an Alt Build, including the three main types of MOCs:

• True original builds
• Official set-based creations
• And builds that transform an existing set into something entirely new

From custom display pieces (like my own Imagination Brickshop builds) to incredible fan creations inspired by iconic models like LEGO 10256 Taj Mahal, this world goes way deeper than most people realize. We’ll also show you exactly where to find the best Alt Builds, including platforms like Rebrickable, where designers share instructions that can completely reinvent sets you already own.

Not only am I going to highlight some amaing ALT Build Designers, but we’ll walk through five incredible Alt Builds worth your time, transforming familiar sets into something entirely new — from Barad-dûr inspired builds to creative reimaginings of sets like LEGO 76989 Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck, LEGO 76215 Black Panther Bust, and even dinosaur fossils.

If you’ve ever wished you could get more out of your LEGO sets without buying more bricks… this is the episode for you.
