Despite being in the middle of the summer, the newly released LEGO City subtheme featuring LEGO Arctic sets is proving to be highly popular, and for good reason; the sets come with a great color-scheme, excellent vehicles, and newly designed minifigures and animals. Besides, the brand ambassador for the LEGO Arctic sets is the world famous polar explorer Ben Saunders (pictured below). Here we will look at all the LEGO Arctic sets in detail, along with full video-reviews on each of the sets. 🙂
There are five sets in the new LEGO Arctic line, ranging from small sets to large play-sets with lot of features. You should be able to find these sets at most LEGO retailers, and they are also available at the Online LEGO Shop. In addition, there are also two limited edition sets. These have not yet been released and it is not clear at this point who the select retailer is going to be, but once they become available they should also be listed at the Online LEGO Shop. So let’s take a look at all of the LEGO Arctic sets. Below is a video-playlist of all of the sets reviewed by JANGBRiCKS (I have arranged them in order, starting with the smallest set and going up from there).
