If you'd told me 10 years ago we'd have LEGO Sonic I'd have trouble believing you, if you told me we'd have LEGO Super Shadow and Biolizard I'd have dismissed you outright. What a time to be alive. Now LEGO, get on Crash Bandicoot please.

I wonder if the product description for campfire clash will us the G.U.N. branding or "re-name it"
Also first angry sonic?

I like that Biolizard set! Might be my first LEGO Sonic purchase.

Holy crap this is amazing.

First of all, it's awesome to see GUN robots instead of Badniks

But that Biolizard is AMAZING, I'm surprised just how right it feels, sometimes I feel Lego struggles to build reptile based creatures without specialized molds AND we get Super Shadow!

This is a good little wave, I was not at all expecting SA2 based sets at all
I hope we get a set with GUN Soldiers in the future
My Shadow the Hedgehog minifig needs people to kill.......

Super Shadow vs. Biolizard is probably the best set so far in terms of game accuracy with as few compromises as possible - The Death Egg Robot had the weird trans-black canopy, the Tornado was alright but the workshop didn't really resemble the game versions, Shadow's bike suffered from prints not being mirrored, the Master Emerald shrine was too small and lacked the titular rock, and the Egg Drillster has extreme liberties. The only real Legoisms of the set are the Speed Sphere launcher and the stud shooters, which I can give a bit of a pass since they're shooting trans-pink rounds, which seems like a direct reference to the gross reptile/fish eggs that would spawn in the boss fight.

The campfire set looks passable but that GUN Hunter has a lackluster build, appearing very bald without its "helmet."

It'll be nice to get a slammer for relatively cheap - even if the gimmick doesn't work very well.

... Sonichu?

I love the sonic face print in 77001! To be honest, these may be the first sets that I ever preorder...

Anyways, I hope that this theme continues to the point of us getting sets based on Sonic Rush. I would commit unspeakable acts to get minifigs of Blaze and Dr. Eggman Nega.

It's cool seeing them finally making sets based on specific scenes from the games, rather than just generic scenes with the same aesthetic from the games.

Granted, Super Sonic and Super Shadow didn't technically fight the Biolizard, they fought it as the Finalhazard. Shadow fought the Biolizard on his own. But, eh, close enough.

Nice pair of Sonichus

Guys, it says "Super Sonic" in the article, a feature of the games since 1992, the "Sonichu" comments aren't justified-- (though I have heard one adult IRL that only unlocked Super Sonic in Sonic 2 via cheat code as a kid refer to it as "Yellow Sonic" so that shouldn't be *too* surprising with the average age demographic of Brickset users-)

Adore how these sets switch between completely original lego-only creations to the Most game-accurate scenes possible between waves, sometimes within the same wave itself - it'd be like if Star Wars sets alternated between UCS ships and the death star canteen every couple months, it's bizarre but also somehow fantastic??

You don't have to tell me twice. But back in the stone age...

That Biolizard looks quite cool, even though I have no idea what it is.

"Sonic doesn't exactly LOOK relaxed. Maybe his campfire clash is one of the soul - maybe Sonic feels he has to go fast due to unrealistic societal standards."

Would you be relaxed if a bunch of dangerous robots crashed your camping trip? This was supposed to be his vacation!

The rundown here is pretty easy! Everything here is based on something in the 2001 Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure 2, except for the campfire (which I'm not sure is based on anything specific).

Calling the Guardian Unit of Nations and their robots "villainous" is a little questionable, but they did serve an antagonistic role when they were first introduced. They made scattered reappearances in the early-to-mid-00s and then vanished for a while, and more recently made their live-action debut in the second live-action movie under the leadership of Commander "Olive Garden Guy" Walters.

The Biolizard is a product of Project Shadow. It didn't work out especially well, and Gerald basically threw it out and started over to instead create the ultimate lifeform we all know and love, Shadow the Hedgehog (with help from the alien Black Doom, as revealed in Shadow's self-titled 2005 video game). In SA2 the Biolizard's both the penultimate and final bosses; this set seems to be intended to represent the latter (also known as "Finalhazard"), as you fought it as a tag team of Super Sonic and the sadly-less-punny Super Shadow.

Something tells me that they are joking...

It's the small floating one. Source: I have no life.

Oh I'm sure a good chunk of them are, it's just not funny, and the person who created Sonichu is an actual convicted monster.

Not to mention a popular low-hanging fruit for lazy Edgy Internet Personalities.

Unfortunately, they were not convicted; the case was dismissed. But yes, still a monster.

Lego Ideas really opened the doors for a lot of new franchises."

Well, Sonic was in Lego Dimensions before the Ideas project, the Ideas project effectively was a follow-up call between companies that resulted in cross-promo for Sonic Superstars and now Sonic X Shadow Generations.

I'm glad this makes some people happy, even though I have little interest in it personally.

See? That wasn't so hard. Haters take note, next time Lego releases a set which may not have been specifically created with your unique preferences in mind.

"I thought I was knowledgeable of Sonic. I was wrong, I don’t recognize any of this."

You're looking at Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) for this stuff—not only that but in the lizard's case, right at the end of the game. Easier said than done.

Personally I'm amazed they're doing this of all things as a set, although it makes some amount of sense because it does directly tie in with the new game. Looks alright though, and it's particularly heartening to see they've finally given up on those dreadful Badnik designs to give us some that at least have a passing resemblance to the ones from the games.

Comes with free medallion. Don't put it on...
