Whether it’s the high seas or rivers of chocolate, Lego’s new sets for September are big on boats.
Thought Lego would take a break from the realm of big boats after it launched One Piece as part of its blockbuster August? Well, thanks to last week’s surprise announcement of a new Pirates of the Caribbean set, we can think again. And yet, it’s not the only boat on the horizon for this month.
After going all out for its big summer release wave in August, things are definitely a bit quieter in September for Lego. But that doesn’t mean big things aren’t coming: the new Black Pearl and a funky Charlie and the Chocolate Factory set bring the boats, while a whole new wave of Wicked sets prepares us for For Good‘s arrival in a couple months. And that’s even before you get into the Spider-Verse swinging in for Lego’s next wave of Collectible Minifigures!
Check out our breakdown below for all the must-get Lego releases this month.Lego Batman Arkham Asylum
A grand upgrade on the classic Arkham Asylum playset from years ago, this nearly 3,000-piece set comes with a whopping 16 minifigures, from Batman and stalwart allies Batwing, Batwoman, and Robin to Arkham Guards and a whole host of deadly inmates like Joker, Harley, Killer Croc, Penguin, Poison Ivy, and more to fill out the myriad wings of the asylum—which itself is jam-packed with Easter eggs and references to Batman history.
