LEGO sets have, increasingly in recent years, becomes a way for fans of third party IP – particulately Star Wars; Harry Potter; super heroes and more. We love to fill our shelves and living rooms with display pieces, that become talking points with out friends. In my house, Rivendell and smaller Star Wars sets occupy the main shelves in the living room, but the building experience for each of these was relatively short lived: a few days at most.

Today, the LEGO Group have announced a new range of supersized LEGO sets for super fans. These sets represent their biggest builds yet! These commanding display pieces will take weeks to complete and take up more space than might be considered practical. There is no doubt, however, that people will be talking about them: Certainly while they are being built and once they are on display. Perhaps less so while they occupying a storage unit in preparation for their disposal once your enthusiasm for the fandom dies away…. But perhaps I am getting ahead of things.

The first of these models is the75553 Supersized Tim Minion – also known as Big Tim – at 2.5m, is built up of a staggering 102,213 LEGO Pieces. Not only is the model a challenge to get through a door, so is the box: measuring 170x80x65 cm (5’7”x67.5”x26”).

I am somewhat surprised to see that the parts list consists of Yellow, Blue, Black, Grey , white and reddish brown bricks (mostly yellow – obviously). But none of the red or green parts that might be used internally to orient builders, This is in keeping with the trends we have seen in LEGO City, where we have seen internal elements return to the traditional 80s design model – where sets only included parts key to the colour scheme of the theme.

The instruction manual seems suitably epic, but I canot help but wonder just how it might challenge even the most enthusiastic of LEGO loving households. What do you think? You can read more about this commanding display piece with the wry smile on the official site here. But I’d love to know what you think of this product. One for you? Or do you prefer shorter term projects? Smaller Projects? Who or What would you llike to see immortalised in the next supersized set? Why not leave your comments below.
