The Office and Jazz Quartet to be turned into LEGO Ideas sets!

October 15, 2021 By Jay Ong 17 Comments

The LEGO Ideas First 2021 Review Results are out and… *drum roll* and the Jazz Quartet by Hsinwei Chi and The Office by Lego The Office have both passed this round to be selected as the next LEGO Ideas sets!

Here's a look at 40634 Icons of Play, which I've j Here's a look at 40634 Icons of Play, which I've just reviewed on the blog! Check out the minifigures and play features!

The set celebrates of Icons of women's football with minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala

One of its strongest selling point is the diverse number of minifigures. You get 15 minifigures in a whole range of skin-tones, football jerseys and regular clothes, which is quite a rarity as non-yellow minifigures are typically reserved for licensed sets like Star Wars/Marvel. 

At its core, Icons of Play feels like a LEGO City set, and is a fun little minifigure-scale Sports-themed addition, which is quite a rarity these days. 

But trying to be both a hybrid display and play model, it unfortunately also compromises on complete-ness with the half-pitch, and play features with the knock about system leave much to be desired.

If you’re excited for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and have young football-loving fans at home, this would be an enjoyable set, but if you’re content with watching on the sidelines, I also think it’s worth waiting for a discount, especially after the Women’s World Cup has concluded.

That said, with the LEGO world dominated by pop culture licensed sets, endless Star Wars sets, and hugely expensive sets, I’m more than glad that a set like this exists to help inspire and develop the future builders and footballers of the world.

To celebrate the release of @lego Ninjago Dragons To celebrate the release of @lego Ninjago Dragons Rising sets and animated series, here's a look at the exclusive Build-a-Minifigure selection that will be rolling out from 1 June 2023 onwards!

Ninjago fans can look forward to an exclusive Sora and Arin, as well as Core Lloyd, Kai and Nya for a really cost-effective way to get your hands on these minifigs!

There's also a female football player which ties in with Icons of Play.

Here's an official look at the newly announced 762 Here's an official look at the newly announced 76262 Captain America's Shield, coming 1 September 2023! 

It joins the other collection of large Marvel things like Mjolnir, Black Panther Bust, Nano/Infinity Gauntlet and Iron Man helmet.

Unfortunately, the lack of utility with this means that it's mostly a display piece, albeit a very large one.

Looking at the back of the shield, and having gotten an opportunity to see this set a few months ago, it's really not recommended to carry it.

And it also looks like you can't hang it up, so it's meant to just sit in it's stand.

But... It's big, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.

Here's my review of 60398 Family House and Electric Car, one of the best-designed LEGO City Houses yet. It has everything you'd expect from a modern home - solar panels, an EV charging port, and even a greenhouse to grow your own vegetables. But just like the price of property these days... I struggle to understand who LEGO thinks can afford this set, which is priced the same as the Up House, and March 2023's Creator Cosy House. ... See MoreSee Less

The LEGO 40634 Icons of Play set officially launches today, a month and a bit before the FIFA Women's World Cup kicks off! Football stars Sam Kerr, Megan Rapinoe, Yuki Nagasato, and Asisat Oshoala get immortalised as LEGO minifigures in this set that pays homage to the LEGO Football sets of the late 90s, but ultimately falls short of fun as the set tries to be too many things all at once. Great for football and women's football fans, and features 15 diverse minifigures! ... See MoreSee Less
