There are a number of 2021 LEGO sets that are going to be released later this year but are already available for pre-order. While pre-ordered sets don’t get shipped until the actual release date (and you won’t be charged until then either), the benefit is that you don’t have to scramble to place an order when the set is available and risk getting the dreaded out of stock notification. You have the peace of mind that your order is already in, and LEGO will ship it as soon possible. Below is a list of all the sets currently available for pre-order that you can purchase at the Online LEGO Shop.
#10290 LEGO CREATOR PICKUP TRUCK: This set showed up a few days ago at the Online LEGO Shop without any official announcement. This is quite strange, as the large LEGO Creator Expert vehicles always used to get a special press-release. Anyhow, it features a generic 1950s American style vintage pickup truck (no license involved), designed especially for adult LEGO builders. It comes with a stepside bed, opening doors, hood, and tailgate and removable wooden side railings. There are also a bunch of accessories to create a seasonal display; a wheelbarrow with flowers and a watering can for spring, two wooden crates, tomatoes, carrots and a milk pail for summer, a crate with pumpkins for the fall, and a wreath and festive gift for winter. The vehicle measures over 5.5 in. (14 cm) high, 13 in. (33 cm) long and 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide. The set comes with 1,677 pieces and the price is $129.99. You can pre-order it today and it will ship from October 1st at the 18+ section of the Online LEGO Shop.
#10289 LEGO BOTANICAL COLLECTION BIRD OF PARADISE: We talked about this set already (see links at the end of this post), but to recap, it is the third set in the LEGO Botanical Collection (along with the #10280 LEGO Flower Bouquet and the #10281 LEGO Bonsai Tree. It features a brick-built version of a Bird of Paradise in a stylish black pot. It actually makes a really nice looking and unique house plant that you will never have to water (although you might want to dust it off from time to time). As a guide, the tallest leaf limb measures over 18 in. (46 cm) high and the flowerpot measures over 5 in. (13 cm) in diameter. The set comes with 1,173 pieces and the price is $99.99. You can pre-order it today and it will ship from August 1st at the 18+ section of the Online LEGO Shop.

I pre-ordered the pickup truck! I am so excited to have that set on display…I will need to put together a little tree to stick in the back around Christmas!
Haha! That’s a great idea! 😀
Same. So excited for the truck!
The truck is a must, but I also really like the alligator.
Wow, a lot of good choices there. I’m debating on getting the bad batch shuttle possibly. Darth Vader’s chamber is to Technic build for me. My thoughts are on the choice between Ninjago and Monkey Kid set.( I know that’s not in the article). It seems to me that the monkey kids sets seems a lot more under-the-radar than Ninjago. Ninjago has a large following. They had it for a very long time. I guess what I’m saying is that there have been a lot of things that have been under the radar and not focus so much on /or a large following for collecting for that matter. For example The Long Ranger sets we’re kind of under the radar or not too many people purchase them. Or should I say wasn’t as popular and had a short theme span like maybe 1 year and that’s it ( of course it was just one movie and you can make only so many sets . Just as an example. ) Other themes like Legend of Chima and Nexo knights we’re going strong in the first two seasons but kind of fizzled out on the last theme of there wave. If you look for these sets now they’re either hard to come by or very expensive to get( or both). So I guess it comes down to what interest you in particular (or me for that matter). So if you had a choice between Ninjago and the monkey kid sets which one would you pick and why. Feedback would be nice.
I love the Lone Ranger sets! Especially the train and the mine! As far as Ninjago vs. Monkie Kid, they are pretty similar in many ways, and they could also be combined. If you are not a hard-core collector of either of them, I would just go with whichever set meets your fancy. In general, Ninjago sets are cheaper than Monkie Kid sets, so that’s something else to consider.
Nobody has love for the plant? That’s my favorite. I love all the botanical sets. I even have the smaller ones with the roses and tulips.
I love the botanical sets, but have gotten frustrated by how quickly they sold out (especially the bouquet) and how hard it was to get one. I would like a second so I can have flowers in my office as well as at home. I gave up trying for the small set of roses as every time I got an email notification that it was back in stock, it was sold out already when I logged in. So, I’d love the botanical set, but I’m not getting my hopes up between price point and availability .
Thanks for the advice. I’m in the middle of a ninjago build – a-thon. I have most of the islanders sets and the Boulder blaster and the tournament of elements set. Plus Wu’s dragon and the Overlord dragon. I hope I don’t have a ninjago burnout. I’m leaning towards the next wave of Ninjago sets that’s coming out August 1st. Just because it would work with my other sets that I already have. The monkey kid sets are going to have to wait. Oh, I also have the ocean exploration base of which I’m going to change into the Ninjagos underwater base. Yes, I do know about the city wildlife rescue sets that are coming out to. I have to wait on those as well.
