Like the rest of us, the folks at LEGO® are feeling the itch to do a little globetrotting. With their new LEGO® Ideas The Globe set, you can scratch that itch from the comfort of your own kitchen table.
But be warned! This is not a set that you can give to your kids in the hopes of buying time for an uninterrupted shower. The 2585-piece beauty is a realistic, brick-built earth globe with names of the continents and oceans that glow in the dark (cool, right?) that spins. But it is not—and we repeat—not an “I just need 15 minutes alone” addition to your arsenal of keep-em-busys.
The LEGO® Ideas The Globe is one of the most innovative LEGO sets we’ve seen, and timely, since we all seem to have developed a case of the travel bug while we’re waiting for this Covid bug to buzz off. The adult-centric building kit will take you some time to put together, but will keep you dreaming of future trips for years to come.
You can snag the new building set starting Tues. Feb. 1 on lego.com for a cool $200.
