LEGO has officially confirmed six new One Piece-based sets for release in August 2026. This collection expands the offering beyond the already announced Gomu-Gomu Fruit, focusing on recreating iconic moments and locations from the series. Prices range between $29.99 and $179.99, with a great variation in pieces, from the modest Dr. Hiriluk's hideout to the massive Garp's Marine ship.
Modular design and construction techniques in licensed sets 🧱
The range features an interesting technical approach by adapting organic scenarios and ships to a modular construction system. Sets like Drum Castle or Garp's ship, with 1705 pieces, will require structural solutions to achieve stability and appropriate scale for the minifigures. The inclusion of custom elements, such as Chopper's fruit or Smoker's smoke effects, shows the development of specific pieces to capture the essence of the series in LEGO format.
Preparing the wallet for the era of pirate bricks 💰
With prices sailing up to nearly $180, it seems LEGO has understood that One Piece is not only the treasure of the Pirate King, but also that of adult fans. Now it's time to decide if rebuilding the Marine Ship is more important than paying the electricity bill. At least the Dorry and Brogy battles in brick format promise to be less destructive to the living room than a real giant fight.
