Thanks to Brickset for the heads up, we have our first official look at a new LEGO GWP (gift with purchase) coming soon!
The LEGO Magic Maze (40596) comprises of 332 pieces and is inspired by a handheld game that is played by tilting the board from side-to-side in order to get the ball past the obstacles and reach the end. This is very reminiscent of a childhood favourite of mine, Screwball Scamble, so I can’t wait for this to drop.
