LEGO has confirmed two new Sonic the Hedgehog sets for an August 1, 2026 release, both already available for pre-order at LEGO.com. Tails' Tornado-1 (set 77119) brings Tails' signature biplane to the theme at $29.99, while Shadow's Mech vs. G.U.N. Trooper (set 77120) gives Shadow the Hedgehog an articulated mech build at $49.99. Together, they add two more entries to a LEGO Sonic lineup that's already grown quickly since its debut earlier this year.
Both sets lean into character-specific vehicles rather than generic level builds, giving Sonic fans a reason to pick up pieces tied to a favorite character instead of a one-size-fits-all set. Shadow's set in particular stands out for its mech-and-motorcycle combo, a first for the LEGO Sonic theme so far.
This guide covers what's confirmed about both sets and which EVORETRO products make sense once the builds are finished and on your shelf.
According to LEGO's official product listings, both sets release August 1, 2026 with pre-orders already live.
Shadow's mech is articulated and can release Dark Rider, Shadow's motorcycle, as a separate buildable vehicle within the same set, giving it two distinct play and display configurations from one box.
These two sets follow LEGO's first wave of Sonic sets from earlier in 2026, which included 77117 Speedster Lightning and 77118 Silver's Car vs. Knuckles' Monster Truck, along with the smaller 30733 Badnik: Skorp polybag. Tails' Tornado-1 and Shadow's Mech continue the pattern of pairing a specific character with a signature vehicle rather than building out generic level environments.
Shadow's Mech vs. G.U.N. Trooper is the first LEGO Sonic set to combine an articulated mech with a separate release-able vehicle in the same build. That gives it more display flexibility than a typical single-vehicle set, since Shadow, the mech, and the Dark Rider motorcycle can all be posed and shown separately.
At 310 pieces and $29.99, Tails' Tornado-1 is a more approachable build than Shadow's set, and its red-and-yellow biplane with a stud shooter gives it a straightforward display piece for collectors who want a smaller addition to a growing Sonic shelf.
Both sets include distinct minifigures, Tails and Shadow, plus buildable characters like the Egg Chaser and G.U.N. Trooper. EVORETRO's LEGO mini-figurine display case gives these smaller pieces a dust-free, dedicated spot separate from the larger vehicle builds.
Since Tails' Tornado-1 and Shadow's Mech are different sizes and shapes, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers help keep both builds visible on the same shelf rather than crowding each other at a single level.
For collectors bringing these sets to a con or a friend's place, EVORETRO's aluminum miniatures display and carry case keeps finished builds and loose pieces secure in transit instead of risking damage in a bag.
To get ready for these LEGO Sonic sets' August 1 release, start with these:
Both Tails' Tornado-1 and Shadow's Mech vs. G.U.N. Trooper release August 1, 2026, with pre-orders already live at LEGO.com.
Tails' Tornado-1 has 310 pieces; Shadow's Mech vs. G.U.N. Trooper has 374 pieces.
Yes. The articulated mech can release Dark Rider, Shadow's motorcycle, as a separate buildable vehicle.
No. They follow an earlier 2026 wave that included Speedster Lightning, Silver's Car vs. Knuckles' Monster Truck, and the Badnik: Skorp polybag.
Tails' Tornado-1 and Shadow's Mech vs. G.U.N. Trooper give LEGO Sonic collectors two more character-focused builds to add to a growing theme, with Shadow's two-in-one mech and motorcycle giving it the most display flexibility so far. Whether you're picking up one set or both, having a display and storage plan ready before August 1 is the easiest way to keep your builds looking their best.
