Lego Announces One Piece Sets

The One Piece franchise announced that the iconic manga, anime, and now live-action series will receive the Lego treatment on Thursday, and pre-orders have already begun.

Netflix notes that these sets are for the first season of the live-action One Piece series. The set include the Lego One Piece Windmill Village Hut, Buggy The Clown's Circus Tent, Battle at Arlong Park, The Going Merry Pirate Ship, and The Baratie Floating Restaurant along with the BrickHJeadz Monkey D. Luffy Figure and Buggy the Clown Figure. All sets and figures are set to release on August 1, with pre-orders beginning on June 5. Sets will cost between US$9.99 to US$329.99.

Lego will also run several in-store One Piece themed activities starting on August 1. Activities include the Lego One Piece Gum Gum Fruit Make & Take, Collect a Lego One Piece Passport Stamp, Collect a Lego One Piece Straw Hat Headband, and Lego One Piece Minifigure Factory.

Yi-Chien Cheng, Associate Design Lead on LEGO ONE PIECE, said, “Bringing the Straw Hat Pirates in LEGO brick form to fans worldwide has been a dream assignment. I have always been a big fan of the story of ONE PIECE and it was so exciting to work with the team on building all the details from some of our favourite locations and scenes in the live-action Netflix show in brick form. I cannot wait for fans of both The Lego Group and ONE PIECE to get their hands on these sets and start charting their own courses into the Grand Line.”

Josh Simon, Vice President of Consumer Products at Netflix, added, “It's an incredible opportunity for Netflix and The Lego Group to deliver something so meaningful and authentic to ONE PIECE fans around the world. The overwhelming feedback received from when we first teased the line was phenomenal. It was clear that this was a collection the fans have been wanting for a very long time. We're thrilled to bring fan favorite moments from both the franchise and the Netflix series in this collection and deliver a grand adventure for Straw Hat fans around the world.”
