If you’re looking for a summer project that keeps you out of the sweltering heat, LEGO.com has got you covered. Far from kids’ play, the advanced LEGO Icons and Editions sets are built for teen and adult fans. They’re challenging, immersive, impressive, and the perfect way to embrace your fandom.
The newest LEGO releases feature some huge new sets to shop for, so here are three recent arrivals that stood out to us.
Celebrate FIFA with a 3D wall display
While the world’s best soccer players do their final prep ahead of the FIFA World Cup kick-off, superfans can prep for all the watch parties with the incredible Lionel Messi Celebration set from LEGO Editions.
Featuring Messi’s iconic Number 10 striped jersey against a sky-and-pitch backdrop (and subtle nods to his life and career), this 3D wall art is the perfect way to show your support and love for the game. Sitting at 1,427 pieces, it’s a suitable build for teens and adults to complete as a fun group activity this summer break.

Bring the magic of Disney into your home
One of the unique things about being a Disney fan is that you can talk about your fandom to almost anyone, and they’ll be able to relate to the nostalgia of it all. The LEGO Disney Main Street, U.S.A. kit will spark those magical memories for every level of fan.
It features three buildings — a fire station with the Walt Disney family apartment, the Emporium, and the Crystal Arcade — in one display-worthy model. The sprawling set comes with fun extras, including a popcorn wagon with a popping function and 16 minifigure characters, including Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Heroic effort with great reward
Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday won’t be gracing our screens until the end of the year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a superhero summer. The LEGO Marvel S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier model building kit includes detailed features, movie scenes, and six minifigures from The Avengers.
At 3,057 pieces and incorporating runways, engines, a control tower, aircraft, interior rooms, and more — it’s a challenging build that will keep you engaged for hours. Fans will love the clever references to scenes from the movie and attention to detail in the interiors.
While we’ve highlighted three standouts from the latest drop, there are plenty more collections to explore as you find your fandom flame. Shop all new LEGO sets for an immersive day indoors this summer.
