Rumours about LEGO sets are raging at the moment, especially last weekend, when the conversation heated up again. If these predictions are true, we can expect to see the launch of a series of adult-oriented LEGO sets in 2024, and now we have some concrete information.
In addition to the "regular new arrivals" like the next set of Winter Villages, there are also some surprises from the world of gaming. In addition, there is new news circulating about the next Harry Potter D2C set.
In this article, we'll sort through the current rumors about the upcoming launch of LEGO's 2024 adult set. Thomas from Brickmerge brought us a lot of new data over the weekend. Combined with information from other sources, we've incorporated this data into this overview of LEGO's new products in 2024.
Next, let's get to know these rumors specifically, and we will classify them by different themes (series). The level of detail of the information varies: some only have the set number and number of parts, others include the code name, and may even contain the (expected) specific character model and/or release date. As a special note, the LEGO Star Wars theme is not included this time, and this part will be discussed separately in a separate article.
LEGO Icons 18+ new products
In the LEGO Icons series, the 18-year-old set is naturally the most anticipated due to its clear targeting for adult fans, and luckily almost all of them have codenames already known. Let's take a look at these rumors in ascending order of set number.
LEGO 10330 [Elton Senna F1 Racing]
The existence of the LEGO 10330 [Elton Senna F1 car] has been confirmed, as the first leaked images have been circulated. The design of the car was clearly based on the legendary McLaren MP4/4 car, which was equipped with a Honda engine and was driven by Alan Prost and Elton Senna, which shone during the 1988 season. Of course, the car's iconic white-and-red colour scheme and number 12 were also applied to the LEGO model, but the sponsor change was not unexpected: the Marlboro and Goodyear logos no longer appeared.
- Set number: 10330
- Name: Elton Senna F1 car
- Number of parts: 693
- Minifigures: May not include
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (RRP): 79.99 euros
- Release date: March 2024
LEGO 10332 [Medieval Bazaar]
Last October, we already reported on the news of this medieval bazaar set. Then, we announced that this highly anticipated set will be available in March 2024!
- Set number: 10332
- Name: Medieval Bazaar
- Number of parts: 3304
- Minifigures: Unknown
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): 229.99 euros
- Release date: March 2024
LEGO 10333 [Tower of Sauron - Baladdur]
Of course, we've already reported on several occasions about the new big set in the LEGO Lord of the Rings series – the LEGO 10333 Ballarddur, but for the sake of the integrity of the overview, we're also mentioning it here.
- Set number: 10333
- Name: Tower of Sauron - Baladul
- Number of parts: 5471
- Minifigures: Unknown
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): $459.99
- Release date: June 2024
LEGO 10334 [Music Themed Set?]
Here's a brand new set of information. Codenamed "Music", the set is said to be made up of 906 parts and is expected to be released in June. This could be the new work after the LEGO IDEAS set 21329 Fender® Stratocaster™ guitar. The Fender® Stratocaster™ guitar contains 1074 parts, which also includes a black electric guitar. If this part is removed, the number of parts is not much different from that of this new set. Therefore, it seems like a realistic idea that the LEGO Group may launch another model of an instrument, such as a bass, of similar size and price.
Will the LEGO 21329 Fender® Stratocaster™ guitar IDEAS set released in 2021 be the beginning of the series?
- Set number: 10334
- Name: Music Theme Set?
- Number of parts: 906
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): To be confirmed
- Release date: June 2024
LEGO 10335 [Vehicle Theme Set?]
Vehicle models have been an important part of the LEGO "Creator Expert" series and now the "adult series" for many years. This year, we may even see the addition of two new LEGO Adult Series vehicle models, although we don't know much about this set, numbered 10335. For example, it is possible that one of them is based on a movie license, and the other may be a normal manufacturer license model, but these are still speculations.
- Set number: 10335
- Name: Vehicle Theme Set?
- Number of parts: To be confirmed
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): To be confirmed
- Release date: 2024
LEGO 10337 [Vehicle Theme Set?]
We already know more about the second car set with number 10337. It will go on sale in July and consists of 1,506 parts. The price of the set is currently unknown.
- Set number: 10337
- Name: Vehicle Theme Set?
- Number of parts: 1506
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): To be confirmed
- Release date: July 2024
LEGO 10338 [Untitled set]
The LEGO 10338 set doesn't have a specific code name yet, so we're only able to provide the number of parts (950) and an estimated release date of July.
- Set number: 10338
- Name: To be determined
- Number of parts: 950
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): To be confirmed
- Release date: July 2024
LEGO 10339 [Winter Village Theme Set?]
At the beginning of October, we will be looking forward as usual to the latest installment in the LEGO Winter Village series. Over the past two years, the "realistic" Christmas Main Street and Alpine Lodge have added a rich connotation to the Winter Village collection. Now, we're looking forward to launching a more creative set again, just like the Elf Club did in 2020. So far, though, we've only learned about the number of parts in the set – about 1,440 pieces.
- Set number: 10339
- Name: Winter Village-themed set?
- Number of parts: 1440
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years old and above
- Price (suggested retail price): To be confirmed
- Release date: October 2024
LEGO 10340 [set to be named]
The LEGO 10340 set is an upcoming new product, known for its 1194 pieces and the news that it is expected to be available on October 1, but its specific theme has not yet been revealed.
- Set number: 10340
- Name: TBD
- Number of parts: 1194 pieces
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: October 1, 2024
LEGO 10341 [Space Themed Set]
The LEGO 10341 set is purportedly a "space-themed" product, suggesting that it may be a licensed set. Since a large set like Star Wars was not released as part of the Icons series, and it is unlikely that the LEGO Group will launch a large set based on a "competing IP" in the fictional realm, it is likely that this is a model based on a realistic space mission. If the 3,601 parts information is accurate, it would be the most complex realistic space model to date, surpassing its 2021 predecessor, NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery, which had 2,354 parts.
- Set number: 10341
- Name: Space-themed set
- Number of parts: 3601
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: May 2024
LEGO 10368 [Plant series?]
The popular botanical collection is expected to launch at least two new sets in 2024 and is expected to be available in August.
- Set number: 10368
- Name: Botanical Series Set?
- Number of parts: 278
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: August 2024
LEGO 10369 [Plant Series?]
The second plant series set is richer than the first, but the specific model and price have not yet been clarified.
- Set number: 10369
- Name: Plant Collection?
- Number of parts: 327
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: August 2024
LEGO 10370 [set to be named]
For the LEGO 10370 set, we only know the number of parts and the expected release date.
- Set number: 10370
- Name: TBD
- Number of parts: 608
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: October 2024
LEGO 10391 [Moment: Space]
Moments, a new collectible set for the LEGO adult-themed collection, could be launched in 2024. So far, the name "Moments" has only been used in the folding book/classroom of the LEGO Harry Potter series, but it seems that LEGO has other interesting "Moments" sets in 2024. The 10391 set revolves around the popular "space" theme, but its specifics are unclear. Initial rumors suggested that it could contain a black ship and two minifigures.
- Set number: 10391
- Name: Moment: Space
- Number of parts: 966
- Minifigures: 2?
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: September 2024
LEGO 10392 [Moment:?]
Another set of the "Moments" series will be the product number 10392. Is this set also related to the space theme, or is it something else entirely? We'll need time to unravel the puzzle.
- Set number: 10392
- Name: Moment: ?
- Number of parts: TBD
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: 2024
18+ new additions to LEGO games
The year 2024 will be particularly interesting in terms of game licensing, with expectations that in addition to the new mega sets of the Super Mario series, there will also be the debut of large Sonic suits, adult suits licensed for Minecraft, and a special highlight – a Zelda-themed over-18 suit.
乐高 21265 [Minecraft 18+ 套装]
The LEGO Minecraft series has been available since 2013, but there has never been a set designed specifically for adults. That will change in 2024, with an expected 1,195-piece pellet set for adults retailing for $79.99. This set is surprisingly small in size and price, and may be more suitable as an ornament.
- Set number: 21265
- Name: Minecraft 18+ Bundle
- Number of parts: 1195
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): $79.99
- Release date: September 2024
LEGO 71438 [Super Mario 18+ set]
The Super Mario series has already launched several larger sets. This year's adult set is likely to be on par with the LEGO 71411's mighty Bowser in terms of price, with the possibility of a buildable character model again. However, the exact details, including the number of pieces assembled, have not yet been disclosed.
- Set number: 71438
- Name: Super Mario 18+ Set
- Number of parts: TBD
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): 169.99 euros
- Release date: October 2024
LEGO 77000 [Sonic 18+ set]
Sonic the Blue Hedgehog, Sega's mascot and classic rival of Nintendo and Mario, has had its own LEGO-themed collection since last year. It also marks the first time LEGO has launched an 18-and-over set in October, excluding the previous LEGO 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hills from the Ideas series. The new set is said to contain only 720 parts, making it smaller.
- Set number: 77000
- Name: Sonic 18+ Set
- Number of parts: 720
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: October 2024
LEGO 77092 [Zelda - Deku Tree?]
This set could be the "Deku Tree" from the Zelda series. Previous reports have revealed that the LEGO Group is planning to launch a Zelda-themed set, which may be based on the Great Deku Tree. This talking tree, reminiscent of the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter, has been featured in the game for a long time. According to Brickmerge, the Zelda set will contain 2,500 bricks and is expected to be released in September 2024.
- Set number: 77092
- Name: Zelda - Deku Tree?
- Number of parts: 2500
- Minifigures: To be confirmed
- Recommended age: 18 years and older
- Price (suggested retail price): TBD
- Release date: September 2024
18+ new LEGO Harry Potter products
In addition to the previously leaked but yet unveiled Talking Sorting Hat (which contains a new sound module with "31 different sound combinations" and a relatively high price tag), the LEGO Harry Potter series will also launch a new D2C set in 2024, the Weasley's "Fox Hole". It is known that the set will contain 2405 parts.
- LEGO 76429 [Talking Hat]: 561 parts, on sale in March 2024, MSRP 99.99 euros
- LEGO 76437 [D2C - Fox Hole]: 2405 parts, released in September 2024, price TBD
18+ new additions to the LEGO IDEAS collection
The LEGO IDEAS collection also plans to launch a number of 18+ sets in 2024, three of which have already been officially released or already on sale (such as the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Instant Camera), and six more sets are expected to be released later this year, bringing the total to nine.
- LEGO 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Instant Camera: 516 parts, released in January 2024, RRP 749 RMB
- LEGO 21346 Family Tree: 1040 parts, on sale in February 2024, suggested retail price 849 yuan
- LEGO 21347 London Red Phone Booth: 1460 parts, on sale in February 2024, RRP 999 RMB
- More package details to be announced
In the future, we may be looking forward to a Dungeons & Dragons castle, a buildable cat or Jaws set, and more. This may be followed by "Christmas Night" and "Disney Magic" themed designs, but the content of the sixth set is still a mystery. The Botanical Gardens and Twilight: House of Cullen are also highly anticipated themes, but their development time from winning an award to the finished set can be quite short.
18+ new products from LEGO Technics
The Le Hi-Tech series is also an extremely popular collection among the adult target group, with new 18+ sets planned. Here's a summary of some of the known information:
- LEGO 42171 [Mercedes F1 Petronas]: 1642 parts, released in March 2024, MSRP 219.99 euros
- 乐高 42182 [NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV?] ：1913零件，2024年6月发售，建议零售价$249.99
- More package details to be announced
Two of the sets have specific information. The 42182 set is said to be NASA's Apollo Moon Rover (LRV), while the 42171 set is a Formula 1 model, possibly an F1W1 preseason model based on a Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 car.
This model of the Mercedes-AMG F1W14 race car is expected to be available in March, and its first leaked images have been widely circulated.
18+ new additions to the LEGO Building collection
Regarding the LEGO building series, rumor has it that the upcoming LEGO 21061 set will contain an impressive 4384 parts. Confusingly, the price of this set is said to be only 229.99 euros, which means that either part of the information is incorrect, or this set is made up of many very small parts.
- Set number: 21061
- Name: TBD
- Number of parts: 4384
- Release date: June 2024
- RRP: €229.99
18+ new arrivals for LEGO Super Heroes
For adult fans of Marvel and DC's LEGO Super Hero series, it's no surprise that the planned new products for the age of 18 and over are planned.

18+ new arrivals from LEGO Disney

- LEGO 43242 Snow White and the House of the Seven Dwarfs?: 2228 parts, on sale in June 2024, MSRP 219.99 euros

conclusion
Adult LEGO fans – especially casual customers who may need to rediscover the charm of LEGO – are becoming an increasingly important target group for companies. This is once again confirmed by the clear distinction made by the LEGO company in its catalogue between children's and adult editions for the first time. Therefore, long-term collectors of LEGO will have to prioritize themselves again this year, but on the other hand, from the current point of view, large sets of LEGO will cover more areas of interest.
In particular, the 18+ set in the gaming field should be a feast for fans of related series, but Ballard, Medieval Market, IDEAS set, and more are also something that many people are looking forward to. We're also particularly excited about space sets, which will always excite LEGO fans if the value for money is reasonable.
What do you think of the rumours about the LEGO 18+ 2024 set?What surprised you, what you were most looking forward to, and what disappointed you?
