November 2026 has officially arrived, and it is a smaller month for LEGO releases, LEGO is dropping some of the most massive, detailed models of the year right on the threshold of the holiday shopping season. With a lineup consisting of four core retail sets plus an exclusive companion Gift with Purchase (GWP) bringing the total footprint to five products, this slate actually doubles the modest two-set launch schedule from November 2025.
What the lineup lacks in numbers, it makes up for in scale, with one of the biggest LEGO sets ever made and the first set from one of anime’s most iconic worlds.
Rather than overwhelming builders with dozens of small releases, LEGO’s strategy this month leans heavily into high-tier adult collectors, often referred to in retail marketing as “whales.” We are seeing record-breaking piece counts and high-end display models headline the slate, offset by a single, ultra-accessible budget entry designed for broad market appeal.
Furthermore, as is customary for November launches, builders should stay on high alert for mid-to-late month surprise drops or unannounced curveballs that typically materialize after the month gets underway.
The biggest highlights include the massive 21065 Sagrada Família, which becomes the largest LEGO set ever by piece count, and 11390 Dragon Ball: Shenron & Goku, the first LEGO Dragon Ball set. LEGO Icons fans also get the huge 11388 Venetian Neighborhood, while LEGO Botanicals adds the budget-friendly 10371 Cozy Plants.
All sets are available to LEGO Insiders from November 1, with everyone else able to buy them from November 4. Joining the LEGO Insiders program is free, so there is nothing stopping you from getting early access. Later in the month, LEGO Insiders Weekend runs on November 21-22, followed by Black Friday on November 27, so keep an eye out for deals and gifts with purchase.
Below, you’ll find every officially confirmed LEGO set releasing in November 2026, conveniently sorted by theme with pricing, piece counts, minifigures and release dates.
1 new LEGO Architecture set arriving this month, but it is a big one. 21065 Sagrada Família will be released on November 1, 2026 for $799.99, bringing Gaudí’s famous basilica to life in 12,060 pieces:
| Name | Pieces | Minifigures | Price (USD) | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21065 Sagrada Família | 12,060 | 0 | $799.99 | November 1, 2026 |
Headlining the month is a historic milestone for the LEGO Architecture line and the wider LEGO portfolio. At an astonishing 12,060 pieces, 21065 Sagrada Família captures Antoni Gaudí’s legendary Barcelona masterpiece in breathtaking detail, officially taking the crown as the largest LEGO set ever released by piece count.
While the substantial price tag firmly positions this build in the high-end collector market, its value proposition deserves critical recognition. When evaluating price-per-piece metrics, the Sagrada Família compares exceptionally well against big-budget flagship builds in other themes, offering an unprecedented volume of elements and extensive build time relative to its retail price.
1 new LEGO Botanicals set, 10371 Cozy Plants, will be released on November 1.
| Name | Pieces | Minifigures | Price (USD) | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10371 Cozy Plants | 248 | 0 | $22.99 | November 1, 2026 |
Standing in stark contrast to the month’s high-priced collector models, 10371 Cozy Plants serves as November’s sole budget-friendly, mass-appeal release.
Designed to capture casual shoppers, non-traditional builders, and seasoned collectors alike, this set expands upon the burgeoning series of display-ready botanical pots, building directly on the success of previous iterations like the wildly popular Happy Plants and Rocking Plants models.
2 new LEGO Icons sets will be released in November 2026. 11390 Dragon Ball: Shenron & Goku makes its debut as a LEGO Icons set, while 11388 Venetian Neighborhood transports builders to the canals of Venice with 17 minifigures and a glassblowing shop. Both are LEGO exclusives:
| Name | Pieces | Minifigures | Price (USD) | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11390 Dragon Ball: Shenron & Goku | 1764 | 1 | $179.99 | November 1, 2026 |
| 11388 Venetian Neighborhood | 5682 | 17 | $549.99 | November 1, 2026 |
Marking a major landmark for licensed themes, 11390 Dragon Ball: Shenron & Goku represents the inaugural product born from LEGO’s collaboration with the iconic Dragon Ball franchise. Constructing Shenron’s extended, serpentine body is “the very best kind of repetitive” while the build naturally requires repeating structural sub-assemblies, the overall process remains thoroughly fun and deeply satisfying from start to finish.
This display model sets a strong foundation for what is confirmed to be an ongoing partnership, paving the way for potential minifigure-focused expansion sets in the future.
Capturing the architectural charm and winding canals of Venice, 11388 Venetian Neighbourhood is a massive display set loaded with vibrant Italian detail. Designed as a sweeping urban landscape, this model pairs directly with November’s primary display-based promotional item to create a seamless European streetscape.
From a fan display perspective, the crossover possibilities are endless whether you choose to position an Indiana Jones minifigure perched dramatically on a gondola bow or set up the canal front directly adjacent to the LEGO Titanic for an epic historical display!
There is 1 new gift with purchase confirmed for November 2026, and it comes with the biggest LEGO Icons set of the month. A second GWP that started in late October may still be available early in the month while stocks last:
| Name | Pieces | How to Get It | Availability(USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40898 Venetian Water Taxi | 322 | Free with a purchase of 11388 Venetian Neighborhood | From November 1, 2026 |
| 40889 Build, Paint and Play! | – | Free when you spend $130 or more on LEGO.com or in LEGO Stores | Started October 28, 2026, while stocks last |
Serving as the companion set to 11388 Venetian Neighbourhood, the 322-piece 40898 Venetian Water Taxi adds an essential canal vehicle to complete the streetscape. However, its release structure has drawn notable critique from the community.
Because the water taxi feels like it inherently belongs inside the main set box, fan sentiment compares it to video game “day-one downloadable content (DLC).” This practice mirrors controversial historical promos, such as the mini TIE Fighter bundled with the Death Star or the water filter tied to last year’s tropical aquarium.
By locking this crucial vehicle strictly behind purchases of 11388, LEGO creates artificial scarcity that rapidly inflates prices on secondary markets like eBay.
Originating from fan designer Doomslizer’s winning submission in the Build Your Favourite Hobby Challenge, 40889 Build, Paint and Play! is a creative tribute to the model kit, Gunpla, and miniature painting communities.
Built upon a green cutting mat, the set includes brick-built representations of a model sprue, craft knife, glue bottle, paint pot, and paintbrush.
For Classic Space completionists, this GWP is an unmissable release: the brick-built sprue includes two crucial recolors, a modern Light Bluish Gray Classic Space Helmet and matching Air Tanks. Combining these elements with the Light Bluish Gray torso from Collectible Minifigures Series 17’s Rocket Boy enables fans to assemble a fully unified Light Gray Classic Space Astronaut for the very first time, ending a 9-year wait!
November 2026 presents a distinct launch footprint: a concise selection of individual sets that nevertheless delivers record-breaking piece counts, high-end display pieces, and a landmark licensed universe debut.
Between the historical milestone of the 12,060-piece Sagrada Família, the long-awaited arrival of Dragon Ball, and high-value GWPs, fans have plenty of options to navigate as the holiday promotional schedule begins.
