LEGO sets based on films and musicals have become incredibly popular, offering fans a unique way to celebrate and engage with their favourite stories. From iconic movie franchises like LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, and LEGO Jurassic World to beloved musicals such as Disney's Frozen and The Lion King, LEGO brings these magical worlds to life through creative and detailed brick-building. These sets allow builders to recreate famous scenes, characters, and settings, adding an interactive element to their love for the films or musicals. Whether it's building Hogwarts Castle, the Millennium Falcon, or Elsa's Ice Palace, LEGO has mastered the art of combining entertainment with hands-on creativity, making these sets a hit with fans of all ages. And now we are eagerly awaiting the new LEGO Wicked sets which are set for release later in the year to coincide with release of the film of the musical. The beloved Wicked musical, now reimagined for the big screen, stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman with green skin, and Ariana Grande as Glinda, a charming yet privileged figure. Their unlikely friendship takes them on extraordinary adventures, eventually leading them to fulfil their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Read on to find out more about the new Wicked LEGO sets.
The LEGO Group and Universal Products & Experiences have unveiled the full line-up of LEGO® Wicked sets, inspired by the highly anticipated musical film, hitting theatres in November 2024. These four new sets capture the magic of the story with mini-dolls of iconic characters such as Glinda, Elphaba, The Wizard, and more. The sets will officially be available starting October 1st, 2024, with pre-orders open as of now (though delivery by bubble or broomstick is not included!).
Among the exciting releases is the LEGO Wicked Elphaba & Glinda Figures set. This set invites fans to engage with the story through a special QR code, allowing them to follow along and build to the iconic song "Defying Gravity." The set includes Elphaba’s broom, Glinda’s purse, and crown, and a buildable base that transforms the set from a play experience into a display piece.
LEGO enthusiasts can also bring the Emerald City to life with the LEGO Wicked Welcome to Emerald City tower set, featuring five mini-dolls—Glinda, Elphaba, The Wizard, Madame Morrible, and Fiyero—and a stunning view of the famed city. Additionally, the LEGO Wicked Glinda & Elphaba’s Dormitory set lets fans recreate the dorm room with a suitcase-style design that opens to reveal the room. The set also features a hidden QR code that triggers the beloved song "Popular" from the film, allowing the characters to perform the iconic scene.
Another highlight is the LEGO Wicked Glinda, Elphaba & Nessarose at Shiz University set, which includes a detailed sailboat with golden accents and a hinged pink sail. The two-story university building is filled with balconies, study areas, and intricate details, where fans can follow Glinda as she arrives at the prestigious university and meets Elphaba and Nessarose.
“I’m truly excited that we can finally reveal our line-up of LEGO Wicked sets” said Raquel Ojeda Gregorio, LEGO Wicked Design Lead at the LEGO Group. “I am a big fan of the Wicked story, so it was an honor for me to get to work as part of an amazing team to recreate some of the unique locations, characters and storylines from the magical world of Oz. We chose some heartwarming moments from the film, so fans can bring a part of the story home and defy gravity using LEGO bricks.”
The LEGO Wicked sets are available for pre-order now at LEGO.com/themes/wicked/about and will be in LEGO stores worldwide starting October 1st.
