Have you ever gotten excited about a new LEGO set… only to immediately start wondering what LEGO is releasing next?

New reveals, rumors, leaks, retirement lists, and upcoming releases—it feels like there’s always something new around the corner.

So are LEGO fans becoming too obsessed with what’s next?

In Episode 59 of The Hidden Bricks, we’re talking about how constantly looking ahead has changed the way we experience the LEGO hobby—from following upcoming releases and rumors to FOMO, retiring sets, wish lists, and deciding what we’re buying next.

We’re also getting into whether knowing about sets months before they release adds to the excitement or takes away some of the surprise, how social media and LEGO content influence what we want, and whether we sometimes spend more time thinking about future sets than enjoying the LEGO we already have.

But looking forward to new LEGO is also part of the fun. Following reveals, making wish lists, and getting excited with the community can be a huge part of the hobby.

So where’s the balance?

Do YOU think LEGO fans are too focused on what’s coming next? Or is looking ahead part of what makes the hobby exciting?
