One of the best parts of being a Lego fan is that it's almost guaranteed that at some point, one of your non-Lego interests will be plastic brick-ified.
May's newest Lego sets are proof of exactly that: there are Toy Story sets (ahead of the fifth installment's release next month), a Lewis Hamilton helmet for F1 fans, a Cristiano Ronaldo set ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and some adorable additions to the Botanicals line.

You can find them below, along with more of the best releases from the past few months, including Smart Play Star Wars-themed sets, the first-ever Lego Pokémon collaboration, the Lego Game Boy, and a gorgeous Lego-fied Claude Monet painting that I'm legitimately tempted to buy every time I update this list.

Lego Botanicals Rocking Plants
Look at how much fun they're having!!!Credit: Lego
Last year, Lego launched the Happy Plants set that was so cute, it made Mashable's Timothy Werth want to befriend the two little planters. Considering the continued adorable appearance of the next iteration, we imagine Werth will be looking for more pals in these Rocking Plants.

Lego Disney Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride
The briiiccccckkkk.Credit: Lego
There are plenty of iconic aliens out there, but I would argue the little green guys from Toy Story sit in at least at least in the top five, if not top three, of all time iconic extraterrestrials. Factor in the Pizza Planet branding, the coin slot for the ride, and you have an excellent Lego set.

This 349-piece set stands at just over seven inches tall, making it the perfect balance of a statement piece that doesn't threaten to take up your entire bookshelf.

One thing about Lego is that it's going to keep Lord of the Rings fans fed, but not exactly on the cheap. Out of the five LotR sets available, Sauron's Helmet is the only one less than $100, clocking in at $69.99. That lower price point isn't a sacrifice on size — the 538-piece set stands at over a foot tall, making it plenty viable as a statement piece.

For a year-round pop of color, Lego introduced the Flower Wall — it's also the only set on our list that's available for purchase immediately (without a preorder period). At $89.99, it is one of the pricier Botanicals sets (though it's also one of the bigger ones).

Star Wars fans aren't just getting the debut of a new type of Lego, but they're also getting relative affordability (in Lego terms, at least): the former two sets are below $100, with the latter set costing $159.99, and coming with the greatest number of Smart Bricks, Smart Minifigs, and Smart Tags.

On both fronts, the latest addition — the Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape — is no exception.
