Releasing on February 1, the new LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463) is unlike some of the seasonal animal sets that have been released before it. Before we get to that, we’ll note that it has 293 pieces and will retail for $14.99.
The first part of the build is for the display stand, similar to the one found with the Valentine’s Brown Bear (40462). For the foundation, the designer has put in a carrot to also act as a support for the plates on top. There’s a spot on the corner for the bunny to sit and the other side has spots for two brick-built Easter eggs that come with the set.
The bunny itself is consists of several parts that connect to the body. There are a lot of curved plates and bricks that are used to give it a more natural look. The hind legs are on ball joints but they don’t actually give any advantage to being able to pose it. If you angle the legs just right, you can probably get some poseability out of it but is limited due to the tail and the weight of the head.
The head is also on a ball joint and this gives it a decent range of motion which allows it to have some emotion. It isn’t much but at least it doesn’t just spin around like with the heads of previous seasonal builds. Lastly, the ears are on ball joints as well.
The final part of the build are the pastel colored … Continue

LEGO has quietly dropped the price for all the LEGO Brick Sketches to $16.99 on the LEGO Shop. This is a straight up price adjustment from the original $19.99 price point and not a discounted price. There’s no word why the price change but it’s good for those who haven’t picked them up yet. For those who already bought them when they first came out last July, we’re pretty much out of luck on it but we can expect to see the new price on future Brick Sketches.
The Lunar New Year is coming up in a few short weeks and LEGO has released a set to celebrate it with the Chinese New Year Pandas (40466). The set has 249 pieces and retails for $19.99 and it features a mother panda along with two cubs.
The mother panda is in a sitting position. The build uses a number of the Brick 1X2X1 2/3 W/4 Knobs for the head which allows it to have details on all four sides. It has its own baseplate which includes a red lantern as well as a small mandarin orange tree. The tree also has a couple of small lanterns.
One of the baby pandas is also in a sitting position. Like its mother, the head uses the specialized bricks for the head but in a smaller scale. It also comes with a bamboo stalk.
The other cub is similar to the other one except that the legs are straight and there’s a Technic hole in the back to connect to the baseplate. This makes it look like it’s either sleeping or playfully frolic on the floor. It also has a stalk of bamboo.
Overall, it’s nice to see LEGO expand on the the Lunar New Year celebration but the LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466) seem to be somewhat lacking something. The mother panda and her baseplate are the best things from it and I do like the detailing in the tree. They are cute and I have them displayed on my shelf but the price … Continue
