LEGO 40596 Magic Maze GWP is harder than you'd think

Early reviews of an upcoming LEGO GWP highlight that the real challenge of the set comes after the building is already done.

It's hard to tell from the initial images of 40596 Magic Maze exactly how big it will be or how complex the maze truly is. Now, however, LEGO YouTuber DuckBricks has shared a video walking you through the different sections of the brick-built puzzle – and highlights that it's trickier than it looks.

"This is a really interesting set," he observes. "I'm going to try on camera to make this maze work and you may probably see that this is a lot harder than it looks."

However, even within the span of the video, DuckBricks gets the hang of it and seems to have fun navigating the various obstacles and puzzles. There are holes in the bottom for your ball to fall down, but you can always retrieve your marble and return it to where you were. The transparent elements on the side make it easy to keep a hold-off and it's large enough to be able to tip it around with ease.

There's no word yet on the minimum spend threshold for 40596 Magic Maze, but DuckBricks confirmed that it will be available from October 1, so we'd expect to find out in the next few days or at the latest on the day of release.
