After months of speculation and a couple of persistent leaks, the Lego Group has announced its latest video game collaboration: Lego Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic has appeared in Lego form before, of course – first in the Lego Dimensions toys-to-life video game, and later in a brilliant Lego Ideas set depicting Green Hill Zone. Unlike that set, however, the new official Sonic range is squarely aimed at kids. As it should be.The Lego Ideas set was more suitable for grown-up fans of Sonic and nineties kids in need of a dose of nostalgia. Set up as a diorama of a classic Sonic level, it wasn’t all that ‘playable’. It even shipped in a black box, which is Lego’s signal that they consider the set an 18+ product. The new sets are the opposite, with suggested age brackets ranging from 6+ for the basic set up to 8+ for the most intricate.
