The verdict

I opened this one expecting a quick throwaway movie tie-in and ended up genuinely charmed by it.

It is a small set, a single Shiz University room stacked with school furniture rather than a sprawling build, but the three minifigures carry it, especially Nessarose in her wheelchair, which is a lovely and rare touch to see done well. If you love Wicked or you collect character-driven small sets, this earns its spot on a shelf. If you want a serious building challenge or a display centerpiece, this is not it.

Best for: Wicked fans and minifigure collectors who want the Shiz Uni trio without committing to a big shelf piece

The full review

What it is

This is one of those sets where the box doesn't oversell what's inside, and honestly that made me like it more. It's a compact scene from Shiz University dressed up with school desks, books, and a few Oz-flavored decorative touches, built around the three minifigures rather than the other way around. The moment that got me was unpacking Elphaba. LEGO could have played it safe with her, and instead they committed to the full green skin tone and the film's silhouette, and it works.

The catch

I'll be straight with you about the build itself, though. At 305 pieces and a low part count dedicated to actual structure, you're done in well under an hour, and a chunk of that time is just sorting small furniture pieces rather than solving any interesting puzzles. This is not a set that rewards patient technique lovers the way a modular building does. It's priced and scaled like a supporting-cast set, and it plays that role fine, but don't go in expecting a display centerpiece.

Who it's for

Get this one if you're following the Wicked line, if you want Nessarose's wheelchair minifig specifically, or if you like smaller character scenes that don't demand a big shelf footprint. Skip it if you're chasing a serious building experience or you don't already care about the movie, because there just isn't enough structure here to win you over on engineering alone.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one feels less like construction and more like set dressing. You put together a small dorm or common-room shell first, then spend most of your time assembling the little furniture and prop pieces that make the scene read as a university, desks, a stack of books, a few decorative flourishes that nod to the stage and film production design. It moves fast, which is fine for a quick evening build but won't satisfy anyone hoping for a technical challenge.

The real value sits with the minifigures. Elphaba's full green skin tone print is the standout, a commitment LEGO didn't have to make and did anyway, and her dress printing carries real detail for a character-focused set. Nessarose's wheelchair is the piece worth talking about most, it's a functional, nicely integrated build rather than a token accessory, and it's genuinely nice to see LEGO handle a disabled character with care instead of leaving her out. Glinda rounds out the trio with her signature pink and blonde styling. None of the pieces are rare new molds, but the print work across all three figures is where the money clearly went.

Fun facts

01This set was one of the official LEGO tie-ins released alongside the 2024 Wicked movie, LEGO's first theme built around the stage musical's film adaptation.
02Nessarose's wheelchair makes this one of a small number of LEGO sets to include an accessible mobility element for a named character, following in the footsteps of other inclusive minifigure designs LEGO has introduced since the mid-2010s.
03Elphaba's minifigure uses a dedicated green skin tone rather than a reused color, a printing commitment usually reserved for a theme's most important characters.
04The set was designed as an entry-level building experience within the Wicked line, sitting well below the line's larger buildable scenes in both piece count and price.
