Ministry of Magic, the Batmobile and the Advent Calendars. Dates, prices and the offers ending 6 September
Soleback Team
September 2026 starts earlier than usual at LEGO, on 29 August with the Back to Hogwarts event. The main wave lands on 1 September and is almost entirely pop culture: SpongeBob, Batman, Star Trek and Shrek. Below is the full rundown with prices, dates and the promotions that expire on 6 September.
The month's biggest set is the Ministry of Magic Collectors' Edition at £389.99
The rest of the wave arrives on 1 September and leans heavily on licences
Three gift-with-purchase offers run only until 6 September
The 2026 Advent Calendars go live on 1 September and usually sell through quickly
Buying through Soleback returns 3.5 percent, which is £13.65 on the Ministry of Magic
One more thing before the list: if you are after LEGO at promotional prices, it is worth checking our promotions section regularly. It collects the current offers, and on larger sets timing often matters more than which shop you use.
76476 Ministry of Magic Collectors' Edition 3,491 pieces, 14 minifigures, £389.99, from 29 August

The big Harry Potter exclusive of the year and the set that opens the September wave. At 3,491 pieces and fourteen minifigures it is both the largest and the most expensive release of the month.
Price per piece works out at £0.11, which for a licensed set with this many minifigures is solid value.
It arrives alongside 40975 Mini Hogwarts Castle at £34.99, also from 29 August.

76355 Batman Returns Batmobile £189.99, Insiders early access from 1 September

The Tim Burton Batmobile from the 1992 film, and for many the real highlight of the month. Insiders get in first.
11386 SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom 1,794 pieces, £189.99, from 1 September

SpongeBob's debut in the adult line, at £0.11 per piece.
11385 U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge 1,701 pieces, £159.99, from 1 September

The piece count is no accident, because 1701 is the Enterprise hull designation. A neat design detail, and at £0.09 per piece the best value among the month's larger sets.
11383 Mayor Manor £99.99, from 1 September

The first set in the new Midnight Valley range, an Icons sub-theme with a spooky bent. If it lands, expect an entire haunted neighbourhood to follow.
43024 Ayrton Senna Helmet £79.99, from 1 September

76345 Doctor Doom Bust £44.99, from 1 September

71053 Minifigures Shrek £3.49 a pack, from 1 September

Twelve characters from the Kingdom Far Far Away, in blind boxes, so no control over what you get.
Brickheadz, all from 1 September:
40858 SpongeBob SquarePants, 72 pieces, £10.99

40859 Golden Age Superman and Batman, £22.99

40919 Gremlins Gizmo and Stripe, £22.99

Available from 1 September and traditionally produced in limited quantities. If you want the Star Wars, Marvel or City calendar, do not leave it until late October.
75456 Star Wars Advent Calendar, £29.99

76340 Marvel Advent Calendar, £29.99

43298 Disney Advent Calendar, £29.99

60510 City Advent Calendar, £22.99

42698 Friends Advent Calendar, £22.99

This section is about money that never appears on a price tag.
Gift sets are exclusive to the official LEGO shop. Buy the same products from a third-party retailer and you pay much the same but get no extra. And because these sets are never sold separately, they later trade above the price of some regular retail sets.
The Back to Hogwarts promotions run from 29 August to 6 September:
40901 Ministry Munchies and The Daily Prophet Stands, free when you spend £115 on LEGO Harry Potter

5011072 Ministry of Magic Phone Booth, only with a purchase of the Ministry of Magic

30724 Dumbledore's Office with Harry Potter, free when you spend £35 on Harry Potter
Insiders Reward: Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Bauble, redeemable for 1,700 points
Selected Harry Potter sets are also on sale for Insiders, with double points on a further selection. Full terms are on the offers and promotions page.
Check your basket clears the threshold before you place the order. Being £35 short can cost you the entire gift.
On sets in the three-figure range the maths is worth doing.
Buying from the official LEGO shop through Soleback returns 3.5 percent of the order value, at a single rate across the whole range and identical in every region:
Ministry of Magic: £13.65 back
Batmobile and SpongeBob: £6.65 each
Enterprise Bridge: £5.60
Mayor Manor: £3.50
Senna Helmet: £2.80
Star Wars Advent Calendar: £1.05
The click through Soleback has to be the last one before the shop, and cashback clears once the returns window closes.
Worth flagging, because the set is frequently listed as a September release. The Sagrada Família 21065 with 12,060 pieces is available to pre-order now but does not launch until 1 November 2026, after the date slipped by four months.
At £649.99 that works out at £0.054 per piece, the lowest figure of the entire year. Anyone planning a large purchase this autumn should keep it in view.
The promotions end on 6 September. Three free gifts expire, so if a Harry Potter set is on your list, do not wait.
Advent calendars are produced in limited numbers. Star Wars, Marvel and City historically go first.
Insiders early access is real. Members reach the Batmobile before everyone else, which on limited sets decides the outcome.
Pre-order does not mean immediate dispatch. On the Sagrada Família there are two months between order and delivery.
The Ministry of Magic 76476, with 3,491 pieces and fourteen minifigures, at £389.99.
On 6 September 2026. They began on 29 August alongside the Back to Hogwarts event.
From 1 September, priced between £22.99 and £29.99.
No. It is available to pre-order but does not launch until 1 November 2026.
3.5 percent of the order value, identical across every region.
Yes, for three reasons: free gift sets available nowhere else, earlier access to major releases, and 3.5 percent cashback.
A month with almost no Technic and a clear tilt towards licences. The Ministry of Magic is the largest item, the Batmobile the most discussed, and the Enterprise Bridge offers the best value among the bigger sets at £0.09 per piece.
If you were buying anything from the Harry Potter range anyway, put 6 September in the diary. After that the gifts are gone and cannot be bought separately.
