Welcome to Reveal Season friends. It’s early December and that means we’re in the thick of it with upcoming set announcements from The LEGO®️ Group. We’ve just covered Marvel, Monkie Kid, Ninjago and Friends and there’s still a few more themes to share with you yet. Here we have the Creator 3-in-1 2023 sets that you will see release on January 1st. At just two sets, it’s arguably the smallest line-up of all the themes. The Creator series will no doubt include more upcoming sets, but until then we’ll just report on these two very cute sets. So of course keep it tuned to the site for more articles and photos.
white rabbit
- SET #: 31133
- COST: $24.99 CAD
- BRICK COUNT: 258
- MINIFIGURES: N/A
- RELEASE DATE: January 1, 2023
- COST/BRICK: $0.10 (good value)
- BRICK-TO-FIG RATIO: N/A
- DIMENSIONS: 15 cm high (rabbit)
- OF NOTE: Alternate builds are a seal and cockatoo
The smaller of the Creator 3-in-1 sets is the White Rabbit. Right off the bat, it’s adorable. It’s a really nicely realized sculpt using smart pieces and build techniques. Those pink ears are perfect. As are the shaping of the face and legs. I’m really impressed with the level of detail, especially with that lower piece count. That’s the primary option of course. Options B and C are a white cockatoo parrot and a white baby seal. And again, adorable. The seal is super cute with those clam shell flippers and great expression. The cockatoo is also superbly realized with those fancy feathers. Overall it’s a great looking set.
birdhouse
- SET #: 31143
- COST: $39.99 CAD
- BRICK COUNT: 476
- MINIFIGURES: N/A
- RELEASE DATE: January 1, 2023
- COST/BRICK: $0.08 (great value)
- BRICK-TO-FIG RATIO: N/A
- DIMENSIONS: 28 cm high x 12 cm wide x 12 deep
- OF NOTE: Alternate builds are a beehive and a park bench
This is the larger of the Creator 3-in-1 2023 sets. Unlike the Rabbit, here you will be able to recreate a series of animals and insects as well as structures. The primary build is a really nice Birdhouse complete with 5 potential tenants. Each bird is a different colour and a different species (nice touch). According to the site listing we get a Eurasian blue tit, northern cardinal, stripe-tailed yellow finch, European greenfinch and house sparrow. The birdhouse itself is a classic look and easily recognizable. The alternate builds are a hedgehog and a squirrel on a park bench or 4 bees buzzing around honeycomb in a beehive. Both look to be a bit smaller, but no less cute. Plenty of fun, animated details that will entertain those young builders.
Keep it fresh
Creator 3-in-1 sets are often a great value and these are no exception. The cost-per-brick is great and you get a nice assortment of pieces. Often enough these sets make great inventory for MOC makers. The seal and Rabbit are so cute too, what’s not to love? And the birds make for fun play time with that birdhouse or even on their own. But what are your thoughts? Do you own any of the other 3-in-1 sets? Do you enjoy making alt builds from other sets? Please drop a comment below and in all the usual places. Thanks for reading and until next time, keep on brickin’. 🧱
