  • Sir Ernest Shackletons iconic lost ship

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Friday, November 08, 2024 00:20:08
    of the latest documentaries to hit Disney Plus
    . The new Icons The Endurance Set is a 3,011 brick-built recreation of the iconic ship helmed by Sir Ernest Shackleton.

    Itll launch on November 29, 2024 aka Black Friday for $269.99 / 229.99 / AU$399.99, about three weeks after Endurance dropped on Disney Plus ; it premiered on November 2, 2024. (Image credit: Lego)

    The ship was a trans-antarctic expedition led by Shackleton, which became stuck in the ice in 1915. Miraculously, the crew and Shackleton survived and made it back on the ship's lifeboats, including harrowing days in Antarctica.

    The build lands at 18.5 inches in height and over 31 inches long, complete with ten sails spread across three masts. Plenty of details are taken from
    the ship itself, which was recently discovered, and you can learn more about it in the documentary. With over 3,000 pieces, youll build the ship's hull, main masts, sails, and more intricate details, including the main rudder, steam engine, and the ship's wheel. Of course, youll make the lifeboats and interior details, including cabins.

    As a whole, its a faithful recreation of a historic vessel and fits the well-deserved title of the latest Lego icons set. Itll be set alongside a few other ships, including the Titanic , and other modes of transport like the NASA Artemis Space Launch System and a Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole .

    The new Icons The Endurance Set goes up for order on November 29, 2024 , from Lego at $269.99 / 229.99 / AU$399.99.
