Lego is set to make waves in the world of toy design with the upcoming launch of its Lego Icons Tropical Aquarium set, scheduled for release on November 16. This new set, comprised of 4,154 pieces, allows enthusiasts to create a vibrant aquarium without the hassle of water maintenance. Priced at $480, it stands as a captivating decor option for any room.
For those who preorder through Lego’s Insider program, an exciting bonus awaits. Customers will receive the Lego Fish Tank Filter and Fish Food set, valued at $20, free of charge. Preorder customers will also have the advantage of receiving their aquarium set three days earlier, on November 13.
The completed aquarium spans over 20 inches wide and showcases a variety of tropical fish, including brick-based replicas of rainbowfish, angelfish, and a unique striped brickfish designed by Lego’s team. The design includes fun mechanical elements that enable the fish to wiggle and “swim,” enhancing the realistic feel of the aquarium. Additional features, such as a hidden crab, moving anemones, and a crank-operated treasure chest, are also part of the immersive experience.
This isn’t Lego’s first foray into the realm of aquatic-themed sets, but the Tropical Aquarium set far surpasses the retired Lego Creator Fish Tank kit in terms of complexity and piece count. As the previous fish tank kit is no longer available, this new set is the best option for those looking to add a Lego aquarium to their collection.
For fans of the holiday season, Lego continues to broaden its appeal with the launch of Advent calendars, which offer 24 themed miniature builds, including options from popular franchises such as Star Wars, Minecraft, and Lego Friends.
Looking ahead, Lego is also preparing for the spring release of several Batman sets on March 1, 2026, with preorders now available. These sets resonate with fans of the Caped Crusader, particularly those fond of various Batmobiles from iconic films.
Additionally, collectors should note that the popular Minecraft Crafting Table diorama, consisting of 1,195 pieces, is set to retire soon. Currently available for $72, it presents a great opportunity for fans, especially when paired with the recently released Creeper figure that’s been discounted to $32.
Lego continues to innovate and expand its lineup, providing fans with exciting new options to explore and create while fostering a sense of nostalgia and creativity that resonates across generations.
