We are working our way through all the NEW MOULDS from the impressive Scuderia Ferrari HP helmets 43022 Lewis Hamilton & 43014 Charles Leclerc from LEGO® Editions Formula 1®.  Our full review of these intriguing and complex builds is on the blog including the pile of new printed elements. Here we take a look at two more new moulds: * Panel 5 x 5 x 3⅓ Corner, Curved Top  (8010) * Plate Round Corner 5 x 5 with 2 x 2 Cutout (8008) While the new panels are both printed, the plates are obviously print free.

Another day, another NEW MOULD from the impressive Scuderia Ferrari HP helmets 43022 Lewis Hamilton & 43014 Charles Leclerc from LEGO® Editions Formula 1®. Our full review of these intriguing and complex builds is on the blog, but here we are focussing on another weird new mould from the sets. Windscreen 10 x 2 x 4⅓ U Shape (8009) Is it a windscreen? Well LEGO named it, so we are going with their nomenclature here! Available printed in white and yellow at the moment, but there are more colours to come no doubt.

They're one of the the most complex and intriguing builds Elspeth has ever undertaken when reviewing for New Elementary! Get the complete picture on the blog, while here today we start by looking at the strangest new mould included, Visor Visor 13 x 9 x 4 (8023). ⚪ We were provided this product by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ 🔗 link in @newelementary bio or visit /2026/03/revealed-43022-scuderia-ferrari-hp.html ℹ️ Available now ℹ️ Price: US$89.99/ £79.99/ 89.99€/ AU$149.99 43014 Scuderia Ferrari HP Charles Leclerc Helmet ℹ️ Pieces: 886 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet ℹ️ Pieces: 884 . 📷&✏️by Elspeth De Montes . #gifted #RLFM #Review #Lego43014 #Lego43022

75426 Millennium Falcon, the second-largest set in the LEGO Star Wars SMART Play seems a great play set, but like the others the looks take a backseat here, although this one still looks good. For the right audience this will be a fun one. ⚪ We were provided this product by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ ℹ️ Pieces: 885 ℹ️ Price: 99,99 EUR / 99,99 USD / 89,99 GBP/ 149.99 AUD/ 419.99 PLN ℹ️ Ages: 9+ This set is Compatible, so it does not include a SMART Brick. It is also devoid of any side builds; all action takes place inside the ship. A 16x16 brick provides a sturdy base. Additional sections are held in place by Technic pins, and after bag 7 of 9, we have an open structure to play in before being finished off with a hinging roof and removable center beam. The cannons on top can rotate, but don’t hinge up and down. NEW MOULDS • Windscreen 5 x 6 x 2 2/3, Curved Top with Cockpit print in Trans-Clear (6599437 | 116864) • 2x Technic Axle with Oval Panel in Red (6569899 | 7791) • Brick 4 x 5 with Rounded End, Axle, Pin Holes, 2 x 2 Recessed Center • Tile 2 x 2 with SMART Tag with Millennium Falcon print in Red (6579665) • Tile 2 x 2 with SMART Tag with Hyperdrive print in Red (6579664) • Tile 2 x 2 with SMART Tag with Lightsabers print in Red (6579663) • Tile 2 x 2 with SMART Tag with Docking Ring print in Red (6579666) NEW MINIFIGURE PARTS All figures use existing heads, the Smart Tag bodies are new: • Han Solo in Black (6610521) • Chewbacca in Dark Brown (6610522) • Tatooine Luke Skywalker in White (6610514) • C-3PO in Pearl Gold (6594365) RECOLORS • 3x Plate 2 x 4 in Trans-Light Blue (6598272) • 2x Bracket 1 x 2 with 1 x 2 Vertical Studs in Dark Tan (6592331) • Tool Hammer in Green (6579923) • Brick 16 x 16 x 1⅓ in Dark Bluish Gray (6596696) DECORATIONS • Tile Round 3 x 3 with Dejarik Table print in Black (6599436 | 116863) • Minifig Head, Marksman-H Training Remote Droid in White (6537210 | 112342) The sticker sheet has just 4 stickers, all identical. Which seems to make them a great candidate to have been printed instead? . 📷&✏️by TobyMac @toby_mac83 . #gifted #RLFM #Review #Lego75426 #SmartPlay

“Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old. Great beasts drew it, orcs surrounded it, and behind walked mountain-trolls to wield it.” Set 40893 The Lord of the Rings: Grond is the Gift with Purchase with LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith™ from 1 to 7 June 2026! (While stocks last, T&Cs apply.) It features a functioning ram and 2 Orc minifigures; we reckon the olive green head is a new print! Watch out for our upcoming review. . #RLFM #Reveal #Lego40893 #LegoLOTR #LegoGwP

There’s little in the way of new elements in 75424 AT-ST Attack on Endor, a LEGO Star Wars SMART Play set. Swipe to see them. ⚪ We were provided this product by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ ℹ️ Pieces: 347 ℹ️ Price: 49,99 EUR / 49,99 USD / 44,99 GBP/ 79.99 AUD/ 209.99 PLN ℹ️ Ages: 8+ The brave Ewok Wicket is fighting off the Empire in the second-smallest set, comprising 347 parts and aimed at 8 year-olds. It includes a speeder bike and an AT-ST; both classic and well-represented LEGO Star Wars vehicles. The speeder bike is a decent build: nothing really standing out from previous versions, but not bad either. I found the AT-ST to be pretty underwhelming. The model is focussed on (rough) play, putting a limit on accuracy. The worst part is the legs, which don’t have any articulation. Surely a click hinge would be stiff enough? The ‘head’ is made out of 3 sections that wrap around the base, and is surprisingly sturdy. There are some big gaps though. For kids, this will be a decent play set, but for Star Wars fans looking for a realistic model, too many concessions have been made, and there's little in the new elements department. NEW MOULDS • Technic Axle with Oval Panel, appearing 2x in Red (6569899 | 7791), available in several other Smart Play sets • Tile Special 2 x 2 with Smart Tag with Speeder Bike print in Red (6579659 | 113617) • Tile Special 2 x 2 with Smart Tag with AT-ST print in Red (6579658 | 113617) NEW MINIFIGURE PARTS Wicket is the only Smart figure in the set, featuring a new body, and a head that has been used in a single other set. The AT-ST Driver and Scout Trooper both come with a new torso. • Minifig Body with SMART Tag, Medium Legs, Ewok in Reddish Brown (6612797 | 118267) • Torso, Imperial Uniform in Light Bluish Gray (6608274) • Torso, Scout Trooper Armor in White (6605589) RECOLOR • 2x Dish 4 x 4 with 4 Studs in Light Bluish Gray (6594239 | 65138) . 📷&✏️by TobyMac @toby_mac83 . #gifted #RLFM #Review #Lego75424 #SmartPlay

Swipe for your overview of all the new elements found in 75423 Luke's Red Five X-wing, a LEGO Star Wars SMART Play set. ⚪ We were provided this product by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ ℹ️ Pieces: 581 ℹ️ Price: 89,99 EUR / 99,99 USD / 79,99 GBP/ 149.99 AUD/ 389.99 PLN ℹ️ Ages: 6+ Luke’s Red Five X-wing includes several side-builds, including a communication center, a transporter and an Imperial turret. This set has the lowest age mark in the Smart Play range, aimed at 6 year-olds. The build is pretty basic, with playability and sturdiness pushing accuracy to the background. This will probably upset Star Wars fans, but my 9 year-old didn’t seem to mind. With so many Smart Tag tiles and minifigures there is plenty to play around with in this set, but it’s not a looker. That said, X-wings for 6 year-olds generally aren't. It includes one Smart Brick and 7 tags: 5 are tiles and 2 are minifigures, but one of those tiles is for R2-D2. NEW MOULDS • Brick Round Half 2 x 2 x 2 with 4 Studs on Side with R2-D2 Body print in White (6530828 | 111777) • Charger 8 x 14 x 1 2/3, Smart Play (111989) • Brick, Smart Play 2 x 4 x 1 2/3 in Black (6618029 | 118829) • Technic Axle with Oval Panel, appearing 2x in Red (6569899 | 7791) • Windscreen 4 x 6 x 2 with Light Bluish Gray X-Wing Cockpit print in Trans-Clear (6530829 | 111778) MINIFIGURES Luke Skywalker comes with a new head and Smart Tag body. The helmet has been in use since 2010. Leia comes with a new Smart Tag body. Her hair and head have been used many times before. R2-D2 comes with a brand-new robot body featuring an Astromech print. The dome is a regular one, but his head can now spin! Moving on to the regular minifigures, the Rebel features a new torso. The Stormtrooper has appeared in this form in several sets since 2024. RECOLOR Just the one, Tool Hammer / Sledgehammer in Green (6579923 | 75904), available in several other Smart Play sets. . 📷&✏️by TobyMac @toby_mac83 . #gifted #RLFM #Review #Lego75423 #LegoSmartPlay

Swipe for your overview of all the functions and new elements found in 75421 Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter™, a LEGO Star Wars SMART Play set. ⚪ We were provided this product by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ ℹ️ 473 pieces ℹ️ 69,99 EUR / 69,99 USD / 59,99 GBP/ 99.99 AUD / 299.99 PLN ℹ️ Ages: 8+ Currently the smallest (and least expensive) set to come with a Smart Brick, the set features the iconic Tie Fighter seen in A New Hope, a Rebel ‘base’ with a cannon and a refueling station. The set is a decent build, but the chunky design is clearly aimed at a younger audience enjoying rough play.

In a galaxy far, far away the X-wings have been repainted in blue! LEGO® Star Wars™ 75460 New Republic X-Wing Starfighter™ joined the ranks of previous T-65s in April, ahead of the rest of The Mandalorian and Grogu sets just released. ⚪ We were provided this product early by LEGO; opinions are our own. ⚪ There’s not sufficient content in this set for me to recommend it. Let's deal with the New Elementary negatives first: there are no new moulds, there's only one recolour and sadly, there are only four rare parts. This meagre offering makes it difficult to get excited about the set in terms of new parts. On the plus side, the minifigures do present some new prints and there’s a new astromech droid, which is always welcome if minifigures are your priority. The build is not bad, but perhaps for fans who also own one of the more recent versions, it might feel a little too familiar and perhaps therefore not unreasonable to expect something different? With another X-wing in this year’s product range, making something a bit more special would have had greater appeal for me.
