Some of the most popular new LEGO sets released in June are already in high demand and currently on backorder at the official LEGO Store. The highly sought-after Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter Hogwarts Express book nooks, along with the interactive Minifigure Vending Machine, are all sold out for immediate shipping. However, the Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook remains available for purchase, though it may have limited stock.
These book nook sets are perfect for adding a creative touch to your bookshelf, blending seamlessly with your favorite novels while showcasing iconic scenes from beloved franchises. The Minifigure Vending Machine stands out as a functional build—it actually works like a real vending machine. Insert a coin, turn the knob, and a minifigure inside a plastic capsule drops out. We assembled the set and found it to be a "fun and satisfying build" once completed, making it a standout display piece for any LEGO fan.

If you're interested in any of these three sets, be prepared for a wait. The Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Book Nook has the earliest estimated ship date of July 11, 2025, and is limited to three per customer. The Minifigure Vending Machine and Sherlock Holmes Book Nook both list a 60-day shipping window, but actual dates vary—adding the vending machine to your cart shows an expected ship date of September 18, while the Sherlock Holmes set currently has no specific date listed. The vending machine is limited to five per customer, and the Sherlock Holmes nook to three, though most collectors will likely only need one.
Answer | See ResultsBoth the Minifigure Vending Machine and the Sherlock Holmes Book Nook are recommended for builders aged 18 and up due to their complexity and detailed assembly.
