The verdict

This is a five-figure BrickHeadz pack that hands you Woody, Buzz, Jessie and two aliens for forty dollars, and I had a genuinely good time snapping it together on the couch one evening.

Woody's brick-built star and vest are the detail that got me, and Jessie's built-up look holds up nicely next to him. The catch is that longtime fans will spot where the designs got flatter than the older Toy Story BrickHeadz, so it lands as a warm, cheerful set rather than a definitive one. If you love these characters and want them lined up on a shelf, it delivers.

Best for: Toy Story fans who want the whole main gang as a quick, cheerful display set

The full review

What it is

Opening this one felt like a tiny reunion. You build all five of the Toy Story regulars, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the two little green aliens, each as its own blocky BrickHeadz figure standing between six and nine centimetres tall. The thing that got me was Woody. His sheriff star and his cowhide vest are actually built out of bricks rather than just printed on, and when he came together on the stand he looked properly like Woody, hat and all. Jessie gets the same treatment with her outfit built up in layers, and side by side the two of them are the strongest part of the set. For forty dollars you are getting the full core gang, which is a lot of familiar faces per box.

The catch

I will be straight with you about where it wobbles. This is a LEGO exclusive, so you are paying LEGO's own price with no discount hunting, and if you already own the older Toy Story BrickHeadz you may feel like you are buying sideways rather than up. Buzz took the biggest hit for me. He is now basically a single printed tile across his spacesuit front, where the Toy Story 4 version had more of that chest depth built in, so he reads a little plain next to Woody. The aliens are the other soft spot. The designers had to use the standard round BrickHeadz eyes on faces that really do not want standard eyes, and even they admitted it was tricky, so the little guys land closer to odd than cute. None of this is a dealbreaker, but it is the honest gap between this set and the versions collectors already have on the shelf.

Who it's for

Here is who I would point toward it. If you love Toy Story and you want the whole main lineup together in one go, without chasing four separate older sets, this is the easy, affordable way to do it and it looks cheerful all lined up. It is also a genuinely relaxing evening build if you want something low-effort and rewarding. I would think twice, though, if you already own 40552 and 40553, because you may find the older Buzz and Woody have a bit more personality baked in. New to Toy Story BrickHeadz? Come on in. Already deep in the collection? Look closely at the photos before you commit.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is classic BrickHeadz comfort food. You work one character at a time, stacking the familiar cube body and then layering on the details that make each toy recognisable, and because there are five of them you get five satisfying little finishes in one sitting. It runs about one to two hours total, so it is the kind of thing you can knock out in an evening without needing the instructions open across two days. Nothing here is technically demanding, which is exactly the point of the theme, but the brick-built accents on Woody and Jessie give your hands a bit more to do than the printed-tile figures.

The parts highlight is a small one that made me smile. Each alien uses three of the round BrickHeadz eye pieces instead of the usual two, a genuinely unusual little quirk you do not see in most BrickHeadz. Buzz and the aliens lean on printed tiles to carry their outfits, while Woody's sheriff star and vest and Jessie's costume are done in actual brick geometry, which is where the value of that 528-piece count really shows. It is a decent parts haul for the price, and the printed elements plus the extra alien eyes are the bits collectors will want to fish out of the box first.

Fun facts

01Released 1 June 2026 as a LEGO exclusive, sold only through LEGO.com, LEGO Brand Stores and LEGOLAND rather than general retail.
02Each of the two aliens is built with three BrickHeadz eye pieces instead of the standard two, an unusual choice for the theme.
03It packs five characters into one box (Woody, Buzz, Jessie and two aliens), where earlier Toy Story BrickHeadz like 40552 and 40553 split the gang across separate sets.
04Woody stands over 9 cm tall while the aliens are just over 6 cm, so the finished lineup has a nice height stagger on a shelf.
