Are you ready for RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook in Lego minifigure form?
Yes, Lego will be releasing an all-new playset featuring the K-pop sensations. The Lego Ideas BTS Dynamite set features minifigures of all seven members on the video set of their global smash-hit single Dynamite.
The 749-piece playset also includes the doughnut shop, ice cream truck and record store from the video. Each building is fully detachable from the set, allowing for individual play and display experiences.
Retailing in Malaysia for RM449.90, the set is released under the Lego Ideas platform, which offers fans the opportunity to submit their own brick creations with the chance to have their concept brought to life with the help of Lego master designers and a share of the profits.

This particular set was the brainchild of Lego fans and friends Josh Bretz (also known by his online nickname JBBrickFanatic), 20, from Indiana; and Jacob (BangtanBricks), 21, from New York, who combined their love of BTS and passion for Lego building to bring the set to life.
Talking about their process, Jacob said: “Josh did the building and design work and, as a massive BTS fan, I told him what needed to be in it, what details were most important. It was a really fun process”.
Josh continued, saying “Jacob had the BTS knowledge, and he was able to direct my build in the proper way. I watched the music video over and over and tried to capture its essence in the Lego bricks. It was insane when the project went viral online overnight.”
