LEGO has today revealed the official details of 10294 Titanic. This absolute monster of a set measures 135cm when completed and contains 9090 pieces.
When I first heard the rumours of a Titanic set I was a bit on the fence but the execution of this model looks outstanding. Not only does the exterior look amazing there are several cross sections in the build to explore interior details.
The set will be released on November 8th and will cost $999.99 here in Australia.

Press Release
THE GRANDEST SHIP IN HISTORY JOINS THE LEGO® FAMILY AS LEGO TITANIC IS UNVEILED
7 OCTOBER 2021: The LEGO Group has revealed an authentic replica of the most famous ship of all time, the RMS Titanic. For the first time, fans can now recreate the luxury liner in detailed LEGO® brick form, 110 years since it was launched in Belfast in 1911.
The LEGO Titanic is one of the longest and largest LEGO models to date, made up of 9,090 pieces, making it a truly immersive building challenge for LEGO fans and budding historians alike.
As well as its sheer size, the Titanic was known for its unrivalled grandeur, which has been faithfully captured in the set. Beneath the unmistakable exterior of the LEGO Titanic, there are several interior rooms to explore including the First-Class grand staircase which spans six decks and the Jacobean-style dining saloon which was located on the ship’s D deck.
The Titanic was also renowned for its unparalleled speed, outclassing other ships of the era, and in the lower decks, fans will find a replica of the state-of-the-art engine room.
Mike Psiaki, design master at the LEGO Group commented: “At the time of its launch the Titanic was the pinnacle of nautical engineering, the largest moving vehicle ever created. It has been an incredible journey to recreate this iconic vessel from LEGO bricks, using blueprints created over a century ago.
“Designing the LEGO Titanic with such a focus on immense detail and scale, but also accuracy, has allowed us to create one of the most challenging building experiences to date. We know brick builders and ship enthusiasts of all ages will love building the set and displaying it in their homes.”
At over 1.3m long, the LEGO Titanic set is perfect for display and comes with a unique plaque with the ship’s name. This impressive set is available for pre-order from 1st November and general sale from 8th November from LEGO Stores and www.LEGO.com/titanic at the recommended retail price of €629.99 / $629.99 / £535.69.

I don’t know why LEGO included photos of a bare table, but they did.
how on earth that the buyer has spaced to put this set in their home?
(I am not saying it looks bad.. it looks good, however, it’s just too big!)
You don’t have a huge library in your house like the press release photos?
That’s why no space to collect this item! I wouldn’t kick out my sets then put that one in!
Can’t believe l’m saying this but this looks great bang for the buck if you compare it to things like the UCS Flacon and Star Destroyer. I think it is more impressive than those.
This looks very impressive, the cross-sections will make the build more interesting. Not sure about the subject matter though, it doesn’t seem to fit with LEGO’s ethos – there would have been other shops surely which could have been considered (I’d love to see, for example, the SS Great Eastern).
$1,000! Will have to sit on the fence on this one I think.
I bet it breaks apart in the middle not long after it is completed 😉
I will be converting my Taj Mahal into an iceberg to go with this set.
Absolutely love it! The price is steep but I’m more worried about the space to display it. So many Lego set, so little storage/display space!!!
A minifig side display would have been nice – perhaps the string quartet playing a tune or Jack “sketching” Rose? Any other suggestions?
Does it float?
Iceberg optional?
Aah ship that is a hefty price. I will have to put the purchase on ice for a few weeks. Pretty much sinks the budget.
