Ready for a gallant adventure in bricks? BlueBrixx has landed an exclusive European partnership that'll have AFOL collectors shouting "By Toutatis!" The German brick company announced they're bringing Asterix and Obelix to life with an ambitious 25-set collection launching in late 2026.

This isn't just another licensing deal. For BlueBrixx, it's a statement of intent. The company has navigated a turbulent period following legal disputes with LEGO® over certain set designs, leading to an agreement that required them to retire a number of products. Rather than retreat, they appear to be doubling down on original licensed territory. The partnership with Les Éditions Albert René to produce an official Asterix collection signals a company that's building its future one licence at a time, literally.

The rollout sounds epic: twelve sets hit shelves in Q4 2026, followed by thirteen more in early 2027. Each set targets grown-up fans who appreciate complex builds over simple play sets. Can BlueBrixx capture Obelix's distinctive curves and Asterix's iconic moustache in brick form? The challenge lies in nailing those character proportions that make these Gauls instantly recognisable. (Spoiler: those rounded helmets are going to require some very clever part usage.)

Timing couldn't be more perfect. The brick launch coincides with "Asterix: The Kingdom of Nubia" hitting cinemas on December 3, 2026. The franchise keeps expanding too, with Belantis theme park in Leipzig transforming into the first Asterix park outside France by 2030. The collection will continue growing all the way to the brand's 70th anniversary in 2029. That's a lot of shelf space to plan for.
What makes this release particularly exciting? BlueBrixx promises detailed printed minifigures, showing real commitment to getting the character likenesses right. The fan-made LEGO® Ideas projects shown in this article give a fantastic sense of what's possible when talented designers tackle this IP, but the actual BlueBrixx sets remain under wraps for now. When official imagery drops, you'll find it here first.

Will these Gallic warriors conquer your display shelf? With 25 sets planned and a licensing deal built on solid legal ground, the indomitable village may soon find its most brick-built home yet.
When will BlueBrixx Asterix sets be available?
The first twelve sets launch in Q4 2026, with thirteen additional sets following in Q1 2027. The complete 25-set collection will roll out through 2029.
Are these sets designed for children or adults?
BlueBrixx specifically targets adult collectors with these sets, focusing on complex building techniques and authentic details rather than simple play features.
Will the sets include printed minifigures?
Yes, BlueBrixx promises elaborately printed minifigures to capture the distinctive look of Asterix, Obelix, and other characters from the series.
How does this relate to the new Asterix movie?
The brick collection launches alongside "Asterix: Das Königreich Nubien," which premieres in cinemas on December 3, 2026, creating a well-timed media moment for the franchise.
