Welcome to May (for those who need a calendar check), which brings another exciting wave of new LEGO sets ready to trade for your paycheck. This month primarily celebrates Star Wars Day (May the Fourth) with galactic releases, though several other noteworthy sets are launching too - plus fresh preorders for upcoming builds. Let's explore.

LEGO Mario Kart Launching May 15

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

While most LEGO Mario sets cater to younger builders, my personal favorites are the detailed adult-oriented builds like the Mario & Yoshi set or Piranha Plant. This kart-riding Mario releases May 15, just ahead of Nintendo Switch 2's June 5 launch alongside Mario Kart World.

New LEGO Star Wars Collection Arrives

Multiple Star Wars sets hit shelves May 1-4:

• Chopper (C1-10P) Astromech Droid
• Brick-Built Star Wars Logo
• Character Helmets (Kylo Ren, Jango Fett, AT-AT Driver)
• Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle
• Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship (May 4)
• Various BrickHeadz figures
• Rebel U-Wing Starfighter

The Firespray-Class Starship takes center stage among these May the Fourth celebrations, though every set delivers impressive builds.

LEGO Avengers: Endgame Final Battle Releases

Relive Marvel's climactic battle with this set featuring key heroes (Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther), an oversized Thanos figure, and Ant-Man's giant mech.

LEGO Botanicals: Petite Sunny Bouquet Debuts

Perfect for Mother's Day (May 11) or spring decor, this sunny floral arrangement continues LEGO's popular botanicals line.

LEGO Art: Keith Haring Releases May 15

This adult-oriented set recreates the pop artist's signature dancing figures with five instructional booklets for group building. Finished pieces mount on walls or display via included stands.
