The brick-building world is buzzing as LEGO kicks off its final stretch of 2025 with some of the year's most anticipated releases, even as the holiday shopping season reaches its peak. With November marking the unofficial start of LEGO's promotional frenzy, collectors and casual builders alike are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting month of launches, limited-time offers, and exclusive deals.
The Heavy Hitters Arriving This Month
The Goonies set is stealing the spotlight as November's marquee release. The
21363 The Goonies, a LEGO Ideas set featuring 2,912 pieces, launched on November 1st with exclusive early access for LEGO Insiders members. Priced at
$329.99 in the US, this nostalgic set brings the beloved 1985 film to life in brick form. Early buyers who purchase between November 1-7 also receive the
40773 The Walshes' Attic gift with purchase, which includes minifigures of Irving and Irene Walsh along with a printed Goonies tile.
Following close behind is the
10366 Tropical Aquarium, a massive 4,154-piece LEGO Icons set that arrived on November 13th. Retailing for
$479.99, this aquatic-themed build represents one of the larger releases of the month. Collectors who grab it during the early November 13-19 window unlock the
5009823 Fish Tank Filter & Fish Food bonus set, while LEGO Insiders can also redeem the
5009626 Icons Fish Tank for 2,500 points.
The Promotional Calendar You Need to Know
November isn't just about new releases—
LEGO is flooding the market with deals and limited-time offers that make this the prime shopping season for brick enthusiasts. The promotional calendar includes several key dates worth marking:
LEGO Insiders Weekend kicked off on November 22-23, 2025, featuring double Insider Points on all purchases, exclusive discounts, and new GWP launches. This pre-Black Friday event sets the stage for the bigger sales to come.
Black Friday sales officially begin on November 28, 2025, with Cyber Monday following on December 1st. While LEGO hasn't revealed all the specifics, expect substantial discounts on retiring sets and potentially another major set launch—last year's Black Friday surprise was the highly anticipated
10335 The Endurance, so collectors are speculating about what LEGO might unveil this year.
What's Coming Next
Beyond November,
LEGO has hinted at additional releases, including a mysterious Star Trek set that's "boldly going where it has not yet gone before." The
LEGO Icons Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D is confirmed for late November, with availability running from November 28 through December 1st.
The overall November lineup is notably lean compared to earlier months in 2025, but that's by design.
Most major holiday sets released earlier in the year, so November focuses on last-minute additions and promotional events rather than massive new launches. This strategy makes sense from a retail perspective—by November, many collectors have already completed their holiday shopping.
The Bottom Line
If you're a LEGO enthusiast, November 2025 is shaping up to be a critical month for both new acquisitions and scoring deals. Whether you're hunting for the Goonies set, diving into the Tropical Aquarium, or waiting for Black Friday discounts, the promotional calendar is packed with opportunities. The key is staying alert to LEGO's official announcements and keeping an eye on the Insiders rewards program for maximum value.
