ICYMI, today was the annual Sonic Central livestream. A livestream dedicated to all things Sonic the Hedgehog. Ahem. And it’s where the LEGO Group revealed two new sets as part of the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog play set range. That’s a mouthful to say. Even without a chilli dog!
Gotta Build Fast
With the launch of the LEGO Shadow the Hedgehog Bust just a week away, it’s the perfect time to build on the LEGO Sonic hype. Especially as one of these new sets also features the ultimate lifeform himself! The two sets announced were Sonic’s Campfire Clash (set 77001) and Super Shadow vs. Biolizard (set 77003). Of course this announcement was done in style. In none other than a very special call between LEGO Sonic, LEGO Shadow and LEGO Dr. Eggman! In fact, when you’re done reading this article, you can find it at the bottom of this page!
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic’s Campfire Clash – Set 77001
Join Sonic as he relaxes in front of a cosy campfire. Of course it’s not long before he’ll need to protect the Chaos Emerald and save Tocky from the villainous clutches of G.U.N. Beetle and G.U.N. Hunter! This set is small but features some nice play features. Including a buildable campfire area, G.U.N. Beetle robot drone, posable G.U.N. Hunter robot figure, speed sphere launcher and speed sphere. There’s a Sonic minifigure and a Tocky turtle minifigure. Of course it wouldn’t be a LEGO Sonic set without some Gold Rings and a Chaos Emerald too!

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Super Shadow vs. Biolizard – Set 77003

Frédéric Roland Andre, Designer at the LEGO Group, said, “Every year we try to make Sonic Central bigger and better than ever before, and this year is no exception. We’re delighted to introduce Sonic and LEGO fans to our latest ranges, bringing to life beloved heroes like Super Sonic and Shadow, as well as iconic villains like Biolizard, allowing them to bring to life their favourite characters and moments from the screen into the physical world of play.”
“Sonic Central has evolved into a pivotal event for the Sonic community, where we strive each year to surpass expectations with exciting announcements and surprises,” remarked Ivo Gerscovich, Senior Vice President and Chief Business and Brand Officer of Sonic, Head of SEGA Brands. “We love the innovative and creative approach the LEGO Group consistently takes with Sonic products, which have translated to highly engaging experiences for both LEGO and Sonic fans alike.”
The LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog sets (still quite a mouthful) is a fast expanding range I don’t see slowing down anytime soon. My 8 year old son loves Sonic almost as much as my 30 year old brother. And that’s the magic of this range! These particular sets are due to go on sale from January 1st, 2025. And I can see some kids and adults alike saving their Christmas money for these!
