Olivia Rodrigo x LEGO Is The Collab Fans Won’t Want To Miss

One thing about me is I have an irresistible penchant for listening to albums on repeat.

Call it obsessive, but every few months I’ll discover (or often, rediscover) an album that I love, and listen to it over and over until I get bored of it.

When Olivia Rodrigo dropped her third album You Look Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love earlier this summer, that quickly became my go-to album.

No matter what I’m doing – at the gym, in the office, and while I’m cooking – I can’t stop listening to it.

So, naturally, when I heard LEGO had collabed with Olivia herself to create an Editions collection, I knew I had to have it.

Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my evening than listening to the album and being the first person to get their hands messy putting together the matching LEGO set.

Because yes, I might be 26, but I’ve never stopped being a fan – and I’m not ashamed.

The collection is made up of five pieces: the Dual Guitar, Secret Storage, Concert Moon, Vinyl, and Flower Bouquet.

If life was fair, I would have got all of them. Unfortunately, my flat isn’t big enough to accommodate five different Olivia Rodrigo LEGO sets – nor are my flatmates accepting enough – so I went for the guitar.

Made up of 1,228 pieces, the set comes with two Olivia figurines that sit inside a guitar that is also home to her dressing room and a stage.

The entire thing comes in Olivia’s signature purple and black, with one half making an electric guitar and the other an acoustic, and is anointed with butterflies, stars, and sparkles.

Reader, I must admit I had a great time building this set. It took me around seven hours (or 11 album listens) to complete over the course of several evenings.

The set truly comes with everything a fan could hope for, which makes it the perfect birthday (or, dare I mention Christmas?) gift for a teenage girl or boy.

As well as making a literal guitar set with strings (that were extremely fiddly to assemble) it has all the makings of incredible merch.

Inside the dressing room ‘trust your Guts’ is written in lipstick on the mirror that sits behind a lipstick, chair, and ice cream Olivia is in the middle of eating.

The front of the guitar has a LEGO brick with Olivia’s signature on it, while the stage is surrounded by photos and Easter eggs for what the artist has coming next.

If you’re worried you won’t be able to build it, don’t worry, because you can follow along with the LEGO® Builder app that has digital instructions and a 3D digital model to make sure you’re getting it right.

Overall, it was a fairly relaxing process putting this together. There were a couple of tricky parts – including assembling the two halves of the guitar and getting the strings clicked into place (top tip: make sure they’re all pointing in the same direction).

But considering it’s a collection item you’ll want to keep on display forever (or should I say u+me=<3?) the effort is totally worth it; I can’t stop looking at all the cute details on the outside.

Not to mention it comes in at £109, which for a 50cm LEGO set is extremely reasonable – and we have high expectations!
