May\u2019s a quiet month for Lego, with one big exception:\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> Day means a fancy big new set to celebrate. But\u00a0the galaxy far, far away is far from the only thing on Lego\u2019s mind this month.<\/p>\n

While the launch of the new UCS Mandalorian\u2019s N-1 Starfighter is definitely the biggest for the month\u2014alongside its accompanying bonus gifts\u2014it\u2019s pretty much all there is for\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>, with the rest of the\u00a0Mandalorian and Grogu<\/em>-themed sets having released in late April. Away from\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>, we\u2019ve got a surprise\u00a0Jurassic Park<\/em> set that gives us an iconic vehicle rather than a dinosaur and Toy Story 5<\/em> preparation with a trio of new sets. Check out the best of what\u2019s coming to stores this month below!<\/p>\n

Lego Star Wars <\/em>Ultimate Collector Series Mandalorian\u2019s N-1 Starfighter<\/h2>\n

\u00a9 Lego<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a bit of a shame such a good replica of Din Djarin\u2019s sleek ride from\u00a0The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> and\u00a0The Mandalorian<\/em> season three is just weeks away from being replaced with the Razor Crest<\/em> again, but that doesn\u2019t stop Lego\u2019s latest UCS release from looking like a stunner. Clocking in at 1,809 pieces, the new set comes with minifigures of Din and Grogu and can be displayed in two directions on its included flight stand.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s also arriving with a series of special Gift With Purchases bonuses that can all be easily acquired with a purchase of the new set. Buying the N-1 Starfighter gets you a bonus metallic ornament depicting Din and Grogu in the cockpit, while spending $160 on any Star Wars<\/em> set nets you a buildable Darksaber, and $40 on select sets gets you a mini\u00a0Razor Crest<\/em> inspired by the new movie. ($250, available May 1 for Lego Insiders and May 4 widely).<\/p>\n

Lego\u00a0Jurassic Park\u00a0<\/em>Jeep Wrangler<\/h2>\n

If you were expecting a dino out of the next\u00a0Jurassic Park<\/em> set, think again! Instead, one of the iconic Jeep Wranglers from the original film, clad out in its park livery, is getting the swanky treatment. Although it\u2019s far from minifigure scale, the set does come with one pretty great minifigure: a rain-soaked Dennis Nedry, complete with Barbasol can. ($200, available May 7)<\/p>\n

The fifth\u00a0Toy Story<\/em> is nearly here, but just one of Lego\u2019s new sets is directly inspired by the latest movie. The others call upon some familiar faces: from\u00a0Toy Story 3<\/em>, there\u2019s the nefarious Lotso, while you can harken back to the original with a very fun Pizza Planet Alien build and an even cuter set of bookends inspired by Slinky Dog.<\/p>\n

Lego Collectible Minifigures Series 29<\/h2>\n
\"Lego
\u00a9 Lego<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lego\u2019s latest wave of blind-box minifigures has a ton of fun figures, from a chocolatier to a boba tea girl and even a slimy junk monster. But most people are going to be eager for the closest thing to new Bionicle<\/em> we\u2019ve had in years with the Tahu cosplayer. Let\u2019s hope he outperforms all the other minifigures and Lego realizes it\u2019s time for a reboot again! ($5 each, available here)<\/p>\n

Lego Botanicals Rocking Plants<\/h2>\n

Lego\u2019s Botanicals range has been huge for the brick-maker, but one of its most popular sets in the line by far was the adorable Happy Plants plant pots, which now get a spiritual successor in the form of these adorable pastel pots that can rock around\u2014although if you want them planted on the ground (see what we did there?), it looks like it\u2019ll be easy to remove the rocking elements and have a new set of smiling pots to go with your old pair. ($23, available here)<\/p>\n
