Ep. 38 - A Masterclass in LEGO Design - The Grand Piano - Full Review Friday

Get ready to hit all the right notes with this week’s episode, where I take a deep dive into one of the most jaw-dropping Lego Ideas sets ever to grace our building tables—set #21323, the Grand Piano. This masterpiece of brick engineering, released back in 2020, proves once and for all that square pegs can fit into round holes—or at least square bricks can make smooth curves. How? It’s Lego magic, that’s how. With an astonishing 3,662 pieces, this build isn’t just a piano—it’s a player piano, complete with moving keys, a motorized mechanism, and a level of detail that makes you want to break out your tuxedo and start tickling those plastic ivories. Seriously, it’s like Lego Mozart got together with a wizard and said, "Let’s blow their minds." But here’s the kicker: this set is on the verge of retirement, which means if you’re debating whether to take the plunge and invest a small fortune in it, now’s the time to decide. Is it worth the cost? Is it worth sacrificing your dining table for the next three weeks while you build it? Tune in as I tackle these questions and more, all while marveling at this modern-day marvel of Lego design. Don’t miss it—your future self will thank you (and so will your brick collection).
