Out of the blue, two sets based on the One Piece manga have been announced for August. More here.

The news recently broke that the Star Trek series is coming to LEGO. It would be wonderful if this launch also brought us something new in BrickHeadz.

The first photo of set number 40668 has appeared online. The quality is poor and I’m sure we’ll get the official photos any moment now, which is why I’m only writing this short mention; I’ll hold off on a separate article for now 😉 In the set we get Captain America and Red Hulk. Release on 1 December.

A bit of trivia. Every now and then someone tries their hand at LEGO Ideas with a BrickHeadz project. I’ve never seen a project get more than a few hundred votes. And then suddenly this project appears and, at the time of writing this post, it has collected almost 5 thousand votes. To take part in the final review you need at least 10 thousand. I wonder what chances a project from our series would have 🙂

Personally I’m a BrickHeadz collector and I collect them for my own pleasure, but I won’t pretend I don’t know that many people are interested in this series mainly for investment reasons. And as it happens, the FanKlocków YouTube channel (a Polish LEGO fan channel) has posted a recording of a live stream that took place two weeks ago, and it’s about buying BH for later resale. It may be controversial that I’m promoting this, since that approach directly affects the prices of retired sets, but firstly, fanklockow.pl simply do a fantastic job, and secondly, our series is exclusive anyway, and that’s the main reason prices always go up, never down.

Rumour had it that figures based on Fortnite and Animal Crossing would come out this year. And now worrying information has appeared that the sets won’t come out after all. Whether the information about their release was false from the start or the sets were cancelled for some reason isn’t known. We’re waiting for more information.

BrickHeadz figures number 239, 240 and 241 come from the set “Joy, Sadness & Anxiety”, number 40749. Figure number 244 is Iron Man from LEGO 40669. So where are numbers 242 and 243? They will probably be two figures from a set based on the film Captain America: Brave New World. The film was originally due out this year, but its release was moved to 2025, which is probably the reason for the temporary gap in the numbering.
