Beyond the ten BrickHeadz sets, LEGO is planning price increases for three larger versions of classic minifigures, including the Santa (40820) and Racing Driver (40819). These are expected to go up from $54.99 to $59.99 – a price increase of about 9%. All 13 of these price changes are reportedly scheduled for January 1. It’s currently unknown if these changes will only affect prices in the U.S., or if other countries will also see increases. LEGO has often adjusted prices differently in various regions due to things like taxes and exchange rates, so a U.S.-only change seems most probable. The source of this information, carter_bricks04, hasn’t given a reason for these potential price hikes.

LEGO Group

With LEGO planning significant price increases starting January 1st, many are wondering if prices will continue to rise throughout 2026. While there’s no confirmation of further increases right now, some of LEGO’s most popular sets launching in 2026 will likely cost more than similar sets in the past, especially considering how many pieces they contain. This is mainly because LEGO is introducing ‘Smart Bricks’ – bricks with sensors, lights, and speakers – and the first sets using this technology will be part of the new Pokémon line in 2026. Though announced last year, these Smart Bricks haven’t been widely available yet.
