Shenron the wish-granting dragon from Dragon Ball, shown here as a Funko Pop figure, not the LEGO set

LEGO Is Finally Making Dragon Ball. The First Set Is a $200 Shenron.

🐉 LEGO Leaks

Last updated: August 1, 2026

LEGO has never made a Dragon Ball set. Not one, in forty years of the anime existing. That is apparently about to change, and the way they are doing it tells you they are not messing around.

According to leaks, the first ever LEGO Dragon Ball set is 11390 Shenron, a 1,760-piece LEGO Icons display model of the wish-granting dragon himself, priced at $199.99 and arriving in November 2026. And it is not a one-off. It is reportedly the test balloon for a full Dragon Ball theme landing across 2027.

Here is everything that has leaked, and what it means if you have been waiting on this one for a couple of decades.

Shenron the wish-granting dragon from Dragon Ball, shown as a Funko Pop figure, not the LEGO set

This is Shenron, but this is not the LEGO set. It is a Funko figure, shown so you know what we are talking about. LEGO has not released official images of 11390, and we do not post leaked ones. The moment LEGO reveals the real thing, this page gets the real photos.

Before we dig in. This is unconfirmed, leak-tier information from the LEGO rumor community, not an official LEGO announcement. Set numbers, prices, contents and dates can all still change. LEGO has released no official images, and we are not posting leaked ones. The photos below are existing sets shown for scale and comparison. A couple of links are Amazon affiliate links, only for sets you can buy today.

The Short Version

11390 Shenron is rumored as the first ever LEGO Dragon Ball set: LEGO Icons, 1,760 pieces, $199.99, November 2026.
It reportedly includes a young Goku minifigure, the seven Dragon Balls, and the Flying Nimbus.
A full Dragon Ball theme is rumored for 2027, roughly nine sets from about $5 to $150, focused on the early Dragon Ball Z sagas and using a lot of new molds.
The timing lines up with the anime’s 40th anniversary. The Dragon Ball anime premiered in February 1986.
Nothing here is official. LEGO has confirmed none of it.

What Actually Leaked

The headline set is 11390 Shenron, and the details are unusually specific for a leak this early:

Spec Rumored detail
Set number 11390
Theme LEGO Icons (18+ display)
Pieces ~1,760
Price $199.99
Release November 2026
Includes Young Goku minifigure, Dragon Balls, Flying Nimbus

A brick-built Shenron is a genuinely smart first move. He is the single most recognizable image in Dragon Ball, he does not need a scene around him to make sense, and a coiled dragon is exactly the kind of sculptural build LEGO Icons does well. You do not need to know a thing about power levels to look at that shelf and know what it is.


The Bigger Story: A Full Dragon Ball Theme in 2027

One $200 display set would be notable on its own. What makes this actually significant is what is reportedly behind it.

Leaks point to a dedicated LEGO Dragon Ball theme launching across 2027, with a first wave of roughly nine sets ranging from about $5 up to $150. The wave is said to focus on the early Dragon Ball Z sagas, and notably it is described as using a lot of new molds, which is LEGO-speak for taking a license seriously rather than reusing whatever is in the parts bin.

That reframes Shenron entirely. It is not a novelty. It is LEGO testing whether the Dragon Ball audience shows up before committing to a full theme, the same way a big Icons display piece often front-runs a licensed line.

If you have watched LEGO handle One Piece over the past two years, this pattern will look familiar. Anime licences have gone from something LEGO would not touch to one of the more interesting corners of their lineup.

LEGO One Piece The Going Merry Pirate Ship

LEGO’s One Piece line proved anime licences work for them. Dragon Ball looks like the next one. This is the current Going Merry, not the leak.


What $199.99 Actually Buys in LEGO Icons

It is fair to flinch at $200 for a display dragon. So it is worth looking at what that money buys elsewhere in the Icons range right now.

The closest live comparison is How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless (10375), which is $69.99. That is a brick-built dragon display model in the same Icons format, so it is the fairest thing on the shelf to hold Shenron up against.

LEGO Icons How to Train Your Dragon Toothless set 10375

Icons Toothless (10375), $69.99 and available now. A brick-built dragon in the same display format Shenron is rumored to use. Not the leak, just the closest thing you can actually buy.

At roughly 1,760 pieces for $199.99, Shenron works out to about 11 cents a piece. That is normal Icons pricing, neither a bargain nor a gouge. What you are paying for is scale and a first-ever licence, and first-wave licensed sets rarely discount hard in their opening months.

If you want an anime centerpiece before November and $200 is not happening, the One Piece Going Merry (75639, $139.99) is the other big anime display LEGO currently sells.


The Timing Is Not an Accident

The Dragon Ball anime premiered in February 1986. That makes 2026 its fortieth anniversary, and a November launch drops a $200 collector centerpiece into the exact middle of holiday buying.

We have seen this playbook before, and recently. LEGO ran a contest literally called “Build Your Nostalgia: 90s Throwback” and turned the winner into The X-Files set. Anniversary years are when licences get made, because the fanbase is already primed and the press writes itself.

Dragon Ball hitting forty, LEGO needing a new anime pillar, and a holiday window all landing together is not a coincidence. It is a plan.


StudDad’s Take

Full disclosure, same as always. StudSon is not a Dragon Ball kid and neither am I, so nobody in this house is waiting on this one for sentimental reasons. I will probably still pick it up, because the first set of a brand new theme is always a fun thing to own. There is something about a launch set that later sets never quite have. But I do not need to be a fan to see why this matters. Dragon Ball is one of a small handful of franchises that genuinely spans generations. There are parents who watched Goku on Toonami after school now watching Super with their own kids. That is exactly the overlap LEGO has been chasing with everything from Icons to the 18+ label.

The set itself looks like the right call too. A coiled Shenron with the Dragon Balls at the base is the one image that reads instantly to a fan and still looks like an interesting sculpture to someone who has never seen an episode. That is a hard balance and it is why this will sell.

My honest advice at this stage: nothing to do yet. It is November, it is unconfirmed, and there is no pre-order to beat. What I would watch for is whether LEGO pairs the launch with a gift with purchase, because that is when the buy-day-one math changes. We will update this page the moment anything firms up.
