Lego Dreamzzz (stylized as LEGO DREAMZzz) is a Lego theme about young builders on a journey from the waking world into an imaginative fantasy realm. The theme was first introduced in 2023. The toy line is accompanied by an animated television series, also called Lego DREAMZzz, which was released on Lego's YouTube channel in May 2023, as well as being available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.[3][4]
The product line focuses on Mateo, Izzie, Cooper, Logan and Zoey who enter the Dream World and battle against The Nightmare King and The Grimspawn who want to corrupt all of the dream worlds and every dream creature contained within them.[5][6]
Development
Lego Dreamzzz was developed by The Lego Group in 2019.[7] Cerim Manovi, creative director, said that the theme explores "what happens when dreams become real, [when] ordinary kids become extraordinary and creativity is a superpower."[8][9]
Dreamzzz is a "big bang" Lego line, which are original themes intended to be produced across multiple years and accompanied by media such as books, video games, or TV series. Dreamzzz was likely inspired by five past "big bang" themes: Hidden Side, Nexo Knights, Vidiyo, Ninjago, and Elves.[10][11]
Manovi said the theme was conceived to help children deal with bad things in their lives and he wanted the series to "inspire conversation" between children and their parents. He explained, "Because having seen these characters deal successfully with their nightmares, in this fantasy setting, might actually equip [kids] to be like, 'Okay, now I'm less afraid of it. Maybe I can face it head on'."[12][13]
Launch
Lego Dreamzzz theme was launched on 1 August 2023. As part of the marketing campaign, The Lego Group released eleven sets based on Lego Dreamzzz Trials of the Dream Chasers TV series. Each set features different dream creatures, buildings and vehicles. Minifigures including Mateo, Izzie, Cooper, Logan and Zoey were released as well. The sets were designed primarily for children with an age rating of 7+ or above.[14][15]

In 2023, eleven sets will be released on 1 August 2023 based on the TV series titled Lego Dreamzzz. The eleven sets include the Crocodile Car, Stable of Dream Creatures, Mr. Oz's Spacebus, Fantastical Tree House and Nightmare Shark Ship.[28][29][30][31] Each of the sets include a 2-in-1 ‘guided creativity’ experience similar to Lego Creator 3-in-1 sets. The instructions split into two parts that allow young builders to choose two different ways to build models. Cerim Manovi described it as a ‘choose your adventure moment’ and stated, "What we want is [for] the kids to see they’re not just supposed to build the perfect model as it is on the box. They’re actually also okay to create something on their own… It’s just a simple tool to take away the fear of the blank canvas."[32][33][34] In addition, a promotional polybag set namely Z-Blob and Bunchu Spider Escape was released as well.[35][36]
