We all thought it was safe to assume LEGO DREAMZzz is over, with no new sets this summer. However, its death was greatly exaggerated: a new collaboration with DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon and Universal's Fast & Furious has been announced!
Details are sparse right now; we don't know whether this is a full series or a special, or if any related products are planned for the future. Regardless, this all seems pretty random to me! You can watch the teaser video and read the synopsis after the break...
LEGO Fortnite’s final summer wave set is the Rave Cave: a party venue and massive roller coaster built upon a derelict snowtop command base.
This large location-based model is a first for the Fortnite theme, differing from the creature, sculpture or playsets in the rest of the catalogue. The model is clearly play-focused, but primarily invests parts into the exterior shaping, rather than the vast scale or numerous details of the venue’s interior.

BMW has only appeared once before in Speed Champions, which is rather surprising given the brand's popularity. However, that scarcity makes 77263 BMW M3 (E30) even more compelling, as there is definite pressure to replicate the classic BMW M3 accurately.
The designer has done an excellent job in some regards, employing lots of creative building techniques and avoiding the need for stickers as much as possible, despite the car's complex livery. However, there are certain issues with the bodywork shape, which is not a surprise given the M3's subtle rounded features.
42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar is the sixth in the series of Technic Ultimate Cars that began in 2016 with 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Each one has improved on its predecessors, and this is the most sophisticated yet. The car's 9-speed transmission and Triplex suspension have been replicated faithfully, as has the vehicle's intriguingly-named 'ghost-mode' party trick.
First released in 1981, Nintendo’s Donkey Kong is a hugely successful arcade platforming game at the root of a classic video game franchise family tree. Based on the suspiciously familiar ‘giant monkey kidnaps damsel in distress’ premise, it was originally created by Nintendo to make use of unsold cabinets for the unsuccessful Radar Scope game.
This LEGO model is a celebration of retro gaming history and includes more than one simple, yet satisfying, mechanism. Unlike 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade, you can actually ‘play’ the game—but in return for being able to use the buttons to control the protagonist, there are some unfortunate compromises in other areas.
