LEGO has officially revealed an upcoming set for the 50th anniversary of the tabletop RPG, and it packs a lot of iconic elements into one design. The origins of the model come from a LEGO Ideas contest held in 2022, which picked one fan design as the winner to be produced as an actual set. Although the concept has undergone some revisions by official LEGO designers, the overall size, structure, and ideas of the contest winner all make it into the final product.
The new set is officially called DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Red Dragon's Tale and is set to release on April 1, 2024 for LEGO insiders and April 4 for anyone who isn't in the program. It features a large build of the titular red dragon alongside an inn, a crumbling tower, and some ruins to explore. With a total of 3,745 pieces, Red Dragon's Tale comes in at a price of $359.99 in the United States and earns the designated 18+ rating for adult-targeted LEGO sets.
