December 2025: Promotions Over New Releases
December 2025 focuses on holiday gift-with-purchase promotions rather than major new set launches. Most December releases already launched in earlier waves (August-October 2025).
Expected December Promotions
- Advent Calendars: Star Wars, City, Friends, Harry Potter (already available)
- Holiday GWP sets: Free exclusive mini-sets with qualifying purchases
- Double VIP points events: Earn 10% back instead of 5% during select periods
- Retiring set clearance: Last chance to buy sets discontinuing end of year
Black Friday & Cyber Monday Fall 2025
Black Friday (November 28-30) and Cyber Monday (December 1) are the biggest shopping events of fall 2025 for LEGO fans.
What to Expect
- Discounts: 15-30% off across most themes (Icons, Star Wars, Technic, Botanical)
- Exclusive GWPs: Free sets with qualifying purchases ($100+ typically)
- VIP early access: 24-48 hours ahead of general sale
- Retiring set focus: Deep discounts on sets discontinuing in 2025
For a complete breakdown of Black Friday deals, see our dedicated LEGO Black Friday 2025 guide.
Don't wait until Black Friday for sets confirmed to retire in late 2025 (Titanic, Colosseum, Daily Bugle). These will sell out before the sale, and early November discounts may be your last chance at retail pricing.
Fall 2025 by Theme
Star Wars
No major new Star Wars sets in November/December 2025. Most 2025 releases launched in January-August. Focus on Black Friday discounts for existing sets like the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), AT-AT (75313), and Razor Crest.
Icons & Architecture
The Tropical Aquarium (10366) is the flagship Icons release for fall. Architecture fans should watch for potential year-end releases (historically LEGO drops 1-2 Architecture sets in Q4).
Creator 3-in-1
Creator sets typically release in January/August waves. Fall 2025 offerings focus on existing inventory with Black Friday/Cyber Monday discounts.
Ideas
The Goonies is the only confirmed Ideas release for fall 2025. Ideas sets are fan-designed and typically launch 2-3 times per year. Next wave expected January 2026.
Seasonal & Holiday
Advent calendars (Star Wars, Harry Potter, City, Friends) are available now through December. These are annual releases and retire December 31, making them seasonal collectibles.
Investment & Collectibility
Which fall 2025 sets are worth buying for value retention?
- The Goonies Ideas set: High collectibility due to 1980s nostalgia + Ideas sets typically appreciate 10-30% annually after retirement
- Tropical Aquarium (10366): Large piece count + unique mechanical features = strong display value and resale potential
- Retiring sets on Black Friday: Titanic, Colosseum, Daily Bugle, Diagon Alley—all will see 2-5x price increases within 12 months of retirement
LEGO Ideas sets have the best track record for appreciation. The Home Alone set (21330), retiring late 2025, has already increased 40% in value on secondary markets before official retirement. Buy sealed sets and store them properly (cool, dry, away from sunlight).
