A newly surfaced LEGO rumor points to another major One Piece expansion in August 2027. The reported five-set wave matters because it could continue LEGO's annual summer rollout for Netflix's live-action adaptation and finally add Portgas D. Ace to the minifigure roster.
What happened
Instagram account BuggyLeaks reported on November 6 that LEGO is preparing five unannounced One Piece products carrying set numbers 75648 through 75652. All five are said to be targeting an August 2027 release, though no official product names, prices, piece totals, or images have been shared. The same report says one of the sets will contain the first LEGO minifigure of Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's adoptive older brother. None of these details have been confirmed by LEGO, so collectors should treat the lineup as an early rumor rather than a release slate.
Why it matters
The numbering makes the report plausible within the existing One Piece range. LEGO's 2026 lineup reportedly concluded with 75647 Gum-Gum Fruit, meaning the alleged 75648-75652 sequence would follow directly on from that wave. The proposed timing also fits the theme's recent release pattern: LEGO launched seven One Piece products in August 2025, followed by another seven in August 2026. If accurate, 2027 would mark a third straight August expansion for the line. Ace's reported inclusion also suggests a possible tie-in with Netflix's confirmed third season, The Battle of Alabasta, where the character is set to appear.
What to watch next
The key unknown is the scale of the five rumored sets. Without prices or piece counts, it is impossible to tell whether LEGO is planning character-focused display models, location builds, ships, or a mix of formats. Fans should also watch for whether the range is explicitly connected to Netflix's Season 3. Netflix has confirmed the season for 2027 and revealed that Xolo Maridueña will play Ace, but it has not announced a premiere date. Official LEGO listings, retailer entries, or product imagery will be needed before the reported lineup can be treated as firm.
What One Piece LEGO fans should take away
- Five sets are rumored, but no names, prices, images, or piece counts are currently known.
- The reported August 2027 window would continue LEGO's two-year August release rhythm for One Piece.
- Portgas D. Ace is rumored to receive his first official LEGO minifigure.
- A Season 3 connection is likely but remains unconfirmed until LEGO reveals the products.
Reported One Piece LEGO release pattern
| Year | Reported or confirmed release timing | Known lineup detail |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | August | Seven-product debut wave |
| 2026 | August | Seven additional sets; range reportedly ended at 75647 |
| 2027 | August, rumored | Five sets numbered 75648-75652 |
Expert View
This leak is most compelling not because every detail is guaranteed, but because its numbering and timing align cleanly with LEGO's established One Piece cadence. Ace would be a high-value addition for collectors, yet the real test will be whether LEGO builds the 2027 wave around memorable Alabasta-era locations rather than relying on another small character-led expansion.
