Last year, LEGO announced the release of the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) that contains 6,020 pieces and retailing for $399.99. It look me a while but I’ve finally finished building and taking pictures for this review. The contents of the massive box include 37 numbered bags, four sticker sheets, and four instruction booklets.

The teaser trailers for Spider-Man: Far From Home dropped a short time ago and we got to see some very interesting things, more importantly, the characters. Some of the new villains include Sandman, Molten Man, and Hydro-Man. Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio is also in the movie but it’s hard to tell if he’s a villain or a faux hero at this time. We also got to see Stealth Suit Spider-Man as well as Nick Fury.
As far as the LEGO sets are concerned, there are three rumored sets that will be coming out this summer and they are:
Molten Man’s Battle (76128)
Hydro-Man’s Attack (76129)
Stark’s Plane and Drone Attack (76130)
I’m not sure if those are the real names of the sets or just loose translations from a foreign retailer.
The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) will be released in a few weeks or earlier depending on if the retailer decides to put them out ahead of time. I’ve been asked many times so far of the box distribution of the minifigures and it has been confirmed by Promobricks that there will be three complete sets in a box.
What’s even more interesting is that each row of 20 is a complete set of minifigures. If that’s the case, there’s not much randomness to them and a brand new box will guarantee you a set without even feeling for them. I’m not sure if LEGO will change that later on but I doubt that it will at this point. If you do find a box in the wild, let us know if that’s the case.
