Wizard of Oz’s Emerald City gets the LEGO treatment as part of Wicked wave of sets [News]

Something Wicked this way comes… Yes, Wicked, with a capital W! Following the theatrical release of the Disney film last year, another wave of LEGO sets is releasing this September 1. Most interesting among these is 75685 Emerald City Wall Art, a 1,518-piece display set that you can decorate your walls with, yellow brick road and all. Stylistically similar to previous LEGO Art sets, this one does include 6 minifigures: Wicked’s protagonists Glinda and Elphaba, plus Dorothy Gale, the Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man from the classic Wizard of Oz adaptation. All this will be available for US $159.99 | CAN $199.99 | UK £139.99 from September 1.

We may not in Kansas any more, Toto – but we still have more pictures after the jump!

This wickedly good use of parts leaves us green with envy

I don’t know if this thrillifying LEGO scene from Wicked was built in one short day, but considering that Bousker created it on a tight deadline for the Iron Forge contest, it couldn’t have taken much longer. Bousker brings the Emerald City to life in every shade of LEGO green, employing Castle-style techniques in a refreshingly different palette. The starring piece in this build is the flower stem, used here as climbing vines and grass, but also incorporated into the emerald architecture. As much fun as the official Emerald City set is, Bousker’s swankified minifig-scale take has me longing for more Ozian builds.
