Unveiling the Most Anticipated LEGO Sets of April 2025!

In April 2025, LEGO is focusing on delivering quality over quantity, with just three sets taking center stage: The Disney Beauty and the Beast Castle (Set #43263), LEGO Ideas River Steamboat Set (#21356), and The Lord of the Rings: The Shire Icons set (#10354). For all details about these three sets, as well as the rest of the LEGO lineup and April 2025 promotions, check out the information provided below.

Remember that all the sets will become accessible on March 31st/April 1st at 9pm Pacific Time/12am Eastern Time, except for The Shire and Steamboat. If you’re eager to start building, check out many of the upcoming LEGO releases in the “Coming Soon” section on their website. After the launch, these sets will be moved to the “Available Now” section. Some of the new releases might also be found on Amazon, but it’s generally best to purchase from LEGO for their exclusive offers. You can easily create a free LEGO Insiders account here, which is essential if you want to get the free gift that comes with the LOTR set. In fact, all three of the largest LEGO sets for April will initially be available only to Insiders.

The LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Shire Set is priced at $269.99 and will make its debut on April 1st, with a special launch for LEGO Insiders starting from 9pm PT/12am ET. However, this set may not be available as a gift with purchase (GWP) when it becomes accessible to the general public on April 5th. You can find it exclusively at the LEGO Shop.

This collection known as The Shire includes 2017 parts and 9 figurines: Bilbo Baggins, Frodo, Mrs. Proudfoot, Farmer Proudfoot, Merry and Pippin (with interchangeable heads for the dragon firework scene recreation), Rosie, Samwise, and Gandalf the Grey. It draws inspiration from the eleventy-first birthday celebration of Bilbo Baggins, as seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Key features include a detailed interior, interactive elements like converting a burning letter into The One Ring or making Bilbo disappear with a twist of a knob. Additional items include Gandalf’s horse and cart, fireworks, a firework dragon figure, the Party Tree, a party pavilion, and Bilbo’s book, which can be either open or closed for display.

The Lord of the Rings: Smeagol & Deagol #40761″ – Experience this Limited-Time LEGO Offer (from April 2nd to April 8th, it might be sold out by the 4th): This model reenacts Sméagol and Déagol’s finding of The One Ring from “The Return of the King,” a moment that unfortunately leads to Déagol’s downfall. Interestingly, this dark theme seems to have caught LEGO’s attention, making us believe it will be highly sought after. The set comes with a rotatable boat and items such as The One Ring and fishing equipment.

Mark your calendars! The LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast Castle set #43263 goes on sale exclusively for LEGO Insiders on March 31st, starting at 9pm PT/12am ET. But don’t worry if you’re not an insider; everyone else can get their hands on it from April 4th, right here at the LEGO Shop.”

This version maintains the original information while using a more casual tone and clearer sentence structure for easier understanding.

This castle construction kit comprises 2916 pieces and 10 buildable characters: Belle, the Beast, Gaston, LeFou, Maurice, as well as Lumière, Fifi, Cogsworth, Chip, and Mrs. Potts figures. Once assembled, the Beauty and the Beast Castle will mimic the iconic structure from the beloved animated movie, allowing enthusiasts to delve into four levels boasting rooms like a rotating ballroom, a dining room with spinning dishes, and a tower room complete with the magical rose.

The LEGO Ideas River Steamboat Set #21356 will be launched on either the 6th or 7th of April at 9pm Pacific Time/12am Eastern Time, exclusively for LEGO Insiders at the LEGO Shop. From the 7th to the 13th of April, or while supplies last, LEGO Insiders will receive a free gift with their purchase – The LEGO Amelia Ticket Booth. On the 10th of April, it will be available to everyone.

With 4,090 components, the Steamboat set is certain to provide an engaging build experience, resulting in an accurate representation of a vintage river steamer. However, this boat offers more than just a historical replica – it has been renovated for entertainment tours, featuring a steam engine museum. Key elements include a meticulously designed pilothouse, crew quarters, bathroom on the Texas deck, a stage and eatery on the main deck, and a kitchen on the boiler deck.
