2023 is set to be a great year for Australian LEGO fans, as LEGO has officially revealed 40651 Australia Postcard, which will be released on 1 January 2023.
LEGO’s buildable postcard series takes a visit Down Under, joining London, Beijing, Paris and New York, but instead of highlighting skyscrapers and other important manmade landmarks, the LEGO Australia Postcard pays homage to the Australian outback, and our rich natural heritage.
40651 Australia Postcard will be available from LEGO.com and your local LEGO stores. These small Creator sets tend to be LEGO exclusives so won’t pop up at general retail, so you’ll have to buy them online, or make the trip to a LEGO Store to pick one up.
There’s a lot going on here, and I love how they captured the blue sky and clouds, along with a cheeky Qantas plane in the top corner. There’s a tin windmill, outback station with tin roof, a dunny (outhouse), as well as a gumtree with a cockatoo perched in it.
Tying everything together is one of Australia’s most iconic symbols, a Kangaroo road sign (yes, we do have to watch out for kangaroos darting across roads Down Under), as well as a printed Australian tile.
We’re finally getting plenty of Australian references in LEGO sets in 2023, and joining 31133 White Rabbit (which has a Cockatoo alternate model), and Series 24’s Conservationist which comes with a Koala, 2023 is set to be a very exciting year for us Down Under.
Can’t wait to add the LEGO Koala to this Postcard!
