Lego just dropped the first official Dragon Ball set and it's Shenron rising from the Dragon Balls with Kid Goku on the Nimbus cloud, 1,764 pieces of pure nostalgia bait dropping November 4 for $179.99. The Icons line is kicking off a full Toei Animation partnership with more sets promised for 2027, timed perfectly with the franchise's 40th anime anniversary. Early leaks had it at 1,760 pieces and $199.99 before the official reveal locked in the slightly adjusted specs.

Fan reactions on X are already hyped with leakers like @BrickTapNews and sites confirming the box art and details, while some are side-eyeing the price tag next to similar Icons drops. Lego exec Federico Begher called it the start of bringing "iconic universe" stories to builders, and Toei's Masayuki Endo is promising the collection will celebrate the original Dragon Ball series.

This isn't just a one-off — it's the test balloon for a whole wave, and the fact it centers Shenron and early-series Goku instead of Z-era chaos shows they're starting at the roots. If the rest of the 2027 line hits like this, Dragon Ball fans might finally get the brick treatment they've memed about for years.
