LEGO Trolls World Tour Sets Overview

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

A brand new theme that LEGO released at the beginning of the year, is related to the Trolls World Tour film that will be released in April. There are seven sets in the collection featuring super colorful characters and scenes from the movie. Even if you don’t care for the film, the sets are worth checking out just for the unusual pieces. We will walk through each of the sets, and I also included video-reviews at the end, so you can see them in more detail.

The first Trolls film based on the cute and scary dolls was released back in 2016 by DreamWorks Animation. The film followed two trolls who go on a quest, to save their village from destruction by the Bergens, creatures who eat Trolls to be happy. The film was very popular and turned out to be great commercial success. Based on the trailer, Trolls World Tour could be fun as well.

As far as the LEGO sets, they all have some really nice new pieces and pretty dope colors. As the movie is not yet released we don’t know all the details, but we can gather some basics from the set designs and descriptions.

The #41250 LEGO Trolls Techno Reef Dance Party features a DJ booth and a stage with a heart-shaped background that allows the mermaid and her octopus pal to spin. You really have to look over this set to notice all the unusual pieces and colors. For example, take a look at that felt heart in the center of the stage. 173 pieces. Price: $19.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #41251 LEGO Trolls Poppy’s Pod features one of the cutest characters, Poppy, pod-shaped house, which is a special piece. Note that this is a LEGO Juniors (4+) set, so all the decoration are printed instead of stickered. Also notice more felt pieces, and those brand new musical notes! 103 pieces. Price: $19.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

We find more specialized pieces in the #41252 LEGO Trolls Poppy’s Hot Air Balloon Adventure set, but I think they are quite useful. The air balloon could even be added to LEGO City or LEGO Friends sets. The decoration on the balloon is printed. The set includes three Trolls, plus Mr. Dinkles. 250 pieces. Price: $29.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #41253 LEGO Trolls Lonesome Flats Raft Adventure features a floatable raft, stage, and jail. This is another LEGO Juniors set, so all the decorations are printed. And we get more musical notes! 159 pieces. Price: $29.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

In the #41254 LEGO Trolls Volcano Rock City Concert set we get a large stage with tons of colorful accessories and three minifigs, including Barb, who is exclusive to this set. 387 pieces. Price: $39.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #41256 LEGO Trolls Rainbow Caterbus set features the Trolls World Tour bus in all of its rainbow-colored glory. There are lots of unique pieces and colors to notice, here, but I think my favorite part is Poppy’s suitcase (and of course, the musical notes). Includes Poppy and Cooper, plus four brick-built characters; Cloud Guy and his three cloud babies. 395 pieces. Price: $39.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The largest of the LEGO Trolls sets is the #41255 LEGO Trolls Pop Village Celebration. It features a tree house with two more of the specialized pod pieces in exclusive colors. One of them is for the glitter-tastic exclusive characters Guy Diamond and Tiny Diamond, and the other one is for Cooper. And yes, there is space to add Poppy’s pod too! It’s worth noting that the pods are sturdy enough to doubly for storage and transportation of the pieces and characters. 380 pieces. Price: $49.99 – Available at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

It’s clear that the LEGO Trolls sets are targeting kids who are fans of the movies and characters. However, older LEGO fans may also want to take note of the tons of unique pieces and colors. It’s worth looking through the pictures to see what pieces you may find useful for your own building. And some of those characters are irresistibly cute too! I’m also including a series of video-reviews below, so you can see the sets in more detail.

LEGO Old Trafford Manchester United Stadium Review

by on February 25, 2020
in LEGO Exclusives

One of the new sets that was released last month is the massive #10272 LEGO Creator Expert Old Trafford Manchester United football stadium. It is a beautifully constructed set that would appeal not just to soccer fans, but also fans of LEGO Architecture. So, let’s take a closer look at this impressive structure.

First of all, we can celebrate the fact that according to the press-release of this set, it seems like LEGO is intending to release other sports stadiums under the LEGO Creator Expert line. This means that the sets will be focusing more on the building experience, architectural accuracy, and displayability of the models rather than the play experience of the old LEGO Sports line from the late 1990s and early 2000s. In other words, these sets will be for adults and serious sports enthusiasts. So, even if you’re not a fan of this particular stadium or team, you can look forward to other structures in the future. I assume this will depend on feedback on the #10272 LEGO Creator Expert Old Trafford Manchester United, and even more importantly, how well it sells.

From what I’m reading online, the set has been received with great enthusiasm. Although Manchester United is a British team, they have fans in other countries as well, and the stadium is an iconic structure of the sport that crosses the boundaries of countries and teams. In case you are not familiar with the stadium, here is a bit of summary from Wikipedia: Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, and the home of Manchester United. With a capacity of 74,879, it is the largest club football stadium (and second largest football stadium overall after Wembley Stadium) in the United Kingdom, and the eleventh-largest in Europe. Nicknamed “The Theatre of Dreams”, Old Trafford has been United’s home ground since 1910. The stadium’s record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town. Old Trafford has hosted FA Cup semi-finals, England fixtures, matches at the 1966 World Cup and Euro 96 and the 2003 Champions League Final, as well as rugby league’s annual Super League Grand Final, and the final of two Rugby League World Cups. It also hosted football matches at the 2012 Summer Olympics, including women’s international football for the first time in its history.

As far as the #10272 LEGO Creator Expert Old Trafford Manchester United set itself, as I mentioned above, it’s closer to LEGO Architecture sets in scale, style, density, and attention to detail, and it could also be compared to the #10234 LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House released back in 2013. The bottom line is that this set is not just a LEGO soccer stadium, but also an architectural marvel that can appeal to LEGO Architecture fans. No matter what size you look at it from, it’s packed with micro-scale but accurate details. Examining how different elements are used in such a non-traditional LEGO scale is a study in itself that’s worth looking into.

However, it’s going to be those who visited and familiar with Old Trafford that will cherish this set the most. All the little details that are packed into this 1:600 replica can bring back memories of rooting for their favorite team. With 3,898 pieces and an overall size of 6.5” (18.5cm) high, 18” (47cm) long, and 15” (39cm) wide, LEGO designers could jam in quite a bit of authentic details. And, to enthuse fans further, the instruction book includes lots of details about the history of both the stadium and the team. I think Manchester United fans have a right to be proud that LEGO decided to choose their stadium as the first large set like this.

I was a bit concerned that this set won’t sell well due to the fairly narrow niche, large size, and high price, but it seems like fans are very happy with it. This is a good sign that LEGO will likely continue with the series. In the video below by the BrickVault, you can see Old Trafford in all of its glory. Look at those gorgeously spread out beams on top!

If you are interested to check it out, the #10272 LEGO Old Trafford – Manchester United set is available directly from official LEGO stores and the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.
