LEGO: New Mickey and Minnie Brick Sketches
It was my birthday recently and I was lucky enough to receive several new LEGO sets from my beloved boys. Now, usually, my LEGO sets come from the Star Wars galaxy. Which is awesome. But tonight, as I see a couple of new Disney-themed sets.
And I think I may expand my LEGO repertoire.
LEGO Brick Sketches
Blair Altland of 9to5toys.com posted:
LEGO’s effort to continue building out its collection of brick-built art in 2021 has already seen a refreshed customizable mosaic hit the scene, as well as a pair of licensed kits. But today, we’re getting two new versions of its miniature works of art, with new Disney-themed Brick Sketches.
Brick Sketches were first introduced back in 2020 alongside its flagship mosaic models. The builds aren’t as flat as the more expensive options, with these featuring more cartoony aesthetics and a layered design that adds some extra depth into the picture. All of that makes the latest additions to the Brick Sketches line feel right at home, as there are now Mickey and Minnie Mouse kits on the way.
Both of the builds share pretty similar designs, with each of the new art builds standing 5 inches high and measures 3 inches wide. The Mickey Mouse Brick Sketch stacks up to 118 pieces, while Minnie clocks in with a larger assortment of 140 bricks. Both are paired with a kickstand that lets you prop them up on a desk, but they can also be hung on the wall, too.

Heading over to LEGO.com, we caught views of the new sets and came away pretty impressed:
