It’s mid-September, so it’s time to talk about…Christmas!  Yeah, I know. 

On the holiday front, LEGO just dropped the brand-new Winter Train, but the real showstopper is the Family Christmas Tree. Over 3,100 pieces, seven minifigs, a $330 price tag… and here’s the kicker: it’s rated 9+. Finally, a massive set that isn’t slapped with the “18+” label just because it has more than 1,500 pieces. It’s refreshing to see LEGO actually trust that kids (and let’s be honest—parents) can handle a big build without a black box telling them they’re too young.

But wait—it gets better. LEGO teased Star Trek, and they did it in Klingon. Yes, it’s officially happening. Dust off your communicator badges and get ready, because this one is going to be big.

Over in LEGO Ideas, the Timeless Creations contest has its winner: a beautiful Vintage Sewing Machine that looks so realistic you’ll want to hem your own LEGO jeans. And since we’re on the subject of Ideas, I also give you my personal top 15 picks from the latest review round. No official selections yet, but if you want to hear which sets I think deserve the spotlight, you’re going to want to stick around.

It’s a mix of nostalgia, festive cheer, and speculation—all wrapped in LEGO goodness. So, grab your eggnog early (don’t pretend you don’t have some hidden in the fridge already) and tune in for the latest brick-by-brick breakdown.
