The new Lego sets for July have arrived, with a fresh batch of 12 kits now open to pre-order across US and UK storefronts. Leading the new Lego sets for July is a model that film fans have been anticipating: Derpy, the clumsy superhuman cat from the KPop Demon Hunters movie, joined by his six-eyed avian sidekick Sussie.
The standout: a KPop Demon Hunters icon
For anyone who fell for the film, Derpy is the headline arrival. The accident-prone feline, famous for knocking things over, is now rendered in brick form alongside Sussie, giving the Huntrix and Saja Boys cast a memorable new companion. It is the kind of release that turns casual interest into an instant pre-order, especially for viewers who connected more with the movie's quirky supporting characters than its leads.
Tie-in sets like this are a reliable driver of demand for Lego, bridging the gap between film fandom and the building hobby. A buildable version of a fan-favourite character gives collectors a tangible reason to revisit a story they loved on screen.
What else is new this month
Beyond the Demon Hunters tie-in, July's wave spans several themes, mixing pop-culture nostalgia with vehicles and interactive builds. Standouts from the new arrivals include:
- Classic cars: A selection of new car models aimed at builders who enjoy detailed display pieces.
- Smart Bricks: Fresh additions to Lego's interactive, tech-infused Smart Bricks line.
- Star Wars: A detail-packed Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle, a recognizable craft from the franchise with clear appeal for Mandalorian fans.
The sets are open for pre-order now, with launches rolling out across both US and UK markets, so exact timing and availability can differ by region.
Why this July wave stands out
What makes this drop notable is its breadth. A clumsy movie cat speaks to fans riding the wave of KPop Demon Hunters popularity. The classic cars target hobbyists who like intricate display models. The Smart Bricks additions extend Lego's steady push into interactive play that blends physical building with digital features. The Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle, meanwhile, leans into the enduring demand for Star Wars sets, a category that consistently sells.
Spreading releases across a fresh month is also a deliberate strategy. It paces collectors' spending and keeps a steady stream of reasons to return to the range, rather than dropping everything at once. For builders tracking what is worth their money, the variety here means there is something for both casual fans and dedicated collectors.
Should you pre-order?
If a specific character or vehicle is already on your wishlist, pre-ordering early is the surest way to secure popular kits before they sell out. Hyped tie-in sets in particular can move quickly, and waiting risks paying inflated resale prices later. Because the wave is split across US and UK launches, it is worth confirming which storefront lists the set you want, since release timing can vary between regions.
That said, there is no harm in waiting if you are undecided. Reviews and in-hand build impressions often surface shortly after launch, giving you a clearer sense of whether a set's piece count, design and play features justify the price.
