Just when you think LEGO Group has created its best set, another one comes along to take its place. While the ranking for best LEGO sets is subjective, anything related to pop culture does trigger instinctive liking. The latest from the LEGO universe is a set dedicated to honing the unique skills of our favorite Marvel heroes.
Yes, we are talking of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning (a.k.a. Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters) from where all our present Marvel superheroes have graduated. The immersive 3,093-piece set for adult LEGO fans brings the X-Men universe to your living room shelf, giving company to the Avengers Tower. You won’t need mutant powers to assemble this one, rather you’ll need a lot of focus!
The Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion set features the iconic characters from the X-Men 97 animated series including wheelchair-ridden Professor X, Jean Grey’s new avatar, Gambit, Iceman, Bishop, Magneto, Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Rogue. The modular two-floor building has six individual sections that can be removed. Unlike some other LEGO building sets that are open from the back, this one is closed from all sides. That said the interiors are wholly furnished including the Cerebro, Lean Grey’s lab and Danger Room. Guarding the building is a huge Sentinel robot in case other superheroes on your shelf decide to stage an attack.
This is by far the biggest LEGO set dedicated to X-Men with intricate details like the Wolverine’s motorcycle or the exploding cupola. Just so that you don’t know, four of these minifigures are making their LEGO debut. The newbies are Professor X, Gambit, Iceman and Bishop. The LEGO Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion set is set for a wider release on November 4 for $330. If you are a LEGO Insider, you can your hands on one a little earlier on November 1 from the official website. Insiders picking it up from November 1 to 7 will get a complementary LEGO Marvel Cerebro.
It’s Wristwatch Wednesday on Yanko Design again, and today, I’m digging into a playful yet intriguing topic: LEGO luxury watches. Yes, you read that right. Imagine the iconic Rolex Submariner or Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in LEGO form. The world of fine timepieces meets the playful, nostalgic charm of LEGO blocks, resulting in creations as captivating as they are creative. It’s a topic that merges two worlds with a surprisingly big crossover—watch collectors and LEGO enthusiasts. Today, I’m taking you on a journey through these brick-built renditions and their real-life counterparts, showing what sets each apart and why they resonate deeply with LEGO enthusiasts and watch collectors.
The Art of LEGO and Horology: Why They Come Together So Well
There’s something surprisingly satisfying about seeing a luxury watch replicated in LEGO form. A luxury timepiece’s inherent precision and design complexity seem like an impossible fit with LEGO’s chunky, colorful blocks. Yet, that’s precisely what makes these LEGO versions so compelling. The real challenge is capturing the essence of luxury craftsmanship with plastic bricks that were never intended to mirror the intricate details of watchmaking. This playful paradox is why I, along with other fans of both LEGO and watches, find this concept so exciting.
Building miniature versions of real-life objects has always been a key appeal for LEGO enthusiasts. From cars to skyscrapers, the challenge lies in translating smooth, complicated forms into brick-like constructions. On the other hand, watch collectors appreciate the fine details—down to the way light catches the beveled edges of a Rolex or how an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak bracelet wraps around the wrist with a certain fluidity. So, how do these two seemingly different audiences come together here? For me, it’s the shared passion for craftsmanship—whether through the intricate mechanics of haute horology or the creative joy of a child’s building toy. Personally, I love seeing how both worlds strive for perfection in their own unique ways.
The LEGO Rolex Submariner vs. The Real Rolex Submariner
Let’s start with one of the most iconic watches: the Rolex Submariner. The real Submariner is famous for its black dial, rotating bezel, and robustness as a dive watch. It’s the timepiece you could wear while exploring underwater wrecks or dressed up for a night out. Crafted with surgical-grade steel, the real Submariner exudes quality, with precision engineering that ensures it’s waterproof to a depth of 300 meters.

Now compare this to its LEGO version. The LEGO Submariner isn’t going anywhere near water—its construction relies on plastic pieces snapping together, and no LEGO piece in the world is waterproof to 300 meters! But that’s not really the point, is it? What makes the LEGO version so charming is how it captures the silhouette, the bezel’s ridges, and even the dial layout—albeit in a chunky, exaggerated way. It’s a caricature, a playful homage to a watch that has come to define what a dive watch should be.
Rolex Submariner Date Oystersteel 41 mm
The authentic Rolex Submariner feels weighty and precise on the wrist, with decades of refinement packed into its Oyster case. The LEGO version, meanwhile, is like a desktop conversation piece. If you’re thinking functionality, forget it; it’s about capturing the spirit of an icon in a different, more approachable way. Whether you’re an experienced diver or someone who’s never set foot near a dive tank, there’s something whimsical about seeing this watch, renowned for its utility, transformed into a plastic brick sculpture.
LEGO Daytona vs. Real Rolex Daytona: Revving Up in Different Ways
Next is the Rolex Daytona, a watch synonymous with racing, speed, and precision. The genuine Daytona emphasizes chronograph functionality, tachymeter bezels, and its deep connection with the fast-paced world of motorsports—famously tied to Paul Newman and the thrilling 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s a timepiece that measures milliseconds with ease, and the quality of its movement, the Caliber 4130, sets it apart as one of the best chronographs in the market.
AI-Generated LEGO x Rolex Daytona – Oystersteel
So what happens when you translate this into LEGO? The LEGO Daytona doesn’t have an automatic movement or sub-dials that actually work, of course. What it does have is a beautiful attention to aesthetics—each button, the ridged bezel, and even the tachymeter markers are cleverly depicted in plastic bricks. It’s not functional in the horological sense, but its form still captures the essence of the Daytona—a nod to its role as a tool for timing races, now transformed into a playful, stationary model.
In comparing the two, the genuine Daytona is like a precision tool—built for racing and made to the highest standards. The LEGO version is like a trophy for the shelf of someone who adores both motorsports and creative LEGO projects. It’s a piece for those who are in on the joke and who appreciate the paradox of recreating a serious, high-precision device with something as low-tech as LEGO.
Day-Date in Gold: LEGO vs. The Real Presidential Timepiece
The Rolex Day-Date, often referred to by enthusiasts as the ‘President,’ earned this nickname because numerous world leaders, including U.S. Presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson, have famously worn it. However, it’s important to note that Rolex officially calls it the Day-Date, while the ‘President’ specifically refers to the style of the bracelet. Introduced in 1956, it was the first wristwatch to display the day and the date in windows on the dial. It is a watch that exudes luxury. Its gold finish, complete with diamond-studded dials and a fluted bezel, is the kind of thing that screams sophistication. The real Day-Date is often the timepiece of choice for world leaders and celebrities—a statement of power, elegance, and success. Imagine the President of the United States sporting a Rolex Day-Date Presidential watch made from LEGO—it’s a whimsical image that perfectly captures the playful spirit of these brick-built renditions.

Now imagine that luxury recreated in LEGO bricks. The LEGO version retains the gold—at least visually. It captures the blingy bezel, the iconic President bracelet, and even the day and date windows. Of course, it’s not solid gold; it’s just carefully chosen yellow and white bricks snapped together. But somehow, it captures the essence—the LEGO Day-Date feels playful yet fancy, almost as if it’s poking fun at its own luxury. It’s for the person who loves the Day-Date’s symbolism and has the sense of humor to appreciate it in LEGO form.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak: A Blocky Tribute
Few watches are as iconic as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, with its octagonal bezel and exposed screws. The actual Royal Oak is famous for its industrial elegance—designed by Gérald Genta, it’s a game-changer that brought the luxury sports watch category to life. Crafted from stainless steel, it highlights the juxtaposition of polished and brushed surfaces, giving it a distinctive look that’s rugged and refined.
AI-Generated LEGO x Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
The LEGO Royal Oak, on the other hand, trades brushed steel for grey bricks. It still maintains the unmistakable octagonal bezel and the integrated bracelet, but the intricacy is reduced to geometric simplicity. The Tapisserie pattern on the dial, which usually involves meticulous craftsmanship, is represented with flat studs—it’s rudimentary, but that’s the beauty of it. Instead of the weighty presence of stainless steel, you get the lightweight, almost comical feel of stacked plastic. The LEGO Royal Oak pays tribute in the best way it can, with a bit of playful irreverence.

Cartier Santos in LEGO Form: Squaring Elegance with Fun
The Cartier Santos is another classic—a watch designed for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. Its square face and exposed screws make it instantly recognizable. The real Cartier Santos epitomizes refined French elegance, with Roman numerals and a heritage that goes back over a century.
AI-Generated LEGO x Cartier Santos
The LEGO version plays with these elements, keeping the shape, the exposed screws, and the Roman numerals but doing so with bright plastic that is anything but elegant in the traditional sense. It’s a tongue-in-cheek recreation, one that delights in its blocky squareness, almost as if Cartier’s first wristwatch were reimagined for a child’s toybox. It takes something meant to be worn as a marker of luxury and turns it into a fun, decorative piece—a way for fans of both brands to connect in a quirky, unexpected way.

Why LEGO and Luxury Watches Work So Well Together
So why does this concept work? What makes these LEGO versions resonate with both watch collectors and LEGO fans? The answer lies in the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity. Authentic watches like the Submariner or the Daytona are meticulously crafted, precision-engineered, and timeless in their design. Conversely, LEGO thrives on creativity, turning complex real-life objects into simple yet evocative forms.
For watch collectors, seeing a LEGO version of a favorite timepiece is like viewing it from a fresh perspective—celebrating its form rather than its function. There’s also an undeniable element of nostalgia; many collectors grew up with LEGO, and these models bring a sense of childlike wonder while respecting the original design. For LEGO fans, the challenge of recreating an intricate watch demonstrates the versatility of LEGO bricks, proving that simple blocks can capture something incredibly sophisticated.
This crossover appeal transforms these watches from wearable precision instruments into decorative conversation starters. The actual versions are meant to be worn and experienced for their craftsmanship and mechanical precision. The LEGO versions, however, are displayed as celebrations of design, transforming a high-end object into an accessible, humorous, and charming representation. They bring the luxury and accuracy of timepieces into a more playful light, making them resonate deeply with both communities.
A Challenge to Watch Brands: LEGO Sets the Bar
Don’t get me wrong, the LEGO versions of these watches aren’t replacements for the real thing—far from it. They don’t have the sapphire crystals, the precise movements, or the finely engineered components that make luxury watches so remarkable. But what if they did? Imagine a collaboration between LEGO and the finest watchmakers in the world. If brands like Bugatti, McLaren, and even Formula 1 teams can create real machines with LEGO, why can’t luxury timepiece brands do the same? This is a challenge to the watch industry—bring the craftsmanship, the detail, and the imagination together. Let’s see a working luxury watch created in partnership with LEGO—a true celebration of both worlds.
For LEGO fans and watch collectors alike, these models celebrate design—both the intricate, sophisticated design of the original timepieces and the imaginative, blocky reinterpretations in LEGO form. It’s a concept that brings people together, transcending the boundaries between childhood nostalgia and adult appreciation for craftsmanship. And at the end of the day, isn’t that what great design—whether in LEGO or luxury watches—is all about?
It’s pretty amazing how many things you can make if you’re given the right tools and materials. LEGO blocks have inspired creativity and shaped minds for generations in the physical world, while sandbox games like Minecraft have pulled the same feat in the digital world. These two creative platforms, in turn, have inspired many other toys and experiences that try to bring this freedom of creation to other designs. This particular design concept, for example, has a similar vibe to LEGO but caters to the young and young at heart who want to build their ideal doll houses.
LEGO blocks started out as literal block-shaped pieces that you could combine in different ways to create structures, animals, vehicles, and anything your mind can imagine. More specialized pieces came later on that somewhat deviated from squares and rectangles, including wheels and gears, but the overall aesthetic remained the same. The same is true with the game Minecraft, where you can build almost anything imaginable, such as a primitive computer, but still look blocky overall.
BLUID-IT is a design concept that tries to expand those shapes to allow for more expressive combinations. The goal, however, isn’t just to build anything but to build dollhouses specifically. There are already plenty of dollhouses, most of them designed for kids, that allow a bit of customization, but you can only use what comes with the package, or maybe buy some additional accessories. And almost all of them revolve around a specific theme or style.
But what if you had hundreds of small objects to choose from, ranging from pillars to spiral staircases to magnetic walls? You can, in theory, build almost any house interior possible, one that can even span more than just a single level. No two houses would be identical, unless you intentionally copied, of course, allowing greater freedom in designing the perfect living space for miniature people.
It’s not completely free-form, though. The aluminum platforms and walls have perforations where you can insert tiny walls, furniture, and other pieces. This makes the design easier to use for younger audiences, giving them some guidelines to follow. It may even be useful as a tool for interior designers or architects, giving them a quick and easy way to create models for their desired arrangements as well.
As someone who has never been able to finish a Rubik’s Cube, I’m always fascinated by those who are able to do it in seconds. There are videos on YouTube and on Reels where you can observe them while they do it or they even give tips on how to become faster. This toy is celebrating its 50th anniversary and what better way than to make it even more difficult for people to do so by creating the world’s tiniest Rubik’s Cube.
Designer: Megahouse and Iriso Precision
The two companies have collaborated to create the smallest metal Rubik’s Cube and this has been verified by Guiness World Records. It is 1/1000th of the regular 3D puzzle, at least the 3×3 sized-one. It’s so small that you might need to use a tweezer or something small like that to finish the cube. Well, unless you have really tiny hands that you can do the turns and shifts of the colored cube. But to give you an idea how small it is, it is the same width as three rice grains.
Each of the squares of the main body is 0.16 cm with the length at 0.50 cm. These parts are made by cutting metal with the machine that can make ultra-fine trimming processes with the technique called “micro cutting”. They are cut and shaped by the machine but they are assembled by hand to be able to put them together precisely and still be used just like the regular Rubik’s Cube.
The middle part has the cross design of the original so the other parts can still be rotated. It even has the Rubik’s logo at the center which you cannot see with the naked eye. It has an aluminum base which is actually way bigger than the tiny cube. You place it in the middle like a trophy, just so you’ll be able to actually see it.
Four years ago, a father-son duo won the Grand Prize in the global LEGO competition Music To Our Ears! for their LEGO rendition of the Daft Punk Pyramid Stage from Coachella 2006. Although the MOC (My Own Creation) won the award, it wasn’t selected by LEGO’s internal team to be turned into a box set. However, the duo responsible for the design are hoping to Get Lucky by submitting this entry One More Time, and they’re banking on support from Around The World to help turn this one-off piece into a set that LEGO and music enthusiasts can buy and play with!
Designer: Robotrock
Not many people knew that Daft Punk’s 2006 Coachella set would be the last time they headlined the event. When the duo took the iconic pyramid-shaped stage back in 2006, they set what’s still considered a gold standard in Coachella performances – something that even nearly 2 decades later is difficult to match. However, being the elusive robots they are, Daft Punk never really decided to pull off such a feat again, and they disbanded in 2021, after 28 years together. The Coachella Pyramid is an iconic part of music history, and Robotrock – the moniker behind the LEGO set – did full justice to it with their 2,000-brick recreation of this moment.
The set features the two artists on a colorful pyramid-shaped stage, with lights inside the pyramid glowing as the duo performed music. The two artists are perched on their platform, dressed in their robot-shaped garb, while working on the mysterious electronic console that helps them produce, remix, and perform their music.
“This project began in 2020 as a fun father-son collaboration, growing into something epic as we found ourselves needing a creative escape during lockdown,” says Robotrock. “Both huge Daft Punk fans, this build is a fusion of 2 passions. I spent my teenage years listening to Homework on my Walkman, while my son’s 1st favorite baby song was Get Lucky. It felt only natural to blend our love for Daft Punk’s music with our love for LEGO. My then 8-year-old son started with a prototype built from the bricks we had at home, and I expanded on it digitally.”
The centerpiece of the design—a rotating box of transparent bricks inside a pyramid—is powered by a motor, with a set of lights dangling inside to recreate that iconic Daft Punk Alive 2007 pyramid. This 2000-piece set was a real challenge. Lego bricks aren’t typically used to create triangular shapes, so we had to get creative in finding ways to make all those angles fit together.
LEGO builders are very meticulous, and abide by a strict code of conduct to ensure bricks aren’t used in ‘illegal’ ways to create MOCs or My Own Creations. Here, Robotrock points out that LEGO doesn’t have an official Daft Punk retail set, which means the helmets being shown in the MOC can’t be bought off the shelf. Although this would mean they’re an ‘illegal’ creation, Robotrock points out that there’s a technical legality in their design since Pharrell’s upcoming LEGO biopic, Piece By Piece, features LEGO minifigures of Daft Punk too!
The LEGO Ideas Daft Punk Coachella Pyramid is currently a submission on the LEGO Ideas forum, where fans and enthusiasts can vote for their favorite fan-made LEGO creations. With enough votes, the LEGO Ideas team reviews the design and decides whether to turn it into a retail box set or not. As a massive Daft Punk fan myself, I sincerely hope they do! You too can vote for the LEGO Ideas Daft Punk Coachella Pyramid on the LEGO Ideas website here.

Wheels That Tell a Story
The interchangeable tire set is a detail that speaks to the thoughtfulness of this collaboration. The wheels are designed to reflect the technical precision of F1 while maintaining the fun flair of Hot Wheels. Each tire features Pirelli’s “P Zero” branding, emphasizing its role as the official tire supplier of Formula 1. This ensures the model’s authenticity and direct connection to the real-world sport. This branding lends an air of authenticity as if the miniature car has just rolled off the paddock of a Grand Prix weekend.

The color coding of the tires—red for soft, yellow for medium, and white for hard—perfectly mirrors the real tire strategies used in Formula 1. As Emily Prazer, chief commercial officer of Formula 1, put it, ‘The exciting collaboration will bring together the adrenaline of motor racing and the excitement of toy cars, providing opportunities to see the fine details that go into an F1 car, all in the palm of your hand.’ This combination of detail and play makes it an immersive experience. This adds another layer of depth for collectors, giving them a hands-on connection to the sport’s tactical nuances. The tire detail doesn’t stop there; each tire features an industrial, machined aesthetic with small rivet-like details around the central hub. It’s a rugged, functional look that pays homage to the no-nonsense engineering of an F1 car, offering just the right balance of realism and fantasy.

The Ultimate Tire Rack Accessory
The tire rack that comes with this set is a thoughtfully designed display piece right in your living room. As Stanichi mentioned, ‘We have put together a program that allows kids to replicate the thrill of F1 racing where they can drive like the pros and engages with our loyal communities on a global scale.’ This sentiment shines through in the tire rack design, making the entire set feel complete, like a miniature slice of a real F1 paddock.
Image: Hot Wheels x F1
The red F1 logo stamped on the tire rack seamlessly complements the rest of the color scheme, creating a cohesive visual identity throughout. This display element is a key reason why this is a complete collector’s piece that tells a story, from the track to the pit lane.

Precision Meets Play and A Celebration of Racing Passion
Hot Wheels’ collaboration with Formula 1 creates a model that reflects the intricacies of motorsport. The aerodynamic front wing, featuring Hot Wheels flames, and the halo device are designed to reflect the performance-focused nature of Formula 1 cars, emphasizing safety and speed. The model features a full-metal body and chassis, giving it a satisfying weight that makes it feel substantial in hand. The metallic silver paint shimmers under the light, adding a level of detail you’d expect from a display model, not just a toy.

Now the richest woman in the music business (and the second richest musician lagging only behind Jay-Z), Taylor Swift deserves everything she’s attained. Sure, you might not love her music, you might not care for her entirely – but Taylor’s built an entire empire solely on her music skills. While other artists have diverged into building streaming platforms and record labels like Jay-Z, starting cosmetics businesses like Rihanna and Selena Gomez, or even working for fashion brands like Pharrell and Kanye West, Taylor’s net worth is SOLELY tied to her music. With her successful Eras Tour coming to a grand conclusion this year after 2 full years of back-to-back touring, it’s only fitting that she gets her own LEGO kit – even if it’s only fan-made. Designed by the folks at Minibrick Productions, the LEGO Ideas Eras Tour Poster is a seemingly flat piece of LEGO artwork modeled on the Eras Tour poster… but remove each individual thumbnail from the artwork and you’re greeted by a minifigure of Taylor dressed for that era! The poster contains 10 eras with 10 dedicated Taylor Swift minifigures.
The entire LEGO Ideas set comes made from 1,410 bricks, featuring a minimalist yet instantly recognizable depiction of the Eras poster. You’ve got all the eras on it, from Taylor’s debut album ‘Taylor Swift’ to the last album to debut before her tour, ‘Midnights’. It’s a fairly simple build, to be honest, with quite a few bricks going towards the artwork, as well as the frame. The result, however, is both intricate AND interactive, as pulling apart the thumbnail for any of the given eras reveals a tiny diorama featuring mama Swift herself.
The dioramas are all ‘taylor’-made to fit each era. It starts with her in her Teal dress for her debut album and era, moving onto icons like the casual outfit for Red, a black-donned Taylor with a snake for Reputation, Taylor in her iconic bodysuit for the Lover era, and the ‘bejeweled’ suit for Midnights. All the dioramas have tiny icons of the eras too, from clocks to guitars, snakes, and even the plaid pattern seen in the Evermore era.
“This brick-built poster will earn its rightful place on any LEGO lover and Swiftie’s wall!” says Minibrick Productions, who’s also responsible for other iconic LEGO sets like the LEGO Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera, and even the LEGO Interstellar Miller’s Planet scene. Minibrick Productions’ current submission is gathering votes on the LEGO Ideas forum, where enthusiasts can vote for their favorite fan-made creations. With nearly 6,000 votes as of writing this, the LEGO Ideas Taylor Swift Eras Poster is well on its way to hitting the 10,000 vote mark, following which it’ll be reviewed by LEGO’s internal team and hopefully turned into an official box-set! If you’d like to see that happen, cast your vote on the LEGO Ideas website now!
Many renditions of the Batmobiles have kept us all hooked to Bruce Wayne’s crime-fighting antics. Undeniably the 1966 TV show featuring the superhero’s ride is the best of them all, and now you have the chance to own a LEGO version of Bruce’s favorite crime-fighting machine.
This 1,822-piece scaled-down replica of the cape crusader’s classic ’60s Batmobile recreates the real ones’ sleek lines and curves to perfection. The interiors are extensively detailed on both the Batman and Robin’s side. To give you an idea of the level of detailing, the opening trunk has a mobile crime-fighting Bat Computer stashed in there. The latest version of the classic Batmobile has a minifigure of Adam West’s legendary Bright Knight with its own display base. Not surprising the superhero poses with a batarang.
Compared to some previous LEGO Batmobile builds, this one has more intricate detailing. When fully assembled, it measures 19 inches long and seven inches wide. Everything about this pursuit vehicle is rigged with bat gadgets. There are molded windshields, a rear jet engine, movable wheels, and an informative plaque to complete the display. In the driver’s seat is Adam’s legendary crime fighter in all his might, and looking intimidating with the painted eyebrows on the cowl. The only thing missing is a can of Bat-Shark Repellent.
The $150 price tag is a bit surprising given the size of the completed LEGO build. Compare that to the likes of The Legend of Zelda Deku Tree or other smaller sets, this one seems to have hit the sweet spot. LEGO Group is pitching it as Batman: The Classic TV Series Batmobile. If I had to choose one of the LEGO Batmobile versions, this one would be it.

Minecraft® is still one of the most popular games right now, both for adults and kids (sometimes they even play together!). And it’s been pretty popular for a while now as we’re already celebrating the video game’s 15th anniversary. If you’re a fan of the sandbox game and you also collect LEGO® sets, then you’ll be happy with this latest building set that celebrates the best of both worlds.
LEGO® Minecraft® The Crafting Table is a building set that’s specifically built for adult fans of the game that brings several elements into the “real world” so you can literally build your favorite Minecraft-ian things. It recreates the iconic crafting table that players know very well. You get biomes, mobs, and even hidden Easter eggs in the building set as well as video components through the app.
The building set comes with 5 mini build modules which features 12 biomes (the Deep Dark, Lush Cave, Swamp, Plains, Forest, Cherry Grove, Desert, Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Dripstone Cave, Ice Spikes and River) and has 8 microfigures (Steve, Alex, a skeleton, witch, Creeper, villager, cow and a pig) that you can detach and attach to whatever you’re building.
The buildable video-game LEGO® set also has some things like underground scenes, stickers with in-game phrases, and hidden Easter eggs that will excite even the most veteran of Minecraft players. There is also digital building instructions on the LEGO® Builder app if you need a little bit of virtual help. It costs around $90 which isn’t bad for a LEGO® set.
