Twenty-five years after that crass, yet lovable green ogre first stomped onto the big screen, LEGO has officially announced its first-ever Shrek-themed sets. Hey now, Shrek\u2019s an all-star.<\/p>\n

The Swamp Has Never Looked Better<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LEGO is celebrating the Shrek franchise\u2019s 25th anniversary with a lineup of sets that fans have been begging for. The centerpiece of the collection is Shrek\u2019s Swamp, a detailed, buildable recreation of the iconic muddy homestead you\u2019ve seen in every film. It comes with the crooked little house, the \u201cBeware Ogre\u201d sign, the outhouse\u2026 the whole deal. Puss in Boots even makes a cameo in Minifig form.<\/p>\n

Alongside the swamp build, LEGO is also releasing character-focused BrickHeadz sets featuring Shrek, Gingy, and Donkey. Seeing Donkey rendered in LEGO brick form is probably something you didn\u2019t know you needed until right now.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability<\/p>\n

This collection is squarely aimed at the generation that grew up with Shrek in theaters and has since graduated to buying things like LEGO sets for their desks and shelves (instead of their floors). These aren\u2019t kids\u2019 builds. The swamp set is especially set firmly in the \u201cdisplay piece\u201d category.<\/p>\n

That said, if you\u2019ve got little ones who are just discovering the magic of Far Far Away, building these together sounds like a pretty great weekend plan, especially with the BrickHeadz.<\/p>\n

As far as pricing goes:<\/p>\n

Pre-orders for both sets are now live on LEGO\u2019s website with a shipping date of June 1, 2026, timed to coincide with the anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n

LEGO is Finally a Believer<\/p>\n

When LEGO\u2019s pop culture sets get the IP right, they really get it right. And Shrek, a franchise that has somehow only grown more beloved with time, looks like a natural fit for the brick treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a die-hard collector, a nostalgic millennial, or just someone who wants Donkey on their desk, dive into the swamp now to secure your pre-order!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 is apparently the year that LEGO finally gives Shrek his moment in the brick-built spotlight.
