Ah, yes, the Blue Sea…or should we say, the Blue-tiful cash grab 💰! LEGO, in its infinite wisdom (or lack thereof 🤔), has decided to bless us with One Piece sets based on the Netflix adaptation. Because, you know, the anime wasn’t already milked dry enough 🥛.
Netflix, the company that cancels shows faster than you can say “Going Merry,” has teamed up with LEGO to bring us these brick-tastic abominations. I mean, “iconic scenes” from the live-action adaptation? More like “scenes we’d rather forget” 💀. But hey, at least Eiichiro Oda’s bank account is getting fatter 🤑.
Seven sets, folks! Seven! Because who wouldn’t want to relive the magic of the Arlong Park battle in LEGO form? Or better yet, spend hundreds of dollars to build a plastic version of the Going Merry 🚢 that will inevitably end up collecting dust in your mom’s basement 🏚️.
And let’s talk about those minifigures. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji, all in glorious LEGO form. I’m sure they’ll look exactly like their live-action counterparts…which is to say, not at all 🤡. But hey, at least you can pose them dramatically while they fight against the forces of boredom 😴.
Here’s the breakdown of these “must-have” sets:
#75640: The Baratie Floating Restaurant – 3402pcs for $329.99 💸: Because nothing says “delicious seafood” like a pile of plastic bricks. I’m sure Zeff would be proud…or maybe just seasick 🤢.
#75639: The Going Merry Pirate Ship – 1376pcs for $139.99 🚢: Relive the magic of sailing the Grand Line…in your living room! Just be careful not to step on it, or you’ll be singing a different tune 🎶.
#75638: Battle at Arlong Park – 926pcs for $79.99 🦈: Recreate the epic battle against Arlong and his fish-men! Just don’t expect the LEGO version to be any less cheesy than the live-action one 🧀.
#75637: Buggy the Clown’s Circus Tent – 573pcs for $54.99 🎪: Step right up and witness the amazing Buggy the Clown! Guaranteed to be more entertaining than the actual circus 🤹.
#75636: Windmill Village Hut – 299pcs for $29.99 🏡: The humble beginnings of the Pirate King! Now you can own a piece of history…in LEGO form! Just don’t expect Shanks to show up for tea ☕.
But wait, there’s more! 🎉 LEGO Stores worldwide will be hosting One Piece-themed events throughout August! Get ready for Straw Hat Headband giveaways and a Minifigure Factory where you can customize your own One Piece characters! Because nothing says “authenticity” like a plastic version of yourself dressed as Luffy 🤪.
So, there you have it, folks! The LEGO One Piece sets are here, ready to drain your wallet and fill your shelves with plastic memories. Pre-orders are up now, so go ahead and empty your bank account. You know you want to 😉.
