Not content with releasing nostalgia-laden sets, LEGO has also been re-visiting some smaller classics as Gifts with Purchase. If you picked up 40567 Forest Hideout, the latest offering is sure to be worth a look as well. 40601 Majisto’s Magical Workshop is an update of the 1993 set of the same name. Composed of 365 pieces, also included are the titular wizard Majisto, alongside a female Dragon Knight. At the time of writing there is no information on how much you’ll need to spend to get your hands on it, or how long it will be available for. That said, LEGO Insiders weekend is coming at the end of this week, so there’s a good chance it will be available then.

I prefer the original. That version is not better… Missing the glowing in the dark wand and the grim looking knight.
Wow, what a downgrade. They couldn’t have at least included a shield?
Yeah not a fan, between the knight, the axes, and the wand. Bought the Forest Hideout, not gonna get this.
This is so weird. Why’d they put a nonfunctional balcony on it? Why’d they add a nonfunctional door? What’s with the totally vertical greenery? No dragons? No bird? No shield? They put no effort into making the roof a better roof? And the “workshop” inside is… invisible, I guess? This is terrible.
Really bad set. The forest hideout was an upgrade, but this one is seriously lacking in every way.
