August was a bumper month for Lego, bringing plenty of bricks for you to beat the heat with. September is an altogether quieter outing... that is, unless you like Star Wars, and a certain new Star Wars TV show on Disney+ in particular...
Yes, it’s Ahsoka’s merchandising world, and we’re just living in it, as this month brings with it a volley of Star Wars sets inspired by the new show—and then some. But it’s far from all that’s on offer if spacebound Lego doesn’t tickle your fancy. Back on Earth, its mightiest heroes prepare for action with a new wave of Marvel collectible minifigures, and things take to the sky with a massive new set based on the legendary Concorde Jet. And while spooky season may nearly be on us, Lego is already looking to holidays beyond it with a few new advent calendars.
Click through to see what’s coming for Lego, and your wallet, in September.

Hitting first for members of Lego’s revamped “Insiders” program (formerly known as Lego VIP) on September 4 before releasing widely September 7, this massive 2,000-piece kit replicates the smooth, sleek lines of one of the most famous passenger planes of all time. $200, available here.

Concorde a little too rich for your blood? Your Lego City can still get in on the aviation antics with a new Passenger Airplane, which, while half the piece count, is much more minifig-friendly, and comes with some bonus builds to recreate various airport support vehicles. $120, available here.

Last month saw Lego launch its Sonic line in earnest, and the blue blur and his best friend are now speeding their way to the company’s buildable chibi-figure line. Sonic and Tails are $10 apiece, and can be found available here and here, respectively.

Lego’s celebration of 100 years of Disney continues with this elaborate tribute to Walt Disney himself—included as a minifigure with a little retro vignette of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, right next to a giant replica of a film camera, complete with Lego-ized reel cells of iconic Disney movie moments. $100, available here.

Elsewhere in the world of Disney is this vignette depicting an iconic moment from Peter Pan, as the titular forever-boy dazzles Wendy with a nighttime soar over London. $60, available here.

Based on a crowd-supported design by José María, this trio of bug habitats lets you build replicas of a Hercules Beetle, a Blue Morpho Butterfly, and a Praying Mantis. $80, available here.

The second series of blind-packaged Marvel minifigures once again primarily draws from Marvel Studios’ recent Disney+ shows with heroes like She-Hulk and Moon Knight. But there’s also a few interesting additions in there, like a trio of X-Men: Wolverine, Beast, and Storm. $5 per pack, available here.

Ahead of a few more holiday sets releasing later this year, Lego is dropping its highly anticipated minibuild advent calendars for a host of licenses, from City to Star Wars. Here’s the list:
10 / 15
The Ahsoka show is here, and so is the Lego, kicking off with the latest version of the Jedi shuttle. This updated set comes with four minifigures, including Ahsoka, Sabine Wren, Professor Huyang, and the mysterious Inquisitor Marrok. $80, available here.
11 / 15
It’s not all Ahsoka, though. Dare you gaze into the haunting eyes of this brick-built Chewbacca? $200, available here.
12 / 15
We’ve already had a good look up close at this brand new take on the Ghost from Rebels, but it’s definitely a crowning joy of the Ahsoka sets, and not just because it includes everyone’s space mom, Hera Syndulla. $160, available here.
13 / 15
Away from Ahsoka again we go back to the Clone War with this fancy updated Republic Gunship—decked in the red livery of the Coruscant Guard. $140, available here.
14 / 15
Lastly for Ahsoka, we have the return of a legend—the iconic EU successor to the X-Wing starfighter, the E-Wing, making its canon debut in the new show, albeit paired here with another new fighter from this week’s episode: Shin Hati’s WWII fighter plane-esque vessel. $110, available here.
