LEGO Venetian Neighborhood Set Is Coming in November

LEGO has announced a gorgeous Venetian Neighborhood set that releases in November, but it's not cheap at $550.

LEGO Venetian Neighborhood Set Is Coming in November

LEGO has revealed an upcoming 5,682-piece set named LEGO Icons Venetian Neighborhood, set to release on November 1 for LEGO Insiders and November 4 for the general public. This intricate set showcases multiple Italian buildings along a canal, complete with a connecting bridge and 17 minifigures representing gondoliers, musicians, tourists, and carnival-goers.

The luxurious villa, artisan glassblowing workshop, and astronomical clock tower are all included in this detailed display. The modular design allows for individual roof and floor removal, revealing the interior details. Preorders are not available, but the set is available for purchase at the LEGO Store for $549.99. This set, along with a free gift, the LEGO Icons Venetian Water Taxi set (40898), featuring a 322-piece water taxi and dock, are set to bring Venice to life as a display piece rather than a toy.

This is part of the LEGO Icons theme, which includes intricate sets tailored for adults and advanced builders, focusing on display rather than play. Though LEGO releases tend to dwindle as the year progresses, four sets are slated for November, with zero announced for December. However, a major new LEGO set is expected to hit stores on Black Friday, as is customary.
