The Return of LEGO Overwatch Coming!

The Overwatch team-based multiplayer first-person shooter game by Blizzard Entertainment has a very dedicated fan base with over 50 million players and is considered to be among the greatest video games of all time, receiving numerous awards.

The very first LEGO Overwatch set, the #75987 LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion, was an exclusive that was sold only at Blizzard’s online shop and at the 2018 BlizzCon event. The following year, LEGO released eight sets related to the game, which we talked about previously (see links at the end of this post).

Since then, Overwatch 2, a standalone sequel to the game was announced at the 2019 BlizzCon event and should be available sometime within the next couple of years with an enhanced gaming experience and visual redesigns. And we can assume that there will be related LEGO sets to the game.

In fact, at least one set already surfaced from Overwatch 2; the #76980 LEGO Overwatch Titan. The set features two main characters, Tracer and Mei as well as a giant mech. Below is the official description of the set as well as the trailer for Overwatch 2.

The action of Overwatch 2 comes to life in style LEGO with the incredible Titan robot. This articulated model has many life-like features including rockets and an energy weapon that lights up with a LEGO light brick. Featuring minifigures of Overwatch heroines Mei and Tracer with their weapons, it inspires exciting adventures and proudly displays itself alongside any gaming console. This kids’ toy is inspired by Overwatch 2, the popular action game from Blizzard Entertainment that invites heroes from around the world to team up to face threats from all corners of the globe.

As you can see from the trailer, there is potential for some other sets and characters as well. In fact, the Brickset database already lists several other LEGO Overwatch sets for 2022, however, those haven’t been revealed to date.

What do you think? Are you excited about the return of LEGO Overwatch? Do you have any of the sets from the original game? What would you like to see in a second wave of LEGO Overwatch sets? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

LEGO Star Wars AT-AT Designer-Video & More!

The recently released and massive #75313 LEGO Star Wars AT-AT is the latest in the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) line-up. We talked about the set in detail (see: LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT) but to recap, this version of the All Terrain Armored Transport from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is the largest version LEGO ever released. It comes with 6,785 pieces and includes features like a movable head, spinning guns, adjustable legs, and side panels that open to reveal the detailed interior. The overall size is 62cm / 24.5 inches high, 69cm / 27 inches long, and 24cm / 9.5 inches wide.

You can really get a sense of the massive size of this set in the recently released designer-video, where LEGO designer Henrik Andersen demonstrates all the unique features and functions of the set.

There is also a second video with the LEGO designer of the set, where he demonstrates how to remove/take apart some of the most complex assemblies in the model.

LEGO has been releasing some incredible sets in the Star Wars collection, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in a standard retail set. Sets like the #76192 LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon, the #75252 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, the #75309 LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship, and the #75290 LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina bring to life some of the most iconic scenes, locations, vehicles, and characters from the films, and also provide a challenging building experience. If you would like to take a look, visit the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the new LEGO Star Wars AT-AT? Are you planning to add it to your collection? Or do you have it already?
