The Summer 2023 Creator sets recently dropped on the official LEGO® website. Interestingly, I was surprised to learn that a couple of them belong to the theme. Namely, the Land Rover and Main Street sets. Both of these seem more like City-theme fare. I’m not complaining, just surprised. We also get a return to the theme park in this collection, as well as and iconic Minifigure build for those who are unable to travel to Denmark for this year’s LEGO® House exclusive. Technically, the latter is not labeled as a Creator set, but I’ll include it in this article anyway because its numbering matches the Land Rover. Same with a few others. Similar to previous years, some sets will come out on June 1, but others will not reach North America until August 1.

While these sets are not strictly speaking all “Creator” branded, many of them are close enough for inclusion in this article. A number of these interest me, but mostly the Up-Scaled Minifigure. I will buy that for sure. I also find the Main Street set interesting. It seems like something right out of the City or Friends themes, and not typically what we’d get from Creator. Rumors abound for this summer’s City sets, and if they’re true, this set well go quite well with one of those. Amusement park builders also get a fun new ride in this series with the Space Roller Coaster. After the Pirate Roller Coaster from 2018, we just need a Castle Coaster to have all the classic themes covered. What do you think of the summer 2023 Creator sets? Let me know in the comments or reach out on social media.
Until next time,
