The start of the year is always a huge time for Lego, so it’s not surprising that February is looking a little slim on releases compared to last month. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very cool sets dropping—including the long-awaited release of the Dune set, and its glorious, glorious Long Baron.
Yes, the Dune Ornithopter is the clear standout of Lego’s February releases, but it’s joined by a handful of big sets, including the latest releases from the crowd-sourced Lego Ideas line. And if they’re too big for you, there’s even a handful of Lego’s cutesy BrickHeadz releases to make a little less of a dent in your wallet. Click through to see everything coming this month!

The massive recreation of House Atreides’ favorite mode of transport has foldable wings and landing gears, but really, as great as the model is, it’s the minifigures we’re here for: eight in total across the members of House Atreides and the Fremen, and the ultimate minifigure of the year: Stellan Skarsgård’s Baron Harkonnen, on his own little flight stand and with a huge robe to highlight the moment in the first movie where he ascends into the air and declares “My desert. My Arrakis. My Dune!” ($165, available here)

The first of two Ideas sets releasing this month is a sentimental one: at one glance, it’s a very pretty tree model, one that you can swap the foliage out of to depict different seasons. But its real treat is the series of buildable clips it comes with, so you can decorate the tree’s branches with treasured pictures. ($80, available here)

It feels like at this point Lego has gotten about as close as it can to rendering every postcard idea of what London is like in Lego form, but the ideas continue with this grand model of the classic British phone box. No, not that one. These ones don’t even have the audacity to travel in space and time! ($115, available here)
