A practical checklist of the delayed summer wave, with themes ranging from City and Technic to licensed display sets.
The delayed US launch brings together sets that have already appeared in other regions, giving American buyers a rare opportunity to compare reviews and completed builds before release day. That extra information should make prioritising much easier.
Planning for launch day
City, Technic and licensed themes make up much of the wave, with prices ranging from small impulse sets to major display pieces. Stock is likely to vary by retailer, especially for products tied to popular characters.
There is no need to buy everything on day one. Unless a set includes a limited promotion, waiting for wider availability can bring loyalty points, bundled gifts or the first meaningful discount.
