• 76990 Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge – US$34.99 / AU$52.99 / £24.99 / €29.99 / CAD$39.99

Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge (292 pieces) includes Sonic, a brick-built Moto bug and Sonic’s Flicky friend. Along with the launcher, you get an arch, gold rings, a ramp, and a beach chair and DJ mini-builds for when Sonic’s had enough of heroics and wants to chill.

Tails’s Workshop and Tornado Plane (376 pieces) is mostly about the swoopy plane. But there is a basic workshop façade for the heroes to tinker in. You also get Sonic (cheekily lounging on an easy chair), Tails, a Buzz Bomber build, and a tiny Clucky.

Amy’s Animal Rescue Island (388 pieces) features Amy and a second appearance for Tails, along with an excellent brick-built Crabmeat. There are three tiny animal figures: Picky, Pocky and a Flicky. The play build is substantial and integrated: a beach theme, with hidden areas, one of which opens when Amy whacks a button with a hammer.

Sonic’s Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge (802 pieces) most resembles a game, and includes a huge loop assembly, along with a Dr. Eggman end-of-level battle. The big bad now exists in minifig form, and you also get a Sonic and an Amy. There are brick-built takes on Badniks Chopper and Newtron, along with four dinky animals: Flicky, Becky, Pocky and Pecky.

“At Sega, we strive to create memorable experiences with our licensing partners that fans will cherish for years to come,” said Ivo Gerscovich, chief business & brand officer at Sega of America. “The Lego Group is the leader in play, and the perfect partner to bring exciting stories, iconic characters and environments from the Sonic universe to life in fans’ living rooms globally. Through our creative collaboration with the Lego Group, Sonic fans of all generations can use their imaginations to play out their favourite Sonic moments, and we can’t wait to see their awesome creations.”

“It really isn’t like anything else: the sets offer an entirely new, action-packed play experience,” says Frédéric Roland Andre, designer at the Lego Group. “I’m especially proud of the Speed Sphere, as it was quite a challenge to figure out how we would get Sonic to speed up and interact with each course. Sonic is known for his speed and how he runs and jumps through courses, so for Lego sets inspired by him there was no way we could create a static set, we simply had to be creative and make them as action-packed as possible.”
