LEGO Toothless from ‘How to Train Your Dragon' is finally here — I've never pre-ordered something so fast
I could spend an entire day explaining why 'How to Train Your Dragon' is my favorite animated movie franchise: a coming-of-age story celebrating emotional growth; soaring scores that complements the Viking-inspired villages; and the progression of dragons from fearsome beasts to loyal allies. But if I only were allowed one word to capture my love of 'How to Train Your Dragon?' That's easy: Toothless, a.k.a. the most expressive, endearing dragon to ever fly across the silver screen. And thanks to LEGO, I can now enjoy building my very own 784-piece Night Fury at home. Available starting July 1, this 784-piece LEGO Icons set brings Toothless the Night Fury to life. Complete with true-to-movie details and even a little snack, this is a must-have for fans of the franchise. This latest installment to LEGO's Ideas (the collection of fan-designed and -submitted sets) has been revealed just in time for the live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which hits theaters on June 13 as one of this summer's biggest movies. Although the Toothless (10375) set doesn't launch officially until July 1, you can pre-order it now for $69.99 at Between the big eyes, printed scales and a mischievous expression, this version of Toothless is totally precious. Hiccup's pal stands at 16 cm (6.5 inches) tall, which makes him small enough to display easily, but movable joints elevate the final product. He even comes with a fish (for snacking, obviously) and a little blue plasma-blast that fits in his mouth like he's ready to defend Berk at any moment. LEGO also nailed the details with his signature red tail fin that Hiccup repaired after their first crash landing. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Speaking of Hiccup, I was a little disappointed that LEGO won't include a Hiccup minifigure, especially considering this version of Toothless is outfitted with a saddle. I found this custom one on Ebay, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a future 'How to Train Your Dragon' set provides more of the film's characters in minifigure form. Either way, Toothless in LEGO form feels like a long-overdue tribute to one of animation's greatest companions. And if you're anything like me (someone who tears up at the end of 'The Hidden World' every time, no matter how many times I've seen it) this is a set you'll want on your shelf.

LEGO fans can build a vending machine that dispenses Minifigures
The LEGO Group has announced the launch of the LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set; a retro-inspired building set designed for adults - with 1,343 pieces. I insert the included LEGO coin, turn the handle, and release one of 16 capsules, each containing bricks to build a minifigure. Each figure is a surprise, featuring nostalgic themes like Castle, Paradisa, and Fabuland, as well as Classic Space explorers and even the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer who uploaded the product idea to The functional brick-built vending machine offers collectors exclusive, nostalgic minifigures. The LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set was submitted by Belgium-based Fan Designer, Rob Vangansewinkel, as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. LEGO Ideas allows fans to submit product ideas, which are then voted for by the community before being considered to be made into a real LEGO set. Rob said: 'As a kid, I had a real vending machine at home and loved it - so the idea of creating a working LEGO brick version that dispenses minifigures just clicked. I started with a digital version of the model and posted it on LEGO Ideas. But I wasn't sure if the dispensing mechanism would really work, so I spent about two months testing and refining the design with actual LEGO bricks. I even took apart my old vending machine to understand the mechanics and make it work, and I'm so proud of the final product." The set blends LEGO building techniques with a true-to-life vending mechanism, complete with a click as you turn the knob. The LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set is available for LEGO Insiders early access from June 1, 2025, and for all from June 6, via and LEGO Stores, priced at € 169.99 / £ 149.99 / $ 179.99.
