LEGO 2027 rumours: Hello Kitty official, Dragon Ball cross-checked, Pokémon single-source — how to tell them apart

Three levels, not two

• Confirmed: LEGO announced it (press release, Shop page, official teaser).
• Cross-checked: two independent outlets, each with its own source, say the same thing.
• Single source: one origin. Even relayed by three sites, it remains a single source.

Hello Kitty: the licence is official, the sets aren't

On October 6, 2026, Stonewars relayed LEGO's announcement of a Sanrio and Hello Kitty theme for 2027. That's a fact. But the announcement contains no set, no reference, no month, no price. Hoth Bricks' rumour page even has an empty Hello Kitty section. A release month already circulating would be rumour, not announcement.

Dragon Ball: a cross-checked wave, moving prices

The licence is officially opened by the 11390 Shenron (€139.99, Insiders access on November 1). Beyond that, Hoth Bricks and Stonewars list the same wave of references 72361 to 72368 for April 2027: Goku vs Raditz, Arrival on Namek, Z Fighters vs Saiyans, Porunga, Frieza's Spaceship, then three references without detail. Two outlets, matching lists: cross-checked.

Pokémon: three relays, one origin

Three references are circulating: 72183 Poké Ball, 72184 Charmander, 72185 Snorlax. Stonewars (October 9), Hoth Bricks and @today_brick (October 7) cover them. But the only origin cited, by Stonewars, is an Instagram account, @unibricks. Three relays of the same leak don't make a cross-check.

And the rumour already contradicts itself: the Snorlax is at €129.99 in Stonewars' text, €139.99 at Hoth Bricks. Stonewars writes "March 2027" in its text and February in its tables. These figures are an example of divergence, not information.

Three questions before believing it

• Who said it first? If every article points to the same account, it's single-source.
• Do two independent sources give the same figure? Piece counts and references often match, prices rarely.
• Has the figure moved? A price that changes from week to week isn't a price yet.

My take

Rumours are part of the fun of collecting, and some are right: the Venice one had the right piece count 35 days before the reveal. But a rumoured price isn't something to calculate with. Note the references you care about, wait for the announcement, and be wary of a figure that appears everywhere on the same day: it's often just one figure, copied.
