LEGO set 70840 is Welcome to Apocalypseburg!, a massive and highly detailed playset from The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part theme.
Released in 2019, this set is an Advanced Building Set aimed at older builders (aged 16+) due to its size and complexity, containing 3,178 pieces. It is designed as a large, 360-degree diorama of the post-apocalyptic town built into and around the wreckage of the Statue of Liberty.
