LEGO revealed its first-ever Godzilla set today, Japan got two new Pokémon and Tamagotchi collectibles this week, and Wigglitz supersized its 3D-printed fidgets. Here are the five toy stories worth knowing on Nov. 3, 2026.
1. LEGO Ideas Godzilla (21375) Is the Largest LEGO Ideas Set Ever
LEGO announced the LEGO Ideas Godzilla set (21375) on Nov. 3. At 5,363 pieces it is the largest LEGO Ideas model ever made, and with its Heat Ray it stands over 27.5 inches (70 cm) tall. The set is rated 18+ and costs $449.99. It goes on sale Nov. 27 at LEGO.com/Godzilla and LEGO Stores. The model started as a fan design by Matthew Esposito (MattE720) that reached 10,000 supporter votes on the LEGO Ideas platform. From Nov. 27 to 30, while supplies last, buyers also get the 359-piece Logo and Footprint set (40888) as a gift with purchase.
Pros: A record-size display build; the fan-designed origin gives collectors a backstory; it comes with a launch-weekend gift.
Cons: $449.99 and rated 18+, so it is an adult collector piece rather than a kids' gift; it is sold through LEGO's own channels at launch, so we have no Amazon link.

2. Re-Ment Launches Pokémon 30th Anniversary Starter Dioramas in Japan
Re-Ment released "Pokémon Journey with You! Anniversary: The Dawn of Adventure" in Japan on Nov. 2. The line has three types, each 2,090 yen including tax, and it is sold at toy, goods and character shops. Each diorama puts one region's starter trio on a scenic base: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle (Kanto); Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile (Johto); and Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip (Hoenn). Two more waves follow on Nov. 16 and Nov. 30.
Pros: All nine starters from the first three regions; the box is a compact 100 x 140 x 60 mm; a 30th-anniversary tie-in.
Cons: Japan release only for now, with no official U.S. price or date; buying it here means import pricing.

3. Wigglitz Giantz Blow Up the 3D-Printed Fidgets to 400% Scale
Wigglitz, the maker of 3D-printed sensory fidget toys, now sells Giantz, which are its characters at 400% scale. They cost $19.99 each, and seven are listed: Ocho the Octopus, Meowrina the Mercat, Axle the Axolotl, Maple the Dachshund, Broc the Broccoli, Skellie the T-Rex and Jimothy the Raccoon. On Nov. 3, Ocho was listed as backordered.
Pros: Seven characters at one $19.99 price; the bigger size makes them easier to hold than the minis; stocking-stuffer price range.
Cons: The product page doesn't list an age grade; one character is already backordered; it is sold direct, so we have no Amazon link.

4. Fat Brain Toys Posts Its 2026 Holiday Gift Guide
Fat Brain Toys released its 2026 Holiday Gift Guide on Nov. 3. The guide lets shoppers search by age or by developmental goal. It highlights Air Toobz Evo for ages 3 and up, which the company says has been its best-selling toy for three years running, and the PlayTab system, which Fat Brain says was named 2026 Infant/Toddler Toy of the Year. The guide also features the new PlayTab Cube. On Amazon, Air Toobz Evo was $129.95 and in stock on Nov. 3. The listing says it is rechargeable, shuts off automatically after 15 minutes, and comes with 20 foam balls, tubes and connectors. The PlayTab Cube was $10.95 and in stock. The listing rates it for 12 months and up and notes that tiles are sold separately.
Pros: Air Toobz is a proven seller with a rechargeable battery and auto shut-off; the PlayTab Cube costs $10.95 and works with tiles families may already own.
Cons: Air Toobz Evo is $129.95; the Cube needs separately sold tiles. In May 2025, Fat Brain recalled PlayTab Rollers tiles (about 5,100 units) because a magnet can come loose, so check any older tiles against that notice.

5. Bandai Candy Drops Palm-Size "New! Tamagotchi Friends" Figures in Japan
Bandai's candy-toy division put "New! Tamagotchi Friends" on sale Nov. 2 in the candy aisles of mass retailers across Japan. Each pack costs 396 yen including tax and holds one palm-size soft-vinyl figure plus one piece of soda gum. There are 11 figures, including Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Mimitchi and Flowertchi, plus three color variants. The packs are rated ages 3 and up.
Pros: Cheap, collectible and soft vinyl; 11 figures including variants for trading.
Cons: Japan-only candy-aisle release with no U.S. date announced; it is a candy-and-toy pack, not a stand-alone toy.
