Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Ideas Grand Piano
Pros
- Working keys with motorized hammer mechanism
- Bluetooth app integration for actual music playback
- Lifting top panel reveals the strings and hammer assembly
- Working pedals (sustain and una corda)
- Compact bench and music-rest accessories
Cons
- Powered Up motor sold separately (adds $80+ for full functionality)
- App-only music playback — no standalone speaker
- $380 commitment — among the highest LEGO Ideas MSRPs
LEGO Ideas Jaws
Pros
- Two complete display modes: intact Orca + sinking Orca
- Articulated shark figure with hinged jaw
- Three minifigures: Brody, Quint, Hooper — all film-accurate
- Captures both the comedy and the horror of the source material
- Best LEGO Ideas movie set since [Home Alone](/reviews/home-alone)
Cons
- Sinking-mode reconfiguration takes 15+ minutes — not a quick swap
- Shark scale relative to the boat is artistic, not anatomical
- If you've never seen Jaws, the set's storytelling lands less hard
