Summer is heating up early, because today’s episode of BrickCast is all about the first big wave of LEGO’s summer releases! That’s right—new sets are crashing onto the scene faster than you can say "where am I going to put all of these?" and we are here to break them all down, one glorious brick at a time. Whether you’re a Marvel fanatic, a space nerd, a Fortnite warrior, or just someone who loves the smell of new LEGO in the morning, this episode has something for you.

First up, we’re diving into the Fantastic Four vs. Galactus set, where Marvel’s First Family takes on the giant purple guy who’s always hungry. From there, we launch straight into orbit with the jaw-dropping NASA 747 with Space Shuttle Discovery—a beautiful, swooshable, coffee-table-eating beast of a set.

Feeling a little more cuddly? Good, because we’re also checking out the 101 Dalmatians Buildable Puppy and the Stitch & Angel builds, bringing maximum adorable energy to your display shelf. Warning: side effects may include spontaneous “aww” sounds.

Gamers, get ready—we've got a full squad of new Fortnite sets dropping, including Peely, Sparkplug, Klombo, and the absolutely monstrous Mecha Team Leader. If you've ever wanted to build a giant robot banana, congratulations, your moment has arrived.

And for you high-class art lovers, don’t worry—we’re keeping it classy too, with the Keith Haring Dancing Figures LEGO Art set. It’s bold, it's colorful, and it’s guaranteed to make your living room look 32% cooler.

That’s not all: we're also solving mysteries with the newly revealed Sherlock Holmes Book Nook, hopping aboard the Hogwarts Express Book Nook, and taking a long, admiring look at the towering new Hogwarts Castle: The Main Tower set (minifigures galore included).

Oh, and Minecraft fans? We got you covered as well! Finally, LEGO Ideas is dropping some serious heat with the Prize Machine—a set you’re definitely going to want to budget for come June 1st.

Bottom line: today’s episode is a whirlwind tour through what promises to be one of the most exciting LEGO summers in years. So grab a snack, get comfortable, and join me for a full breakdown of all the must-haves, the maybes, and the "I need to sell a kidney" sets coming soon.
