Ep. 128 - A Hidden Gem or Fool’s Gold? LEGO Ideas Minerals Collection Review

The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

This week, we’re digging deep — literally — into the LEGO Ideas Minerals Collection! 🪨

On the surface, it’s a small $60 set with 880 pieces, but once you crack it open, you’ll find it’s packed with sparkle, science, and some seriously stunning colors. From dazzling Amethyst to the striking pink-green hues of Watermelon Tourmaline, this display piece might just be one of the most unexpectedly beautiful Ideas sets LEGO has ever released.

But does the build shine as brightly as the real minerals it represents… or is it more fool’s gold than precious gem? I’ll give you the full breakdown — from design and displayability to build experience and value — plus a little geology lesson along the way (because who knew fluorite and toothpaste had something in common?).

Tune in to find out whether this colorful creation belongs in your collection or stays buried at the LEGO Store.
