LEGO fans have plenty to get excited about this Easter, with the brand unveiling a range of new sets to suit all kinds of builders. From a Ferrari inspired by childhood dreams to beloved characters from Monsters, Inc., there’s something for both younger fans and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
Leading the line-up is the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car set, priced at £22.99. Aimed at builders aged nine and above, this 339-piece model captures the sleek, cab-forward design of the real-life supercar and includes a minifigure driver dressed in their very own Ferrari racing suit and helmet.
Builders can use the LEGO Builder app for an interactive experience, with 3D instructions that allow you to zoom in and rotate the model as you go. For those with a passion for motorsport, there’s also the Speed Champions Audi Revolut F1 Team R26 Race Car at £22.99, as well as the LEGO Icons Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher set, priced at £79.99.
If cars aren’t your thing, LEGO has plenty of alternatives on offer with one standout being the all new Monsters, Inc. set featuring Sulley, Mike and Boo, available for £19.99. Designed for ages 10 and up, this 303-piece build brings the much-loved characters to life, reports the Express.
The website states fans can ‘recreate Monsters, Inc. scenes with the cherished characters‘, making this an excellent compact film-themed present idea for girls and boys. The collection features the three brick-constructed character figures, alongside three display stands.

Also available is the Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny figure for £34.99, which is suitable for ages 14 and over and contains 605 pieces. Once finished, builders will have a bust of Bugs Bunny mounted on a buildable baseplate. The creation can be personalised by adjusting the movable head, ears and fingers, and the set also comes with a bee and spring toy flower.
Rounding off the selection is the LEGO Botanicals Sunflower Bouquet for £54.99. Aimed at adults aged 18 and over, it comprises 686 pieces and the bouquet features one sunflower bud, three sunflowers beginning to bloom and two large fully opened sunflowers.
The set boasts adjustable petals and stems, along with four eucalyptus stems for ‘added authenticity’. Once assembled, builders will have a ‘gorgeous’ floral display to show off, making it an ideal gift for any plant enthusiasts.
For a more budget-friendly option, Amazon stocks the Flower Garden Building Toys set for £11.90, produced by the brand DOTDROPTRY. Suitable for children aged three and over, it features interchangeable pieces, allowing kids to create ‘hundreds of possible flower arrangements’, according to the listing.
Alternatively, Debenhams offers the CaDa Master Italian Super Racing Car set – a investment piece at £214.99. This enables builders to construct the ‘iconic Italian supercar’ using 3,187 detailed pieces using a ”challenging building experience’ with the finished result being an impressive 1:8 scale model.
Customers have shared glowing feedback about the LEGO sets. One reviewer commented on the Ferrari car: “LEGO was my favourite toy as a child and I was looking for a new hobby. Why not try a childhood dream. Loved building this and have ordered two more models.”
Another wrote: “Very solid build and looks great when fully put together. Speed Champions has always been a great theme and this set further shows that.”
One purchaser knocked off a star for the car, noting that while “this was my first Speed Champions set and I was impressed with the level of detail, especially around the rear diffuser and exhausts”, they did find some of the stickers somewhat fiddly to apply.”
On the whole, however, most buyers were delighted with their purchases. One remarked about the Monsters, Inc. figures: “I love Monster Inc., one of my favourite Pixar films, when I saw this, I had to pick it up. Love it!”
