LEGO Blacktron Cruiser (40580) Review

LEGO Blacktron Cruiser (40580)

LEGO is kicking 2023 off with a bang with one gift with purchase set that will be dropping at the beginning of the year with the Blacktron Cruiser (40580). This is the second Classic Space set that has been updated with updated parts and building techniques with the first one being the Galaxy Explorer (10497). The Blacktron Cruiser has 356 pieces and you can get for free with purchases of $190/€190/£170 from January 1 – February 14, while supplies last.

LEGO Designer James May Teases Four 2023 LEGO Ideas Sets

LEGO Designer James May a few hours ago has teased what LEGO Ideas sets we can expect to see in 2023. In his Twitter post, he shows off some projects he’s been working on since he moved to the LEGO Ideas team which includes BTS – Dynamite, Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage, and the Polaroid OneStep SX-70. He’s also teases another mystery set that should be coming next year.

There are some possibilities on what that fourth set could be. Note that it takes roughly about one and half years of production time from the announcement to release date. One is the Tribute to Galileo Galilei GWP from the Ready, Set, Go STEM! building contest which was announced back in June so it could be a late 2023 release. Another set could be the Viking Village from the Target Fan Vote which was announced in August. This would also be a late 2023 release as well. I doubt that it would be something from the Second 2022 Review since those winner(s) haven’t even been announced yet and that would really push the production time up quite a bit but we’ll see.

LEGO Art Hokusai: The Great Wave (31208) Officially Announced

LEGO has officially revealed the newest LEGO Art set with Hokusai: The Great Wave (31208). Releasing on January 1, the set has 1,810 pieces and retails for $99.99/€99.99/£89.99.

The set features the iconic Japanese artwork that has, many times, been reimagined into other pieces of pop culture art. Like with other pieces of recent LEGO art sets, there is a 3D effect that makes the wave pop out.


Find your flow with the iconic Hokusai: The Great Wavere-imagined as LEGO® Art

Unwind and find your flow while building LEGO® Art Hokusai: The Great Wave. A creative tribute to a global icon and masterpiece with a long history of cultural relevance in Japan and around the world.

Billund, December 28, 2022: Easily one of the most recognizable and influential Japanese artworks of all time continues to make creative waves around the world: Hokusai – The Great Wave. The LEGO Group is paying tribute to this global masterpiece and its almost two-century long history by re-imagining the iconic masterpiece in LEGO Art form, giving lovers of art and Japanese culture the opportunity to immerse themselves into a relaxing build, perfect for displaying at home.

Since Katsushika Hokusai created the original woodblock print of The Great Wave in the early 1830’s, the image has decorated the walls of museums, inspired music, and been recreated as street art and merchandise around the world. The image portrays Mount FUJI, Japan’s iconic mountain, behind a large wave covering a group of small boats.

The artwork has now been re-imagined by LEGO
