Hands on with DOTS Extra – Series 1

LEGO announced their new range of Jewellery earlier last month called DOTS along with some images showcasing the new line of bits & pieces that can be used on the Bracelets, Necklaces etc.

The official release date is March 1st 2020.

We’ve managed to get our hands on some of the Extra packs, which consist of 109 pieces to add and stylise your DOTS Jewellery. The packs also includes 10 surprise charms, which are random.

Bits & pieces

Surprise charms

Pack 2 Surprise charms

Being random I got different ones in each pack. The first pack had more emoticons than the second pack. The packs state 10 surprise charms, but both had 11!

The rest of the pack consists of round 1×1 trans blue (glittery) tiles, and four different coloured quarter circle tiles.

Tiles galore!

First impressions are they are great for what they are designed for, being added to jewellery. They’re also good for MOC builders as you get 109 tiles.

I feel that the RRP (£3.99) is a tad high for what you get. If you’re familiar with the PaB (pick-a-brick) Wall then you’ll know the cost of the fillable tubs and how much you can fit in them. The smallest tub is £6.99, only £3 more than the DOTS packs, and you get way more bits and pieces in those tubs than you do in the DOTS packs.

The Charm pieces are awesome, and present some fun and unique prints. The Emoticon tiles will be the main draw and again great for adding personality to jewellery and MOCs alike.

I will be tempted to collect all the unique Charms!

Overall a great product, albeit a little expensive. Younger LEGO fans will especially like it, having the bright colours and fun tiles to experiment with!
