About Halloween

Pumpkins in every shape

If one motif defines this theme, it is the pumpkin. Halloween Pumpkin (40697-1) from 2024 has 254 pieces, and 2026 brought Halloween Pumpkin Lantern (40872-1) with 323. Lanterns in general are popular: Colorful Lantern (40873-1), also from 2026, has 286 pieces. Animals feature too, with Halloween Owl (40497-1, 2021, 228 pieces) and Halloween Cat & Mouse (40570-1, 2022, 328 pieces). Scary Haunted Tree (40900-1) from 2026 adds 218 pieces of gnarled branches to the mix. On the whole the tone is more cosy than frightening, which keeps the sets suitable for younger builders.

From bucket to wreath

The theme goes back to 1998, and Halloween Bucket (3047-1) from that year still ranks among the largest sets at 256 pieces. The current record holder is far bigger: Halloween Wreath (40825-1) from 2025 has 617 pieces, close to twice the next set down. Between those two lie many smaller releases, as the theme counts 48 sets in total. With three of the eight largest sets released in 2026 alone, the theme is clearly still growing.

Autumn on the shelf

Most Halloween sets are compact enough to build in an evening and display through October, then pack away until next year. When that time comes, the parts list for each set helps you rebuild it without missing pieces. Group the pumpkin, the owl and the haunted tree together and you have a small autumn scene for a windowsill, and ‘What can I build?’ tells you which Halloween sets your own bricks could already make. Halloween sits alongside Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and Valentine within Seasonal, so it is easy to move on to the next occasion from there.
