Unveiling the 2,500-Piece LEGO Ideas The Orient Express Train – Arriving in December!

Editors Note: This post has been updated to reflect the release date of the LEGO Ideas the Orient Express 21344 to be December 1 instead of November, as confirmed by LEGO.

It looks like LEGO still has a lot of things in store as we approach the end of the year. And in case you missed it, we can now have a sneak peek of the highly anticipated LEGO Ideas The Orient Express 21344 which is slated to arrive this December, consisting of more than 2,500 pieces.

The LEGO Ideas The Orient Express and the Road to 10K

If you recall back in March of 2021, LEGO fan builder Thomas Lajon (aka LEt’sGO over at the LEGO Ideas platform) managed to get the support of the LEGO community when his original creation, The Orient Express, A Legendary Train, hit the 10K support milestone. Consequently, it earned its top spot at the LEGO Ideas First 2022 Review Stage and went on to be one of the next LEGO Ideas 2023 sets to watch out for by the year’s end.

Thanks to LEGO’s official catalog, we’re now granted an early preview of the much-anticipated set. This stunning brick-built train set boasts an impressive 2,540 pieces, promising a fulfilling building experience for LEGO aficionados.

Do take note that as of this posting though, it seems that LEGO backtracked on their supposed reveal and has decided to update the said digital catalog, removing the page dedicated to the reveal of the LEGO Ideas The Orient Express. As such, LEGO.com is yet to list the LEGO Ideas The Orient Express, but we can expect an official reveal anytime soon.

A Remarkable Transformation

LEGO Ideas projects often undergo significant transformations from their initial concepts to the final products available in stores. The LEGO Ideas Orient Express is a prime example of this evolution. The version set to launch this fall differs substantially from the original Ideas campaign model, embracing a more whimsical approach while retaining a touch of its old-school charm.

A Palette of Change

Another notable change is its color scheme. The initial fan-submitted model by Thomas Lajon featured a green engine design, while the rear passenger car was dark blue. In the final product design, the LEGO Ideas Design Team opted for an all-encompassing dark blue theme. This modification brings a new level of coherence to the model, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

All Aboard!

Another exciting alteration is the addition of an extra passenger car to the engine. The original model included only one passenger car, but the LEGO Ideas Design Team decided that more was merrier. Consequently, the set now includes a total of eight minifigures, ensuring ample interior space for creative play.

LEGO Ideas The Orient Express – Availability and Release Date

Be sure to mark December 1 on your calendar because that’s when the LEGO Ideas The Orient Express train will officially be available. Expected to retail for $300, this lovely set comes complete with a track display stand, making it an ideal choice for display enthusiasts. While it lacks motorized functionality, it remains fully compatible with existing LEGO train setups. Let’s hope LEGO will also offer some Power Functions to this set later on after its official reveal.

The official unveiling of this remarkable creation is just around the corner. LEGO traditionally reserves major reveals for Tuesdays or Thursdays. So, stay tuned as we await the release of its official product description and high-res images.

The LEGO Ideas The Orient Express Train, with its 2,500 pieces and unique design, promises to be a standout addition to any LEGO collection. It’s a long overdue set, especially for LEGO Train enthusiasts.

Be sure not to miss out on its official launch on December 1, and keep an eye out for more details in the coming days only here at The Brick Show.

LEGO Unveils Five New LEGO Animal Crossing Sets

After a series of teasers and numerous speculations, LEGO has at long last officially revealed their latest offering: the much-awaited LEGO Animal Crossing sets, inspired by Nintendo’s widely beloved video game series. The enchanting universe of Animal Crossing, which has captured the hearts of countless players, is now making its debut in the form of LEGO bricks, together with other LEGO Nintendo sets.

LEGO Animal Crossing Features Several Scenes and Beloved Characters that Fans Will Surely Adore

In partnership with Nintendo, LEGO has created five unique sets that allow builders to dive headfirst into the charming world of the beloved video game franchise. These sets open up the possibility of crafting various stories within their brick-constructed landscapes.

If you recall, back in 2021, LEGO’s first partnership with Animal Crossing came with a surprising theme. The now-discontinued LEGO Vidiyo characters made an appearance in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons video game. And two years since then, we will be seeing actual LEGO Animal Crossing sets rolled-out during the Q1 of 2024.

This first wave of LEGO Animal Crossing sets has been designed for easy assembly for younger LEGO fans while offering a high degree of customization that other builders and collectors will enjoy.

For example, you can effortlessly switch elements between buildings, even the window frames. Every set can be mixed and matched, giving builders the freedom to curate their own distinct worlds and settings. Plus of course, the lovely minifigures that go with them. These could easily pass as a LEGO Collectible Minifigure series in my opinion.

The new range comprises the following sets:

Julian’s Birthday Bash

In this set, builders can join Julian in a delightful birthday celebration. They can partake in cupcake-sharing and present-opening festivities, adding a personal touch to the party.

Bunnie’s Outdoor Adventures

LEGO Animal Crossing Bunnie’s Outdoor Activities set offers the chance to role-play setting up a tent, roasting marshmallows, and using the vaulting pole to leap across the water, all while grabbing tools reminiscent of the video game series.

Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour

LEGO and Animal Crossing fans are in for a treat with the LEGO Animal Crossing Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour. This brick-built adventure allows you to board the boat with Kapp’n and Marshal, embark on a quest for coconuts and bamboo, discover the local wildlife, such as hermit crabs and fish, or simply relax by the fire.

Isabelle’s House Visit

Young LEGO builders can let their creativity shine by assisting Isabelle and Fauna in customizing Fauna’s house. With the LEGO Animal Crossing Isabelle’s House Visit, builders can customize the set by including a plethora of activities like unwrapping balloon presents, crafting tools, and harvesting fruits and flowers.

Nook’s Cranny & Rosies House

This set features two famous landmarks in the Animal Crossing video game. You can join in shopping sprees at Nook’s Cranny shop or savor freshly baked goodies at Rosie’s house.

LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Are Now Up at LEGO.com

The highly-anticipated LEGO Animal Crossing sets will be globally available at all LEGO Stores, various retailers, and LEGO.com beginning March 1, 2024.

LEGO Fortnite Sets: What to Expect in 2024

In the world of gaming and collectibles, exciting rumors have been circulating for months, hinting at an epic series of LEGO Fortnite sets. While the exact details remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is clear – a collaboration of two beloved brands is on the horizon.

Check out the latest buzz on what LEGO and Fortnite fans can look forward to in 2024.

LEGO Fortnite: A Glimpse of the Future

The excitement skyrocketed when fellow LEGO blogger The Brick Fan shared an intriguing find. A smaller replica of a LEGO Fortnite Llama has made its appearance online. And for what it seems, this small but very familiar brick-built figure may be a part of a broader collection of LEGO Fortnite sets slated to hit the shelves in 2024. Interestingly, this aligns with previous rumors suggesting that LEGO content won’t grace the Fortnite universe until after Season 5.

Clues in the Brick

To be precise, one can find on LEGO’s official product certification page, a listing for set number 5008257. If you’re a seasoned Fortnite player, you’ll immediately notice that it bears a striking resemblance to the Supply Llama that randomly spawns on the game map. The size of this LEGO set suggests it might be either a polybag or the typical Make & Take set in LEGO stores. Unfortunately, LEGO is clearly mum on its release date.

Manage Your Expectations

While excitement is building for the idea of having a LEGO Fortnite theme, it’s realistic to exercise caution and await LEGO’s official announcement. The video game industry is notorious for its ever-shifting plans, especially in the realm of Fortnite.

LEGO rumors have been swirling since early this year, but we shouldn’t leap to conclusions until LEGO and Epic Games provide official confirmation.

LEGO’s Ever-Growing, Video Game-Inspired Sets

In recent years, LEGO has embarked on a mission to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the gaming industry, creating sets inspired by popular gaming franchises.

We’ve witnessed an array of sets featuring Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Minecraft, and more. Given Fortnite’s immense popularity, many have wondered why it took this long for the LEGO-Fortnite crossover to happen. Nevertheless, the anticipation is palpable.

Coordinating the release of physical toy sets with LEGO Fortnite content is a strategic move that fans of the game have been waiting for. While the quantity and nature of the sets remain a mystery, even a single LEGO Fortnite Llama polybag would definitely delight LEGO and Fortnite fans.

The Potential of LEGO Fortnite Content

Imagine the endless possibilities of an in-game LEGO crossover within Fortnite. LEGO video games, such as LEGO 2K Drive and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, have showcased innovative ways to integrate the building theme into gaming experiences.

With such creative potential at their disposal, the developers at Epic Games have the opportunity to craft something extraordinary. If LEGO content does indeed arrive in Fortnite, it promises to be a long-awaited treat for fans who have patiently bided their time.

While the LEGO-Fortnite crossover remains shrouded in secrecy, the hints and sneak peeks keep our hopes alive. Whether it’s a single Llama polybag or an entire universe of LEGO Fortnite sets, 2024 is shaping up to be a year of excitement and anticipation for gamers and collectors alike.

The charming LEGO Disney Mini Steamboat Willie (40569) set pays homage to the 1928 animated classic, Steamboat Willie, featuring a monochromatic brick-built boat and an adorable Mickey Mouse minifigure.

I love the fact that LEGO opted to release a chibi version of its larger cousin the LEGO Ideas Steamboat Willie (21317) in 2019. The set also features the exclusive vintage Mickey Mouse minifigure that is slightly different from the original one released in 2019 because of its black hat and slightly darker torso.

LEGO Made From Recycled Plastic Bottles Will No Longer be a Thing

In a surprising turn of events, the LEGO Group has announced that it has recently abandoned its initial commitment of providing LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles.

This decision has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the true environmental impact of such a shift. Let’s look into why LEGO had a change of heart and explore its quest for sustainability.

Sustainability Is Not Possible With LEGO Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

LEGO initially made headlines in 2021 by announcing its intention to transition to recycled plastic bottles as source material for its bricks. However, the company is now retracting that promise, citing concerns over the sustainability of plastic bottles. According to a report by CBS News, LEGO expressed its decision not to proceed with this plan, emphasizing that it did not contribute to reducing carbon emissions.

Backtracking on Plastic Bottles

The backtrack on plastic bottles is a notable shift for LEGO. The company disclosed its groundbreaking endeavor when it unveiled its first brick crafted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) obtained from recycled bottles.

Unfortunately, it seems that the recycling of bottles into LEGO bricks did not meet the company’s expectations in terms of environmental benefits. Despite this setback, LEGO is not giving up on its sustainability goals.

Before this, LEGO had already delved into using plant-based components made from sustainably sourced sugarcane. This means that the impact on the environment caused by producing plastic bricks was significantly lower as compared to their usual methods of creating ABS plastic.

But this seems not to be the case with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles or those made from polyethylene terephthalate or PET. After more than two years of testing, LEGO eventually realized through numerous tests that moving forward with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles didn’t reduce carbon emissions.

Seeking Sustainable Alternatives

LEGO is actively exploring alternative sustainable materials for its iconic bricks and aims to achieve this transition by 2032. Even though pushing through with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles proved to be an eventual setback, LEGO, as a socially responsible company, is still committed to testing and developing other sustainable sources.

A History of Sustainability

LEGO’s journey toward sustainable manufacturing didn’t begin in 2021. Back in 2018, the company made significant strides by announcing its utilization of sugarcane-based bioplastics. While sugarcane represents a more sustainable option compared to traditional plastic derived from fossil fuels, it possesses different characteristics, being softer and more flexible. As a result, LEGO has primarily employed sugarcane plastic in its lineup of plant-shaped bricks, particularly with the introduction of its Plants from Plants (40320) promotional set back in 2018.

40320 alt1 — The 2018 promotional item LEGO Plants From Plants 40320 was the first-ever set made from plant-based materials for its plastics.

The decision to step back from LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles underscores the LEGO Group’s unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. While this specific avenue may not have yielded the desired results, LEGO’s exploration of alternative sustainable materials signifies a dedication to finding more eco-friendly solutions for its iconic products.
