The cat is out of the bag – we’re getting 4 exciting new Sonic Lego sets, and you better believe that all four will be heading to my office the moment they release!
Retro Dodo readers know how much we love our Lego here at Retro Dodo Towers. I think Brandon actually pitched the idea to the construction company who built it, but they just laughed and walked away.
And after we started collecting all the best Mario Lego sets, we wondered what the next avenue Sega would take would be. At the back of our minds we were genuinely thinking that a Zelda collection would be dropping next.
But there’s really no surprise that the fastest hedgehog alive pipped Link to the production line!
With 4 new Sonic Lego Sets to choose from with progressive build complexity, there’s guaranteed to be a little bit of nostalgia for everyone right here.
So, let’s take a look at what’s on offer and figure out when you can get your hands on them!
Table of Contents
1. LEGO® Sonic the HedgehogTM Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge (76990)
The first of the new Sonic Lego sets is the easiest to build, coming in at just 292 pieces. Don’t let the easy difficulty fool you though; Sonic is about to go seriously fast in this one!
While there isn’t much building going on, there’s lots of sweet accessories for fans to get excited about, including the 4cm high sphere launcher which looks incredibly cool!
Add some collectible rings, a Moto Bug Badnik , and a some recreational Sonic-style activities like lounging on the beach into the equation, and you’ve got yourself a fun little set on your hands.
The Speed Sphere Challenge set will cost 29,99 EUR / 34,99 USD / 24,99 GBP.
2. LEGO® Sonic the HedgehogTM Tails’s Workshop and Tornado Plane (76991)
Miles Prower strikes again! I’ve always been a huge fan of the Tornado plane, and getting the chance to build it in Lego form is going to be so cool!
Check out Sonic up there; the guy knows no fear.
Weighing in at 376 pieces, it’s a step up from the Speed Sphere and features Tails in his element, surrounded by his gizmos and gadgets in his workshop.
Sonic seems to be chilling out in the still above, though I’m not sure why when a Buzz Bomber is lurking around outside!
The workshop itself measures 9cm high, 12cm wide, and 3.5cm deep and comes with rings to collect too.
With more pieces comes a bigger price; this set will set you back 42,99 EUR / 39,99 USD / 37,99 GBP
3. LEGO® Sonic the HedgehogTM Amy’s Animal Rescue Island (76992)
Amy is heading up the third entry in the new Sonic Lego sets announcement, looking after all of the animals rescued through the various levels on her very own island!
I’ve never really liked crabmeat when I eat sushi, and looking at Crabmeat on the box above, there’s no wonder why. Luckily Amy comes with her trusty hammer for batting him away!
There are 6 characters to play with in this set and 388 pieces to put together, keeping those nimble fingers occupied while listening to Sonic tunes from our article!
Tails has left the Tornado behind and joined in the action too, giving you great value for money.
But what is that value?
Well, the set will come in at 52,99 EUR / 49,99 USD / 46,99 GBP.
4. LEGO® Sonic the HedgehogTM Sonic’s Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge (76994)
It’s the set you’ve all been waiting for and with the baddie you’ve all been hoping would be here too. Yes, the Green Hill Zone loop challenge is the last of the new Sonic Lego sets, and it’s a mammoth 802 pieces!
This set is the biggest so far with 9 characters to play with.
But come on, we all know you’ve only got eyes for Eggman. His fighting machine looks so good!
The loop track is 37cm long and features lots of accessories and characters from the previous sets. I guess you could say it’s the best of the bunch, with a Newtron, Badniks, and ol’ Moustache-face himself to beat.
This set costs 104,99 EUR / 99,99 USD / 94,99 GBP, but you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck here which is what we like to see.
Speaking on the new lego sets, Sega’s Ivo Gerscovich says that they strive to create memorable experiences with their licensing partners that fans will cherish for years to come.
“The LEGO Group is the leader in play, and the perfect partner to bring exciting stories, iconic characters & environments from the Sonic universe to life in fans’ living rooms globally.
