The remaining sets in the Harry Potter lineup are small brick-built book-themed playsets that open to reveal a Hogwarts class - Charms, Herbology, Potions, and Transfiguration - in progress. Each set costs $29.99, and can be ordered here.

LEGO Police Station

"Escape into a delicious world of deceit, detection and donuts with this LEGO® Police Station (10278) model. Enjoy hours of immersive building as you create the three-floor police station. See the brick-built staircase wind through detailed floors that can be removed to let you explore inside. Next door is a donut shop brimming with treats and, to the other side, a newspaper kiosk."

LEGO Marvel

LEGO 2021 Marvel Sets: LEGO's new lineup of Marvel sets is led by the 76175 Attack on the Spider Lair set (466 pieces), which can be ordered here for $69.99. It's  billed as "the first LEGO version of the superhero’s awesome HQ – part high-tech headquarters and part super-cool teenager’s room!" From the description:

"Even superheroes need to chill-out in their room sometimes. But only Spider-Man could have a room like this! With a computer, PlayStation, basketball hoop with ball shooter, skateboard with ramp, and a drinks area, it's the ultimate teenage den. But it's much more than that. It’s also the ultimate superhero headquarters, with Peter Parker´s camera, training equipment, motorbike, Iron Spider Suit, weapons and even its own jail – all of which come in very handy when the evil super villains Green Goblin and Venom force their way inside."
