The last and only time a LEGO set visited Hobbiton was back in 2012, with set 79003: An Unexpected Gathering, which was based on the Hobbit trilogy.

60474: F1 Grid With VCARB & Sauber Race Cars Review
On the eve of the 2025 Formula 1 season’s first race, it’s the perfect time to take a look at one last LEGO® F1 set.

Although they will be joined by Cadillac in the 2026 season. Haas has competed in every F1 season since 2016 but has failed to achieve any major wins.

Although most of the LEGO® Marvel sets take inspiration from Marvel Cinematic Universe, occasionally they go beyond the MCU with what are seemingly random Marvel sets.
