LEGO Ideas Knight Rider Rumour (2026): Is a KITT Set Really Coming?

LEGO Ideas Knight Rider Rumour (2026): Is a KITT Set Really Coming?

A fresh LEGO Ideas rumour has stirred up serious nostalgia: a Knight Rider set based on KITT could be on the way later this year. But before collectors start clearing shelf space, there’s a big catch — no Knight Rider project has been officially approved for a LEGO Ideas set at the time of writing, and the original rumour source reportedly removed their Knight Rider listing shortly after it went public.

What the Knight Rider Rumour Actually Says

The claim doing the rounds is that an unannounced LEGO Ideas set, allegedly titled “21370 Knight Rider”, could launch in August 2026, with a rumoured 1,226 pieces and a price point around €129.99. The same rumour drop also mentioned 21372 La Catrina at €129.99 with 1,212 pieces for August 2026. 

The key issue for investors and collectors: the Knight Rider part of the rumour is not supported by an official LEGO Ideas approval. In fact, the outlet covering the rumour noted that the original source later removed all mention of Knight Rider from their listings (dated as an update on 2 February).

So Where Did “LEGO Ideas Knight Rider” Come From?

While a Knight Rider set hasn’t been approved, there is a relevant fan creation in the pipeline: “Knight Rider – KITT” by Jerboa, which has been listed among the projects under consideration in a LEGO Ideas review round. The concept aims to recreate KITT in a display scale similar to other pop-culture car icons, with a suggested minifigure lineup.

That distinction matters. A project being “in review” is not the same thing as being “approved for production” — and Ideas approvals can take time, change shape dramatically during development, or not happen at all.

Why La Catrina Feels More Plausible Than Knight Rider

The same rumour bundle also referenced La Catrina — and unlike Knight Rider, La Catrina has already been publicly associated with LEGO Ideas approvals from the First 2025 review announcements covered by multiple LEGO news outlets.

That doesn’t confirm set numbers, pricing, or release windows — but it does mean La Catrina has a clearer path to becoming a real product than Knight Rider does right now.

Investabrick Take: What Investors Should Watch

From an investment perspective, LEGO Ideas can be a strong long-term category because:

• Ideas sets are often one-and-done: once retired, they don’t typically return in the same form.
• Pop-culture nostalgia drives demand: when Ideas nails an iconic IP, collectors show up fast.
• Early uncertainty creates opportunity: the best buys usually happen at launch, not after sell-outs.

But with Knight Rider specifically, the smart play is patience. Until LEGO confirms an Ideas approval (and later reveals the final product), treat “21370 Knight Rider” as high volatility rumour territory — especially given the reported walk-back by the original source.

Final Thoughts

Could LEGO Ideas produce a Knight Rider KITT set eventually? Absolutely — the fan appetite is obvious, and KITT fits the same collector lane as other display-first vehicle icons. But as of now, there’s no approved LEGO Ideas Knight Rider set, and the rumour itself has already softened publicly.

At Investabrick, we’ll be watching for two things: (1) the official LEGO Ideas review results that confirm what gets greenlit, and (2) any legitimate product reveal that locks in a set number, price, and release date. Until then, enjoy the speculation — but keep your wallet in “standby mode”.
