What's new at Lego for October? New sets to get stuck into — including a Holiday countdown kit

Lego has unveiled its latest collection of building sets for October, offering a variety of new themes despite a smaller lineup compared to previous months. The release features seasonal items, most notably the Santa Holiday Countdown, which includes an integrated clock, and a Buddy the Elf set. For fans of classic animation, the company has introduced a long-awaited Aardman collaboration featuring Wallace & Gromit on their iconic motorbike and sidecar. While the US market sees a focus on holiday-themed and Pokémon-inspired kits, UK consumers also gain access to new sets based on the Wednesday series. Other notable additions across regions include the Marvel Avengers: Doomsday Quinjet and various Christmas-themed decorations. Although the collection is lighter on Halloween-specific content than some enthusiasts might have hoped, the new range provides a diverse selection of builds for collectors and hobbyists looking to transition into the holiday season.
