Seven LEGO January 1 sets worth buying on day one

Struggling to sort out your January 1 LEGO priorities? We've got a selection of upcoming LEGO sets we think are worth buying on day one.

There are over 100 LEGO sets about to launch on January 1, coming to LEGO stores around the world. If you're feeling overwhelmed and looking for some guidance on where to start, you might want to consider prioritising some sets that could go on back order fast, a tempting GWP, or sets that we think are well-priced and make for a great first build of the year.

LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull

Price: £39.99 / $44.99 / €44.99 Pieces: 468 Buy now: 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull

lego jurassic world 76969 Dinosaur Fossils Triceratops Skull lifestyle featured 1024x576

Starting off with 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull, a small but mighty set that's the second entry in what might be one of our favourite collections in the LEGO system. Reasonably priced at £39.99 / $44.99 / €44.99, the LEGO Jurassic World set isn't just for fans of the franchise – although just look at that minifigure – but also for those who just love dinosaurs. The quirky fossil build is perfect for display and we loved the build experience when we had it for review.

LEGO Icons 10343 Mini Orchid and 10344 Lucky Bamboo

Price: £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99 Pieces: 274 / 325 Buy now: 10343 Mini Orchid / 10344 Lucky Bamboo

If you've already got the first two of the LEGO Botanical Four Gentlemen collection, you won't want to waste any time in picking up the next two: 10343 Mini Orchid and 10344 Lucky Bamboo. They've very well-priced at just £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99, so there's no real need to wait around for a discount and they'll make for the perfect decor pieces to replace the Christmas decorations you need to take down.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 31161 Medieval Dragon

Price: £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99 Pieces: 715 Buy now: 31161 Medieval Dragon

LEGO Creator 3 in 1 31161 Medieval Dragon featured 1024x576

We've been watching lyrical left, right, and centre about 31161 Medieval Dragon but you don't get a better day-one purchase than a set with three killer build options, a temptingly reasonable price, and both play and display potential. LEGO Creator 3-in-1 has been coming into its own over the last couple of years and this centrepiece of the January wave could easily go on back order fast, judging from people's excitement ahead of its release.

LEGO Icons 10350 Tudor Corner

Price: £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99 Pieces: 3,266 Buy now: 10350 Tudor Corner

LEGO Icons 10350 Tudor Corner featured 2 1024x576

10350 Tudor Corner will be accompanied with 40757 Corner Kiosk if you buy the latest LEGO modular building between January 1 and 7, or while stocks last. From past experience, it's pretty safe to say that the tie-in GWP will likely sell out fast, so if you want the matching set of both 10350 Tudor Corner and 40757 Corner Kiosk, it's well worth buying the LEGO Icons set on day one – and early in the day too.

LEGO Icons 10355 Blacktron Renegade

Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Pieces: 1,151 Buy now: 10355 Blacktron Renegade

lego icons 10355 blacktron renegade lifestyle above featured 1024x576

As a LEGO exclusive, we're unlikely to see 10355 Blacktron Renegade elsewhere anytime soon. What's more, nostalgic LEGO sets like this one often pull in a ton of interest, so it's entirely possible it'll go on back order quickly. If you're a classic Space fan, 10355 Blacktron Renegade might be one to buy sooner rather than later.

LEGO Star Wars 75403 Grogu with Hover Pram

Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Pieces: 1,048 Buy now: 75403 Grogu with Hover Pram

LEGO Star Wars 75403 Grogu with Hover Pram featured 1024x576

The Baby Yoda effect introduced a wealth of new fans to Star Wars when The Mandalorian came to our screens back in 2019 and his enduring impact carries on today. By which we mean, if there's a product where Grogu looks cute, it's almost guaranteed to sell well. 75403 Grogu with Hover Pram has appeal to Star Wars fans of all ages, so this is another set we'd recommend buying quickly, if you don't want to wait a while for it to come out of back order.
