Five ways LEGO Icons 10350 Tudor Corner is a distinctly British build
LEGO Icons 10350 Tudor Corner represents a distinctly British addition to the Modular Buildings Collection and here are five reasons why.
The LEGO Group today officially revealed the next addition to the annually-expanding Modular Buildings Collection in the shape of 10350 Tudor Corner. The 3,266-piece LEGO Icons set will be priced at £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99, launches on January 1, 2025 and is one of three upcoming sets to support non-visible disabilities.
10350 Tudor Corner looks to offer something very different from previous LEGO Icons releases, thanks to it being one of the most British builds to date. Even at a glance it’s not hard to identify the model’s country of origin, with multiple nods to its cultural roots and history.
With that in mind, here are five reasons why 10350 Tudor Corner is a truly distinctive British-inspired LEGO creation, one that appears to wear its heritage with plenty of pride.
1 – Tudor-style architecture
In addition to the major hint in the LEGO Icons set’s name, it’s 10350 Tudor Corner’s steeply-pitched gable roof that looks to be one of its main highlights. The Tudor-style architecture employs red, black and white elements to great effect, along with rustic chimney stacks, a brick and timber façade and even gold Battle Droid arms for railings, the first time we’ve seen the piece in that particular colour.
2 – Haberdasher’s and clockmaker’s workshop
10350 Tudor Corner boasts two very British establishments, a haberdashery and a clockmaker’s workshop. The former sits on the ground floor level, with the blue, white and grey shop adorned with multiple hats and umbrellas. Sat above it is the workshop, packed with all manner of clocks, watches and time pieces, plus a desk for the clockmaker to tinker away with his repairs.
3 – The Old Guarded Inn
What would a British Modular Buildings Collection set be without a traditional pub? The Old Guarded Inn is definitely one in all but name (although the set description refers to it as a ‘restaurant’). It serves a variety of unspecified drinks to its clientele, but no mention of alcohol, of course. It’s worth noting that the pub’s exterior signage also sees the return of our old horned friend, the humble LEGO goat.
4 – Chimney sweep minifigure
As most Americans know, all Londoners either speak like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins or know at least one chimney sweep. The good news is that 10350 Tudor Corner includes such a stereotypical minifigure in its eight character line-up, complete with cog-based brush for sorting out those filthy rustic chimney stacks.
5 – Pub grub
What would a pub be without some decent British grub/food? From the official images released so far, we can definitely spot fish on the menu, but there’s no sign of any accompanying chips (although a nod to the original concept for the LEGO Icons set is included). However, a plate of what may be egg, cheese and bacon does pop up in a few pics, suggesting plenty of traditional stodgy items can also be ordered.
10350 Tudor Corner is due to be released on January 1, 2025 for £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99. The LEGO Icons set will also be getting its own unique GWP, with 40757 Corner Kiosk available for Insiders from January 1 to 3 and then for everyone else from January 4 to 7 (while stocks last).
