Why Collectors Are Eyeing Disney’s 101 Dalmatians LEGO Sets as a Smart Investment
LEGO fans with a soft spot for classic Disney animation — and even softer spots for spotty puppies — are in for a treat this season with the arrival of two charming 101 Dalmatians sets being launched at the start of June 2025. Whether you're an AFOL seeking nostalgia or a young builder discovering the magic for the first time, these LEGO Disney builds deliver in both style and playability.
Please note not all sets will be released on the same date in different locations.
43269 – 101 Dalmatians Puppy
Targeted squarely at adult fans of LEGO and Disney, 43269 – 101 Dalmatians Puppy offers a buildable homage to the iconic animation. With 1,722 pieces, this sophisticated set allows you to create a large customizable Dalmatian puppy — complete with movable head, tail, and poseable limbs. Whether you opt to recreate a known pup like Patch, Penny, Rolly, Lucky, or Freckles, or design a brand-new member of the Dalmatian family, this model invites a surprising degree of personalization.
Standing over 22 cm tall when posed leaning forward, the puppy makes a charming display piece for desks, shelves, or anywhere in need of some monochrome cheer. Advanced building techniques and subtle shaping bring personality to every pose — from sitting to lying down — and the final model strikes a playful balance between realism and cartoon charm. The included building instructions are complemented by a digital 3D experience via the LEGO Builder app, enhancing the build and making tracking progress seamless.
With an RRP of £129.99/$149.99/€139.99, this set is not just a nostalgic nod but a well-priced display piece that fits nicely into the growing category of LEGO’s adult collectible sets. When paired with the smaller Lucky & Penny playset, it becomes part of a wholesome cross-generational building experience, making it a compelling addition for both collectors and families alike.
43271 – Lucky & Penny 101 Dalmatians Puppies
Younger fans don’t have to miss out on the fun, thanks to LEGO 43271 – Lucky & Penny 101 Dalmatians Puppies, a smaller but lively set built for kids aged 6 and up. Containing 268 pieces, this buildable toy features the ever-mischievous Lucky and his sweet sister Penny, both rendered as articulated LEGO Dalmatian puppy characters. Their heads, legs, and tails are fully posable, encouraging imaginative play and storytelling.
In addition to the pups, the set includes a brick-built toy bone and a small TV, adding narrative context and making it easy for kids to jump straight into a scene inspired by the original movie. When the play session winds down, Lucky and Penny double as delightful display figures — each standing over 9 cm tall and full of character.
At an RRP of £19.99/$24.99/€24.99, this is an accessible entry point for young builders into the LEGO Disney theme and a solid gift idea for birthdays or holidays. It also pairs beautifully with the larger LEGO 43269 set, allowing parents and kids to build side by side. This clever pairing of companion sets reinforces LEGO’s growing trend of bridging generational gaps through shared building experiences.

Conclusion

Whether bought separately or as a complementary pair, they deliver a strong dose of nostalgia and creativity that’s sure to resonate with Disney lovers and LEGO enthusiasts alike.
From a collecting and building standpoint, these are great additions right now — with thoughtful design, poseability, and broad shelf appeal. As investment pieces, their long-term performance the jury is still out.

Time will tell whether these pups grow into full pedigree collector items.
