The English name for this creature means nothing to Germans, where its correctly called a Waran ( Varanus) based on its actual genus. Sneaking in the Komodo Dragon is an epic fail, though. I think in 2018 or so there were at one point nine dragons/ dragon-like creatures from two overlapping release cycles and if you count all the Elves dragons they, too would cover the entirety of this poster. Go, figure! 😉Īs mentioned earlier, the poster could be filled with Ninjago dragons alone and that would in fact be true for every year even. I got the Centaur from the Collectible Minifigures Series 21 as a free gift when I bought something in the LEGO store last year, though. It’s really that you kind of develop a taste for it (at least the more interesting specimen from each series/ set) the more you’re exposed to it. The comic follows suit and while I’m not getting much out of it, the depiction of “monster” minifigures, be that just the “guy in costume” variety almost makes me regret I started so late in LEGO and never collected minifigs. At best it’s a course starter for kids, but not a complete meal by any stretch of the imagination.
The old Babylonians would be upset about not even being mentioned and so would no doubt some South American, Asian and other cultures. Well, at least the ones we all know rather superficially from them being talked about in documentaries on TV and in a very limited, uneducated typical European/ US American way. For now let’s see what we have here.Īs usual we get a short editorial/ a few info pages roughly covering the most common mythical creatures. In fact they could probably do another five issues to cover all of their own dragons alone. In light of this over-abundance of potential material, the latest edition of the LEGO Explorer magazine was an inevitability. They even have a dedicated promotional set for it with a winged lion (set 40556 if anyone knows a good way of getting one cheap hit me up). Heck, they even opened up a new Mythica section in Legoland Windsor and the German Legoland is going to get one next year.
There’s certainly no shortage of mythical creatures in the LEGO world, be that the good old Elves dragons, Ninjago dragons, Wizarding World creatures ( Harry Potter et al)or even more generic variations on the theme in Creator 3in1 sets.
