Today’s the day to fall in love with Mosaics on Monday [Feature]

One of the great things about LEGO is that there are so many creative ways to build. Some people navigate towards spaceships or castles. Some gravitate towards trains or buildings. And some explore the more esoteric fringes of artistic creativity with sculpture. Or, in this case, mosaics.

Over on Instagram, there’s been a lot of great art showing up in the #MosaicsOnMonday tag. We recently had a chance to sit down (virtually) with the innovators behind this challenge, and learn a bit about where this tag came from, where it is, and where it’s headed.

LEGO Star Wars 75326 Boba Fett’s Throne Room from The Book of Boba Fett revealed [News]

With the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett having aired this past week, the LEGO sets based on it are soon to follow. Today, images of LEGO’s latest Star Wars set, 75326 Boba Fett’s Throne Room, have been revealed on Amazon.de. It’s no spoiler that Boba Fett takes over Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tatooine after the crime lord’s demise, and this set features the palace throne room as it appears under new leadership. The set includes seven minifigures: Boba Fett, Fennec Shand and Bib Fortuna, along with four unnamed characters: a Theelin Dancer, a Quarren, a Gamorrean Guard, and a Weequay Guard. The set has 732 pieces and it’s listed for an availability date of Feb. 15, though that’s likely a preorder date. We expect it will be released March 1 for an estimated US $99.99 | CAN $139.99 | UK £89.99.

LEGO reveals Jurassic World sets for Spring 2022, including 1,200-piece Jurassic Park diorama [News]

The classic film set, 76956 T. rex Breakout, is a 1,200-piece diorama meant for display that features the long-awaited Ford Explorer tour vehicles, along with a minifigure-scale version of the famous rampaging tyrannosaur we got in 75936 Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage from 2019. All three sets are available now for pre-order from LEGO with an availability date of April 17. Additionally, the Jurassic Park set is also available through Target.

LEGO Star Wars Helmets: 75343 Dark Trooper, 75328 The Mandalorian, & 75327 Luke Skywalker (Red Five) [Review]

The Helmets Series has been a massive success since its introduction, capturing iconic characters across Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. While the troopers and TIE pilot may excite some, Boba Fett and Darth Vader proved to be the great lures for dual fans of LEGO and Star Wars, especially those who grew up with the original trilogy. After all, the set’s 18+ rating was definitely targeted at the more…tenured fans. Given how many helmets have permeated the slew of related works though, the designers have a wealth of inspiration for their next models. Much like the fans, the designers must have felt like something was missing. We got plenty of “bad guys” but where were the “hero” helmets? Well, two out of three new helmets recently announced by LEGO may debatably balance things out:
75343 Dark Trooper | 693 pcs | US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99
75328 The Mandalorian | 584 pcs | US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99
75327 Luke Skywalker (Red Five) | 675 pcs | US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99
