LEGO® Group Press Release
The Avatar theme is shaping up to be an interesting one. Given the brightly color flora of Pandora in the films, LEGO® collectors get a lot of neat plant elements with these sets. I am still not sold on the longer minifigure legs though. However, the younger Na’vi in these sets feature regular legs. I purchased one Avatar set recently, and I’ll give my final verdict on the longer legs after building it. What do you think of the new 2023 Avatar sets? Do they make your wish list? Let us know in the comments below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,
