New Wave, New Speed – August’s LEGO Sonic Line-Up.
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog has been racing across our display shelves ever since 2023’s Green Hill Zone Ideas set (21331) proved that classic 16-bit nostalgia clicks together beautifully in studs and plates. Last year’s wave - Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge, Tails’ Workshop & Tornado Plane and the gravity-defying Death Egg Robot - cemented the blue hedgehog as a breakout LEGO theme, delivering high-octane play features and cheeky Easter eggs for long-time gamers in equal measure. This August the throttle cranks higher with two fresh sets that look determined to keep our rings—and VIP points—spinning.
Team Sonic Command Truck & Knuckles vs. Egg Crusher Mech.
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic the Hedgehop Team Sonic Command Truck (77006)
The larger of the pair is Team Sonic Command Truck (77006), a chunky rig that doubles as a mobile mission hub. On the outside it resembles a beefy semi with bright game-accurate colour blocking, but lift off the cab (there’s room for both Sonic and Tails up front) and swing open the side wall to reveal an operations bunker outfitted with screens, tools and a movable stud-launcher turret. The cargo bay hides an ingenious ramp-and-plunger mechanism that can fire Tails’ ATV straight into pursuit mode—perfect for ambushing the mischievous Badnik duo Burrobot and Caterkiller while Metal Sonic prowls nearby. At just over 27 cm long, the truck is big enough for deep role-play yet portable enough to survive a school-bag adventure, making it a tempting “hero set” for kids who want to take their Sonic world on the road.
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog - Knuckles vs. Dr. Eggman Egg Crusher Mech
Smaller in piece count but no less dramatic is Knuckles vs. Dr. Eggman Egg Crusher Mech (77005). Here the spotlight falls on a six-inch-tall, fully poseable mech that channels Eggman’s flair for egg-shaped over-engineering. The cockpit pops open to seat the mad doctor, whose mechanical marvel swings an enormous spinning claw and unleashes a rotating six-stud blaster—ideal for mid-battle flurries of transparent projectiles. Knuckles the Echidna thrusts into the fray armed with nothing but his fists, three gold rings and two Chaos Emeralds hidden among a small slice of jungle terrain. A lever-powered catapult flings boulders toward the mech, while a micro-hoverboard lets Eggman stage a hasty retreat if the going gets rough. The set’s compact footprint belies an impressive range of cinematic poses, making it a natural “boss fight” companion to the wider Sonic line-up.
Final Thoughts
Both newcomers integrate seamlessly with the loops, spheres and palm trees of earlier releases, so existing collections will fold them in without a hitch. The Command Truck emphasises modular storytelling and on-the-go play, whereas the Egg Crusher Mech delivers display presence and that classic “last health bar” tension. We’ll put each kit through its paces with full, in-depth reviews once they hit shelves in August, but our early impressions are nothing short of electrifying. If you’ve been saving up rings for your next build, keep these on your radar—Sonic’s latest LEGO levels look set to be absolute corkers.
