When Arthur Conan Doyle first wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories, I doubt he could have forseen the impact his character would have on the world. And yet, this is a character that is so iconic that he has gotten his very own LEGO set that fans of both the bricks and the characters will need in their lives.
On April 29, LEGO took to their Instagram account to unveil the official first look at the new Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook set. This set is part of the LEGO Icons series and is set to be released on June 1. Fans looking to guarantee that they have this set when it is officially released can actually preorder the set on the LEGO website now.
The set itself is basically a diorama of Baker Street and Sherlock's iconic apartment. And much like the stories themselves, this LEGO set has plenty of clues and hidden gems to uncover.

While the Sherlock Holmes LEGO set does not release until June 1, there is still plenty of details that we have about this one. This includes the fact that there are 1,359 pieces that make up this set. And the retail price on this one is $129.99.
This ode to Sherlock Holmes would be an epic gift for a reader or anyone who loves a good mystery. Of course, there is a recommendation of 18 plus on this set, which makes sense since it is such an in-depth piece.
