LEGO have just revealed the latest set for fans of all things nautical. 10335 The Endurance captures the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s doomed voyage to Antarctica. An amazing story of human resilience now told in brick form.
The set features 3011 pieces that capture the majestic presence of the famous ship in all its glory, with 3 towering masts, 10 full sails, a flying red ensign flag and intricate rigging. The detailed multi-level deck, connected by stairs, has removable sections for access to port and starboard cabins and the ship’s steam engine. Other features include 4 detachable lifeboats, a chained bower anchor and a ship’s wheel that operates the rudder.
It appears the sails are all fabric rather than the clunky brick-built option that wouldn’t work for a model like this,
Australian RRP is better than I expected at $399.99. You will be able to pick this up on November 29th. More details here [affiliate link].
The set does not come with any minifigures but if you purchase it at launch online (and most likely the Australian certified stores) you will receive the Shackleton’s Lifeboat GWP set.
