As the holiday season approaches, fans of Disney’s newly released animated film “Moana 2” have good reason to celebrate. Lego has announced a delightful line-up of three new playsets inspired by this much-anticipated sequel. While the anticipation builds for these new builds, it’s a bittersweet reality that they won’t be available until after the festive season. For those looking to find the perfect gift to place under the Christmas tree, the wait might seem long. However, savvy shoppers will find that there are still impressive options currently on offer that can brighten their gift-giving endeavors this year.
For those on the hunt for gifts, Target and Walmart have some fantastic deals on existing Moana Lego sets. One highlight is Moana’s Flowerpot, an intricate build that’s likely to captivate fans young and old alike. This set, currently available exclusively at Target, mimics the appearance of a wearable flowerpot from the Lego Botanical Collection but opens up to reveal two beautifully designed rooms. With over 600 pieces, it stands over 8 inches tall and includes a charming Moana mini-doll, the beloved pig figure Pua, and a plethora of accessories ranging from a sailboat to a fruit chest. Plus, for a limited time, it’s being sold at 20% off, making it a perfect gift for any Moana enthusiast.
Meanwhile, Walmart has the Princess Moana’s Wayfinding Boat playset, which, despite popularity causing stock issues at many retailers, can still be snagged for the price of $28, down from its original $35. This vibrant set comprises 321 pieces, showcasing a catamaran featuring both Moana and her mother, Sina, alongside a playful dolphin figure. This set not only helps children immerse themselves in Moana’s world but also promotes creative play, featuring beds, a small fire lamp, and various accessories that spark the imagination.
The excitement doesn’t end there, as Lego has plans for even more impressive releases in early January. Moana’s Adventure Canoe, a substantial playset with 529 pieces, leads the charge. This larger version of the Wayfinding Boat allows fans to navigate the wide seas of imagination alongside new characters from the sequel, Loto and Moni, alongside their trusty sidekick Pua, who gets his own little abode in this set. The design ingeniously includes a removable deck, permitting mini-dolls to rest in the lower cabin, encapsulating the adventure spirit encapsulated in the Moana universe. Scheduled to hit stores on January 1, preorders have already been opened at Target and the Lego Store, priced at $60.
In addition, Moana’s Island Fun, the smallest kit of the upcoming trio, features both Moana and her little sister Simea. This set includes 175 pieces that construct two delightful shelters, a whimsical waterfall slide, and a small sailboat. Pua makes another appearance, ensuring that he remains an essential player in Moana’s delightful escapades. Priced at $20, it will also be available on January 1, but it’s worth noting that preorders are currently unavailable.
The fun extends to collectors and fans alike with the upcoming release of a posable Heihei figure on March 1. Lego is set to transform Moana’s quirky chicken companion into a movable character, allowing fans to customize Heihei’s poses to reflect his delightful personality. Standing at an impressive 10.5 inches when displayed on a decorative stand, this 566-piece set promises to be a highlight for collectors who wish to display their love for Moana’s unique cast.
Moreover, an array of “Moana 2” merchandise, including a 160-page hardcover art book showcasing conceptual artwork from the film, is already available. Currently priced at $35 down from $45, this book serves as an excellent companion piece to the Lego sets, fleshing out the creative process behind the visuals that inspired them.
As we dive deeper into this enchanting season, fans of Moana are not left wanting. With discounted sets available and new ones on the horizon, there has never been a better time to engage with the world of Lego inspired by “Moana 2.” Whether gifting these products or adding them to a personal collection, everyone can join in the adventure that has captivated audiences.
