When the LEGO Animal Crossing sets were announced a few months ago, we only had the product images but there are now box arts for the sets coming out of Smyths Toys. Not surprisingly, they’re very coordinated with the bright colors and the leaf background. The sets won’t be available until March 1, 2024 but we can look forward to some of the more iconic characters from the series in minifigure form.
In 2024, LEGO will be releasing the LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull (76964) which retails for $39.99 and has 577 pieces.
Last night was the finale of LEGO Masters Season 4 and we now have two new LEGO Masters as well as the set that will be made into an official LEGO set in the future. If you didn’t know, the winners will be flown to Billund to meet with LEGO designers with the winning build be turned into a new set. Before you read on, there are spoilers if you didn’t watch the show.
The team of Christopher (DuckBbricks) and Robert are your newest LEGO Masters and their 8ft by 8ft build of the World Wonderliner will be displayed at the flagship LEGO Store in New York. Their build features a plane with three core icons of their most memorable travel experiences which include the Kenyan baobab tree, the Forbidden City, and the Colosseum.
The release of the set won’t be out for at least another year or two but expect it to be scaled down to a more reasonable price. Since there’s a lot of details in the final build, it’ll probably come in at a few thousand pieces.
