LEGO has officially confirmed six new sets based on One Piece for release in August 2026. This collection expands the offering beyond the previously announced Gomu Gomu Fruit, focusing on recreating iconic moments and locations from the series. Prices range from $29.99 to $179.99, with a wide variation in piece count, from the modest Dr. Hiriluk's Hideout to the massive Garp's Marine Ship.
Modular Design and Building Techniques in Licensed Sets 🧱
The range presents an interesting technical approach by adapting organic settings and ships to a modular building system. Sets like Drum Castle or Garp's ship, with 1705 pieces, will require structural solutions to achieve stability and appropriate scale for the minifigures. The inclusion of custom elements, such as Chopper's fruit or Smoker's smoke effects, shows the development of specific pieces to capture the essence of the series in the LEGO format.
Preparing Your Wallet for the Era of Pirate Bricks 💰
With prices sailing up to nearly $180, it seems LEGO has understood that One Piece is not just the treasure of the Pirate King, but also that of adult fans. Now it's time to decide if rebuilding the Marine Ship is more important than paying the electricity bill. At least the battles of Dorry and Brogy in brick format promise to be less destructive for the living room than a real giant fight.
