The LEGO Wicked theme was announced earlier today and the splash page for the theme is also live on the LEGO Shop. Here you can see a very detailed page with microbuilds of things we could be seeing larger versions of in the four sets but towards the bottom, we can also see a silhouette of the Elphaba and Glinda minidolls.
There have always been a fan divide between those who prefer getting sets with minifigures or sets with minidolls. We’ll just have to see what the sets look like before judgement should be made just because the sets have minidolls. Maybe the sets will wow everyone and fans will overlook the inclusion of them.
LEGO has officially announced there will be four new LEGO Wicked sets coming this October. The sets will be based on the upcoming November musical film and will feature mini-doll characters of at least Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande). The full reveal of the LEGO Wicked sets will be coming later this year, perhaps in July during San Diego Comic Con 2024? We shall see but in the meantime, check out the teaser video below.

This weekend at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix 2024, F1 celebrates the life of Ayrton Senna who tragically lost his life at the Imola Circuit 30 years ago. Max Verstappen yesterday tied Senna’s record of eight consecutive pole positions which had stood since 1989. Sebastian Vettel also took the 1993 McLaren MP4/8 around for a lap at Imola to remember the racing legend which you can watch here.
Earlier this year, LEGO has already paid tribute to Senna by releasing a LEGO Icons set of the McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna (10330) which features the car that Senna used his first world title. You can read my review of the set here.
