March is bringing a ton of new Lego sets to shelves—and a very special celebration for one of the toymaker’s biggest lines, as the Lego Star Wars range celebrates its 25th anniversary with tons of special sets. But that’s far from all that’s dropping this month.
The other major March launch is the highly anticipated Lego and Nintendo collaboration for the very first Animal Crossing sets, and beyond that there’s more Marvel on the way, new space-y Technic releases to chart the stars, and even a few new major sets in Lego’s adult-oriented lines, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ cottage to a very swanky return to Lego Castle vibes in the medieval town square. Click through to see everything else releasing this month!

Lego’s really embracing space again lately—not just in riffs on its iconic Lego Space sets, but through Technic offering both real-world and futuristic riffs on space technology and science too. This latest set is no exception, letting you build a practical functioning orrery to track the phases of the moon, and the earth’s position in the solar system. $75, available here.

There’s plenty more space on the horizon for Technic too, with a new cargo spaceship, a Mars Rover, and surface loader this month. For those more earthbound vehicular activities there’s plenty on offer too, including a Formula E race car, and more.

A few years ago Lego already came out with an epic R2-D2 model in its Ultimate Collector Series range. But now the heroic astromech is getting a more condense, but still finely detailed replica to launch Lego’s celebration for 25 years of Lego Star Wars. The build itself is great, but the secret killer add-on? The brand new Darth Malak minifigure included as an anniversary bonus, the first time the Knights of the Old Republic villain has made it to Lego. $100, available here.

Recreate the iconic opening of A New Hope with this mini diorama depicting the hallways of the Tantive IV—soon to be strewn with poor Rebel bodies. Like R2, this kit comes with a new-to-Lego character in minifigure form as a bonus: poor ARC Trooper Fives. $55, available here.

The Star Wars 25th anniversary releases are rounded out with a brand new sub-line in the Starship Collection. Inspired by the narrative diorama releases Lego has recently done, this will take the ships big and small of the galaxy far, far away and recreate them in a more display-friendly scale and presentation.
