Ahoy, Straw Hat fans! LEGO and Netflix have teamed up to hoist the Jolly Roger with a brand-new LEGO collaboration based on Netflix’s hit live-action One Piece. Yes, it’s finally time to ask yourself: “Is my living room ready for a pirate ship made of 1,000 tiny pieces I’ll step on at 2 a.m.?”
This ambitious collaboration marks the first time LEGO has ventured into the high-seas chaos of anime-inspired storytelling. Lena Dixen, LEGO’s SVP for Core Business, couldn’t be more thrilled: “Building the world of One Piece in LEGO form was an exciting challenge.” Translation: trying to design a stretchy plastic Monkey D. Luffy was harder than dodging cannonballs from Marine ships. I guess the designers couldn’t fuse Gomu Gomu no Mi into the plastic bricks.
The sets promise to capture iconic scenes from the Netflix series, like Luffy’s stretchy antics, Zoro’s epic sword fights, and Usopp… well, probably just standing there looking stressed. Expect detailed builds from the East Blue that’ll make your shelves look more adventurous than ever.
For those unfamiliar, One Piece follows Luffy, a rubber-powered pirate with dreams of finding the legendary One Piece treasure. Along the way, he assembles a quirky crew who face off against pirates, bounty hunters, and corrupt generals. Think Pirates of the Caribbean—but with more friendship speeches and fewer Johnny Depp scarves.
This collaboration couldn’t come at a better time, with Netflix’s live-action adaptation making waves worldwide and gathering a whopping 71.6 million views in its first four months. The new LEGO collection promises to give fans a chance to relive epic moments one brick at a time.
So, gather your crew, sharpen your sword (metaphorically), and prepare your building table—because this LEGO adventure is going to be one grand voyage. And remember, just like Luffy says: never stop dreaming… or building.
