Lego and Dungeons & Dragons have come together to launch an expansive new Lego set that celebrates the iconic role-playing game's 50th anniversary. The set, consisting of 3,745 pieces, includes six mini-figures, brick-built monsters such as an owlbear and a displacer beast, and a centerpiece red dragon. Beyond the detailed build, the set introduces a fresh adventure book that Lego Insider members can obtain digitally or redeem with points for a printed copy. Additionally, this adventure and other resources will be available on D&D Beyond. The concept originated from Lucas Bolt, who won a fan contest by Lego and Wizards of the Coast with his design. Priced at $359.99, the set will be available for purchase starting April 4.
