Be the king of the Lego world with the record-breaking Titanic set of 9,090 pieces

This is the ship of dreams for Lego fans.

The toy company on Thursday announced its largest Lego model of all time of the Titanic, the ill-fated ship that was the largest ever made at the time of its doomed maiden voyage.

With 9,090 pieces, the upcoming Titanic game (10294) is “one of the most difficult building experiments to date,” according to Lego, and narrowly surpasses previous record-holders: Lego’s Colosseum, which has 9,036 pieces. , and the 7,541-piece Star Wars Millennium Falcon. While historic for one model, it’s not the Lego set with the most parts overall, however. That honor goes to the Lego Art World Map, which includes 11,695 pieces.

Available November 8, the set will retail for $ 630 – and it does not include Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet or Iceberg.

But Lego’s Titanic replica, which will be available for pre-order on November 1, emphasizes intricate and authentic detail, perhaps like no other Lego set before it. The exterior of the ship is 53 inches long and includes loading cranes, swimming pools, lifeboats, boardwalks and several decks, as well as functional features of the ship such as working anchors and adjustable masts.

It is also, ironically enough, given the fate of the ship, to divide into three sections, allowing the creators to take a peek inside the hull, where they will find several floors of passenger rooms. , the iconic grand staircase, smokehouse and detailed boiler and engine rooms.

“In addition to its size, the Titanic was known for its unparalleled grandeur, which was faithfully captured in the background,” Lego wrote in a press release. “Beneath the incomparable exterior of the LEGO Titanic, there are several interior rooms to explore, including the grand, first-class staircase that spans six decks and the Jacobean-style living room located on the ship’s D-deck.”

Beyond its “greatness”, the Titanic is still known as one of the greatest tragedies in history. When she sailed in April 1912 for New York from Southhampton, England, 2,222 people, including the ship’s crew, were on board. In total, about 1,517 people were killed when the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank.

Next year will mark 110 years since that fateful night.
