Explore the Details of the LEGO Ideas Viking Village 21343 – Now Available for Pre-Order!

If you’re a LEGO enthusiast, you won’t want to miss the exciting news from last week. LEGO has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the LEGO Ideas Viking Village 21343 set, consisting of a remarkable 2,103 pieces.

This captivating creation originated from the imaginative mind of German LEGO Ideas fan designer Florian (aka BrickHammer over at the LEGO Ideas fan community) back in 2020. Florian’s determination and passion for this project led him to resubmit the LEGO Ideas Viking Village in 2022, even though it was not approved on two prior occasions.

But even more fascinating is the story behind this design and how it eventually made its way into production. In 2022, through a collaboration with the US retail giant Target, the LEGO Ideas Design Team delved into their vault of 10K Club submissions that had previously missed the mark. They then presented three exceptional creations to the LEGO community for a fan vote, where the winning design would become a reality. The LEGO Ideas Viking Village emerged as the clear favorite, garnering an impressive 16,000 votes to secure its path to production.

Let’s dive into the inspiration behind this extraordinary brick design. Florian reveals that while the LEGO Ideas Viking Village doesn’t aim for historical accuracy. However, the inspiration behind this set was first born in his history studies at the university. His interests focused more on the Norman conquest of 1066 and its impact on Anglo-Saxon society. As he immersed himself in books about Norman culture and its Danish Viking origins, a spark of creative inspiration led to the birth of this stunning LEGO Ideas Viking Village masterpiece.

As a fan favorite, Florian’s remarkable concept was brought to life as an official LEGO Ideas set thanks to the collaborative efforts of LEGO Design Manager Isaac Snyder and Graphic Designer Johanna Wurm Jensen.

Now, the eagerly anticipated LEGO Ideas Viking Village 21343 is available for pre-order at $129.99, with a release date of October 1st. Below, let’s explore some of its remarkable features.

LEGO Ideas Motorized Lighthouse (21335) Now Listed, Coming Next Month

For AFOLs and more tech/mechanically-inclined LEGO builders, nothing makes builds more “alive” than featuring mechanical functions in it. This can be simple as a hand-cranked mechanism to make things move, spin and so on. On the complex end a LEGO build could have motor-powered parts and lighting, like with train sets and such. Motor-powered vehicle or structural builds are just the ticket to add “animation” to any LEGO neighborhood. For AFOL builders thinking of creating a brick-built seaside landscape, the next LEGO Ideas set release will do nicely. It having a motorized light fixture makes the build “accurate” in aesthetics.

Promobricks brings us word on the LEGO Ideas Motorized Lighthouse (21335), now officially listed on LEGO Shop. With 2,065 pieces you can build the quaint Aurora Point Lighthouse, with tower and keeper’s cottage. Being a lighthouse, the set features a motorized rotating light, magnified by a Fresnel lens element. In addition, the cottage below also has a light-up red fireplace to keep the lighthouse keeper warm. He’ll need all the comfort to do his job providing navigational aid to mariners like the fisherman on his dinghy. Catch this latest Ideas set next month on September 1. And now the details:

Motorized Lighthouse (21335)

Age 18+ | 2,065 pieces | 2 minifigures | $299.99 | Coming September 1

Would You Rather Play or Display? Easy. Both. Introducing the LEGO Ideas The Office (21336)!

Well, this next LEGO Ideas set deserves a pretzel. In the tradition of brick-built dioramas of your favorite TV shows such as those from FRIENDS and Seinfeld, comes another LEGO Ideas set fit for all the brick fans of this prime-time Emmy-award-winning comedy series. The LEGO Ideas The Office (21336) set is the brainchild of prolific LEGO fan designer Jaijai Lewis. In fact, this next LEGO Ideas set has gone through a lot of initial disapprovals and reiterations since 2015 until the LEGO Ideas design team gave it the green light during the LEGO Ideas First 2021 Review Stage, alongside the LEGO Ideas Jazz Quartet (21334). True to the mantra of the sitcom’s lead character and eccentric boss Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell), Jaijai simply “Never, ever, ever gave up”.

Even better, the Ideas GWP Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) isn’t alone in availability.

From German LEGO news source Promobricks, we now know two GWP sets begin their promo period this Monday, May 16. We already know one of these sets, Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533). Now we can confirm that it’s accompanied by the adorable Children’s Amusement Park (40529). But let’s get to the important part: how much in total LEGO purchases for each? Well for Cosmic Cardboard Adventures, collectors will get it for over $160. Children’s Amusement Park, with just 170 pieces to the latter’s 203, will go for $90 in LEGO purchases. GWP set 40529 features a swinging boat ride, hammer-strength tester and ring toss, with two park-goer minifigures enjoying the attractions.

Both Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) and Children’s Amusement Park (40529) are available as GWPs until May 30. This of course assumes that supplies will last for both of these items.

LEGO November 2021 Store Calendar Released

With barely a week’s worth of days left in this month, you know what that means LEGO-wise. The next Store Calendar’s going to drop. Here’s a big shout-out to The Brick Fan, for noting the November 2021 LEGO Store Calendar on LEGO’s servers. Several days back, we were expecting some GWPs that “disappeared” from the October calendar to reappear here. They don’t need to anymore, but as a result the November activities/specials appear minimal. Black Friday deals should be marked down, but we’ve been informed LEGO’s saving them for November 15. Anyway, have a look at the calendar down below.
