More details on rumoured LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 2023 sets
We now have piece counts for all five sets in the rumoured LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog theme, which is said to mix elements from both Super Mario and LEGO Ideas.
One of several new and returning themes apparently on the cards for 2023, LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog will apparently act as a spiritual successor to this year’s 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone. It wouldn’t be the first time a LEGO Ideas set has spawned an entire theme (we’re looking at you, LEGO Minecraft), although Sonic did technically debut in the LEGO Dimensions video game.
Building on initial rumours of five sets retailing between $29.99 and $99.99 in the US, Instagram user 1414falconfan now reports (via brick_clicker) that the models will follow in the footsteps of the blue blur’s LEGO Ideas set, offering buildable courses that can be combined with one another, a la LEGO Super Mario’s interactive expansion sets.

They’ll apparently differ from the Nintendo-inspired theme in one key way, though: where LEGO Super Mario uses brick-built characters and specialty digital figures, LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog’s sets will reportedly be minifigure-scale. That makes perfect sense with one eye on 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone, which may also end up being compatible with these sets.
According to brick_clicker, the 2023 sets will include a brick-built launcher that can propel minifigures (in clear balls) around the courses, offering a level of interactive gameplay. There’s still no word on when exactly they’ll launch – if they exist at all, and they should be taken lightly until confirmed – but the same source has at least provided piece counts for the prospective sets.

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
