LEGO Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle 75689

I received this product free of charge from Influenster in exchange for my honest review, and let me tell you—this Wicked-themed LEGO set was absolutely magical to watch being built in our house. My husband and our 10-year-old granddaughter have always built LEGO sets together. Any LEGO gift she’s received over the years has been built side-by-side with Grandad, and it’s a tradition they truly love and look forward to continuing year after year. This set was perfect for them because it features two separate buildings, allowing one person to build the Emerald City while the other builds Kiamo Ko Castle—or they can build together at the same time. This LEGO set is incredibly unique. It includes Glinda and Elphaba minidolls, and it’s the first LEGO Wicked toy to feature a flying monkey figure. There are so many authentic details that Wicked fans will absolutely love—hidden surprises like the map of Oz, the Grimmerie, Glinda’s pull-down bed, and secret compartments for Elphaba to disappear into. We also loved the rainbow bridge that connects the two castles. Not only is this set fun to build, but it also provides hours of imaginative role-playing once completed. The pieces come in numbered bags for easy assembly, and there are two instruction booklets—one for each castle—which are clear and easy to follow. The set contains 860 pieces and is recommended for ages 9 and up. A truly magical set for Wicked fans and LEGO lovers alike. AD | GIFTED
