About Elves
Dragons, castles and markets
The builds lean heavily on fantasy architecture and creatures. Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle (41078-1), with 814 pieces, was one of the large sets of the first year, and 2016 brought the biggest of them all, Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle (41180-1) at 1,016 pieces. Queen Dragon's Rescue (41179-1) from the same year has 836 pieces and puts a dragon at the centre of the story, while The Secret Market Place (41176-1) has 701. Buildings are typically bright and colourful, with towers and balconies that invite play.
How the story moved on
Each year opened a new chapter. In 2017, sets such as Breakout from the Goblin King's Fortress (41188-1, 696 pieces) turned to goblins, while the final wave in 2018 introduced the villain Noctura in sets like Emily & Noctura's Showdown (41195-1, 652 pieces) and Noctura's Tower & the Earth Fox Rescue (41194-1, 648 pieces). The Elvenstar Tree Bat Attack (41196-1) from 2018 is the second-largest set in the theme with 883 pieces.
Mini-dolls and rebuilding today
Characters are mini-dolls rather than classic minifigures, the same figure style used in Friends. The heroine Emily Jones is joined by elves tied to fire, earth, wind and water. If you are rebuilding a second-hand set, the parts list makes it easy to spot a missing accessory, and ‘What can I build?’ on Bricoria shows which Elves models your existing bricks could already cover.
A compact theme to collect
With 42 sets spread over four years, Elves is small enough to complete. Several of the larger sets combine a building with a creature, so a finished collection gives you a whole fantasy landscape rather than a row of separate boxes.
