Feeling arty? How about LEGO arty? Or just… LEGO Art. The LEGO Group clearly hopes you’ll still be feeling its original theme of mosaics (and beyond) come 2023, as it’s apparently got at least one more set in the works. As 31207 Floral Art has shown us, mosaics are no longer limited to 48×48 grids, so this could genuinely be anything at this stage. Set name We’ve only got word of one LEGO Monkie Kid set for 2023 so far – courtesy of a listing at LEGO.com – but it seems likely that more will follow, if only to continue serving the LEGO Group’s growing market in China. (It helps that the sets are generally all great, too.) Set nameThere’s not a whole lot to go on with LEGO Disney in 2023 at the minute, mostly because these rumoured set names are pretty much par for the course for the theme. The Cars set will likely be a DUPLO model (judging by its product number), but beyond that it’s reasonably familiar territory here. Set name
Which one of these 3 new sets is a day 1 buy for you? Let’s talk about it in the comments section below. Frodo & Gollum (40630) And last but not least, we have Arwen Undomiel and Aragorn, King of Gondor! Aragorn looks absolutely badass with his armour, and I love all the printed elements across his crown and armour. A reportedly delayed flagship set (42146 Liebherr LR 13000), a new model inspired by Matt Reeves’ The Batman and a more affordable Bugatti headline the list of LEGO Technic sets currently rumoured for 2023, which run the gamut from €9.99 all the way up to €449.99. It’s shaping up to be an expensive year for Technic fans… Set name The Balrog looks awesome, and I love the use of trans-elements, as well as his tiny red whip! 40632 Aragorn & Arwen – 261 pieces With The Super Mario Bros. Movie on the horizon, 2023 could well be the most exciting year yet for the LEGO Super Mario theme. Will the LEGO Group choose to embrace the film with Mario minifigures (finally!), or will it stay the course with its interactive sets? We’ll hopefully find out soon, but for now, we’ve at least got word that a new batch of sets will arrive in January. Set nameHe’s got a shortsword that isn’t Sting, but I’ll allow it to pass. Maybe the Sting mould is retired 🙁 40631 Gandalf the Grey & Balrog – 348 pieces Build and display – Frodo™ stands over 3 in. (8 cm) tall and Gollum™ stands over 1.5 in. (5 cm) tall. Each model comes with a baseplate for display
Fingers crossed the LEGO Group follows up with more affordable and accessible sets at some stage – not every adult has €500 to drop on a single product, just to get a modern taste of LEGO The Lord of the Rings. Every LEGO The Lord of the Rings set rumoured for 2023LEGO Friends will reportedly launch its biggest set to date in January, in the form of 41732 City Center. Coming in at 2,010 pieces for €159.99, it’s rumoured to sail past even 41703 Main Street Building – but for the same price tag. Colour us intrigued. Set name Just one LEGO DC set is thought to be on the way in 2023 so far, in the form of a product tied to Warner Bros.’ long-mooted The Flash movie. First revealed through a listing at an online retailer, the latest Batmobile will reportedly arrive on shelves a month before its source material debuts in cinemas. Set name The LEGO Group’s Chinese New Year sets are now a regular feature in the annual calendar, and two more are thought to be joining the range in January. If so, they’ll replace 80108 Lunar New Year Traditions and 80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival, both of which are retiring by the end of 2022. Set name
