LEGO Ideas Italian Riviera gets rumoured price, release date, and more

LEGO Ideas fan designer Alex Sahli’s The Italian Riviera is rumoured to be coming out this summer, with an expected price and piece count.

When it comes to LEGO Ideas, we always have a good idea of what’s coming, thanks to the nature of fan designs being selected to become real LEGO Ideas sets. Alex’s The Italian Riviera was approved on August 5, 2024, so we knew it was coming – and now early rumours suggest it could be hitting shelves close to a year after its approval date.

Thanks to the latest rumours from Instagram user fateful_04, the fan-designed set is now said to be releasing under the set number 21359 The Italian Riviera, expected to retail for $299.99 for 3,251 pieces in August 2025. That’s a price and piece count to rival even the largest of modular buildings and – purely speculating here – it would suggest that we’ll get an astonishing level of detail in the LEGO Ideas set.

The original fan design featured a collection of local businesses: a gelato shop, a florist, and a fish market, as well as a second-story living space. Alex also included six minifigures in the original submission to populate the small slice of Italian life, as well as a number of small animals. The colourful streets are cobbled with LEGO plates and each building is a different pastel colour, ranging from pink to yellow.

Of course, LEGO Ideas sets can always be subject to change and the design that Alex submitted could be different from what ends up on shelves. Still, the rumoured piece count is about 1,000 pieces more than Alex’s original one, so if that proves true, we could even get much more than originally planned.

Take all of this with the usual pinch of salt for now, as we won’t know for sure when the Italian Riviera will make its debut or in what form until there’s an official review from the LEGO Group.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
