LEGO's First Book Nook Is Here — Sherlock Holmes Set 10351 Revealed!

LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook Officially Revealed — Full Details!

LEGO just made bookworm detectives out of all of us with their official reveal of the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook — and honestly? It’s one of the coolest, most creative ideas LEGO’s had in a while.

Set 10351 will hit shelves on June 1st, 2025, with 1,359 pieces and a retail price of $129.99 USD (or $149.99 CAD). And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like — a tiny diorama that slots right between your books, turning your shelf into a full-on Baker Street mystery.

Even if you’re only vaguely familiar with Sherlock Holmes (looking at you, fellow VeggieTales viewers 😅), this set will absolutely charm you.

A Book Nook Worth Investigating

Even closed up, the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook looks gorgeous. There's this cozy little street scene straight out of Victorian London, complete with a Baker Street sign, classic gaslights, and even the silhouette of Sherlock himself lurking on the spine side.

Open it up, though, and it becomes a full mini world, packed with tiny windows, hidden clues, and playable mysteries tucked behind sliding panels and secret doors. It's compact, cleverly detailed, and, dare I say, just begging for fans to expand it into a full modular someday.

Honestly? It gives serious Diagon Alley vibes — and that’s never a bad thing.

The Minifigures — Five Tiny Legends

This Book Nook doesn't just deliver on scenery — it packs in five beautiful minifigures:

• Sherlock Holmes — complete with his iconic deerstalker hat, magnifying glass, and a serious detective vibe.
• Dr. Watson — bowler hat, mustache, green jacket — the perfect sidekick look.
• Moriarty — the top-hatted villain with major Penguin from Batman energy (seriously, LEGO fans are gonna use that face elsewhere 👀).
• Irene Adler — elegant, mysterious, and ready to steal hearts and secrets.
• Paige — a delightful bonus character carrying a LEGO newspaper.

Sure, there’s some reused parts here and there, but the new color combos and the sheer style on display totally make up for it.

Secrets, Mysteries, and Hidden Features!

Sherlock wouldn't be Sherlock without a few twists up his sleeve, right?

The LEGO Book Nook is absolutely packed with hidden details:

• A rotating window that reveals hidden footprints!
• A fold-out office for Sherlock, complete with a violin on the wall and a conspiracy-map of London.
• Sliding doors (with secret villain reveals behind them!).
• Mysterious stickers, coded clues, and little tucked-away easter eggs all over the place.

Honestly, LEGO definitely hasn't shown everything yet — and that just makes it even more exciting to build.

What's Next for LEGO Book Nooks?

Now here’s where it gets really interesting — LEGO’s not stopping at Sherlock Holmes. Rumors hint at a whole wave of Book Nooks across different themes.

Here are 5 Book Nook dreams we NEED to happen:

1. Avengers New York Battle — Grand Central, Stark Tower, chaos in miniature.
2. Batman’s Batcave — giant penny, T-Rex, Joker cards tucked between your novels!
3. Star Wars Death Star Trench Run — all those epic corridor details? Perfection.
4. Sleeping Beauty’s Castle — tangled vines, magical bridges, Maleficent’s dragon looming.
5. Minecraft Layered World — mines, caves, villages stacked like pixelated history.

The possibilities are endless, and LEGO could absolutely create a new diorama empire if they run with this idea. (And hey, LEGO, if you need more ideas — call us. 📞😉)

The Final Verdict: A Mystery Worth Solving

Even if you’re not a mega-Sherlock fan, this Book Nook taps into something magical — that secret, cozy feeling of disappearing into a good book.
And with hidden mysteries, beautiful Victorian architecture, and charming minifigs packed in, Set 10351 is looking like one of the must-have LEGO releases of 2025.
