Can't believe it's been a solid five months since the last LEGO Sonic wave! And while we got some important additions to the line, like Shadow and Knuckles, it's pretty clear we're ready for new sets to satiate our need for plastic bricks!
Luckily with the summer season steadily approaching, we won't have to wait much longer! LEGO influencer PenPlays managed to get the inside scoop on three new Sonic sets, and they're quite substantial, with unique twists on some old classics!
Note that we have no definitive word on piece count or price point on any of these sets.
First up, we have Knuckles and the Master Emerald Shrine! This set includes a nice build of Angel Island's signature alter to the Master Emerald... with no Master Emerald? Where'd it go?
You can see in the middle of a shrine, there is a black platform and grey supports meant to hold something else, most likely the Master Emerald included in December's Knuckles' Guardian Mech. So make sure you grab that big, red fighting machine to fully complete this diorama!
This set includes the same Amy Minifigure featured in Wave 1 of LEGO Sonic, but also new Knuckles Minifig sporting an angry scowl! The real star of the show though is a pretty large mini-build of the Egg Robo, adding a third figure to this unique set!
You can even launch grapes at him! Charming!
Next up is Tails' Adventure Boat. Another Green Hill set? Really? May be so, but the unique build more than makes up for the miniature set piece. We get a new Badnik build in the form of Jaws, and two minifigures! First we have Sonic, thankfully in a lifejacket to support his deathly fear of water. Secondly, there's Tails with a new winking expression to match the winking Sonic from previous sets! You even get an orange Speed Sphere!
Let's appreciate the boat, though! Its a long, stylish sports boat proudly donning the name of the Sea Fox II. That's right, LEGO has created a brand new iteration of the Sea Fox from Sonic Triple Trouble! Talk about a relative deep cut!
And do my eyes deceive me, or does that handle on the front use chrome bricks? You don't see those every day!
Last, but certainly not least is the one I'm sure is gonna sell out real quick! It's Super Sonic vs. Egg Drillster! Eggman is back, sporting a souped up version of his classic Emerald Hill boss from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, going up against the very first Super Sonic minifigure! Complete with a yellow Speed Sphere!
Additionally, you get Shadow, alongside all new mini-builds for an Egg Pawn and a G.U.N. Beetle!
But uh... computer. Enhance.
Why, it's a printed piece of MARIA! That's right, Maria is (kind of) in this toyline! Who would have thought?
Needless to say, this set is going to be a highlight of this wave. But what do you think is the best of this Summer leak? Are you excited to take on the Egg Drillster? Or are you ready to go on an aquatic adventure onboard the Sea Fox II?
...Maybe not that last part. Models do not float.
