Summary
Mariomight have beatenSonicto theLegopunch despite the hedgehog’s speed, but the blue blur has been making up for lost time since getting a set of his own. The OG Green Hill Zone set has not only been joined by other elements from Sonic’s world since, but the core cast of characters has also been turned into Minifigures. Some of those Minifigures will be available in different sets this summer as Lego has announced three new additions to its Sonic collection, all of them releasing on August 1.
The most relevantof the three Sonic sets revealed today is the Master Emerald Shrine one since Knuckles is one of its Minifigure stars. The echidna doesn’t often get the spotlight, but he has it right now since his live-action series debuted on Paramount Plus last week. If you’ve been enjoying the show and you want to extend your Knuckles love beyond it, you will be able tobuy the Lego Master Emerald Shrine, which also includes an Amy Minifigure, for $34.99.
If you prefer a deeper Sonic cut, thenthe Super Sonic vs. Egg Drillster setis the pick for you. The Drillster is a Dr. Robotnik contraption that first appeared in Sonic 2. Not the movie, but theSega Genesisgame, piloted by Eggman in the sequel’s first boss fight. As the name of the set implies, it also includes a Super Sonic Minifigure. The first time the Chaos Emerald-powered hedgehog has been turned into Lego, and he will be joined by Shadow and, of course, Robotnik.
Three New Sonic Sets Coming To The Lego Store On August 1
The third Sonic set coming to the Lego store on August 1is Tails' Adventure Boat. No, Tails hasn’t been forgotten in this latest Lego drop, and the set he’ll get this summer is an elaborate one. Made up of almost 400 pieces, alongside the boat you’ll need to build is a parasailing Sonic and a Green Hill-style platform to dock next to that includes a Lego recreation of a shield item box featured in the original 2D Sonic games.
All three sets will be available to buy through the Lego store, and potentially other retailers, from August 1. The first of the month is usually busy for Lego when it comes to reveals, but today has been even busier than usual. New Mario sets have also been added to the site, and preparations for Star Wars Day continue.Lego has been revealing new Star Wars setsthroughout 2024, and a lot of brand new ones are available for Lego Insiders to buy starting today.
