    Welcome back to the Extra Pieces, bringing you the latest views and reviews from Jay's Brick Blog and the Rambling Brick. Today we kick off by considering the newLEGO® Technic 42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 Yacht, the Team New Zealand entry in the 2024 America's Cup, due to get underway at the end of August. Richard gets nostalgic over Australia's victory in 1983 and the declaration by our Prime Minister that it would be somewhat churlish for any employer to sack a worker for not turning up that day. https://youtu.be/s8mdHO2_Zo8?si=8Rg7IoPpMSCfjXVk

    Jay has put together the LEGO Ideas Jaws set, which brings together a well designed shark, a brillliant boat design, tying them together in a diorama befitting a 50 year tribute (which is technically next year) https://jaysbrickblog.com/reviews/review-lego-21350-jaws/ He also previews the Dungeons and Dragons Minifigures and consider what a D&D based theme might begin to look like. https://jaysbrickblog.com/reviews/lego-collectible-minifigures-series-dungeons-and-dragons/
