The LEGO Group today is taking to its official social media in order to tease its upcoming collaboration with Dungeons and Dragons. We’ve been reporting on the upcoming creation for years now, and it doesn’t look like there’s too much longer left to wait.

The teaser video uploaded by LEGO shows off a Gelatinous Cube loaded with tons of different Dungeons and Dragons references inside. There’s a skeleton, keys, swords, cookware, and more – all surrounded by coins and other loot. It’s a pretty ominous way to tease your latest set, but it certainly adds to the suspense.
Back in 2022, the LEGO Group kicked off a contest for builders to submit their own Dungeons and Dragons creation to be turned into an official set. We’re finally about to see what the finished product looks like after LEGO confirmed that the Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End set was the model to win the crowd-funded fanfare.
The next set to release for LEGO Ideas in 2024 should also be the biggest one of the year for the theme. We’ve been waiting on the LEGO Dungeons and Dragons set to release for what feels like ages, and now it’ll finally be seeing the light of day come April. Being the largest kit from the fan-inspired theme will earn it a whopping $359.99 price tag, which will be backed by 3,745 pieces.
The model was originally submitted years ago. So a lot has changed since then and in the process of turning a fan-made build into an actual set. Now, the model will stack up to over 700 additional pieces than the original’s part count, meaning we’re getting a far larger LEGO Ideas set. That should give the tavern and castle combination far more detail than builders could have originally expected, with likely some additional accessories and minifigures to fill out the space.
You can get a more complete rundown of what the fan-submitted model looks like in our original coverage of the LEGO Ideas Dungeons and Dragons set. It’s fun that the LEGO Group is already beginning to tease the set. That could mean that the expected April release date is wrong, and that the build could hit store shelves as early at March.
Alongside the main LEGO Ideas set, the collaboration will be continuing over to a Collectible Minifigure Series based around Dungeons and Dragons. The lineup will debut later this fall, as opposed to the spring, and will include 12 different characters from the role-playing game. That includes Tieflings, druids, bars, and even the Mindflayer.
Here’s a full breakdown of the Dungeons and Dragons Collectible Minifigure Series. Each of the blind box LEGO figures will sell for $4.99, and includes a minifigure alongside a fittingly-themed accessory.

- Golden Dragonborn Paladin with Shield
