Ship in a Bottle is the next of the Lego Ideas sets to be released. It’s coming on February 1st, at £69.99 in the UK and $69.99 in the USA. It has 962 pieces and is set 21313.
It’s a really unique Lego model, and that’s what’s going to make this popular with collectors. It’s the kind of set that in 10 years time people will wish they’d picked up, because it’s so different from what else is being released.
Here’s the full Lego press release…
Show you are a true craftsman when you create a Ship in a Bottle with LEGO bricks! Build this beautiful ship named ‘Leviathan’, including the captain’s quarters, masts, crow’s nest, sails, flag and 6 cannons. Place it inside the brick-built bottle, featuring a buildable cork and wax seal. Then showcase your nostalgic, nautical creation on the display stand, complete with the ship’s nameplate and a compass with a spinning needle.
- Features a LEGO brick-built bottle, ship and a display stand.
- Bottle features a detailed, buildable cork with NEW wax-seal-style element and over 280 translucent-blue, water-style elements inside.
- Ship features a raised deck at the stern, captain’s quarters, 6 cannons, 3 masts, a crow’s nest and assorted elements including printed sails and the ship’s flag.
- Display stand features the ship’s ‘Leviathan’ nameplate, a built-in ‘compass’ (non-functioning) with detailed compass rose and spinning gold-colored needle, 2 globe elements and gold-colored detailing.
- Includes a booklet with building instructions, plus information about the set’s fan creator and LEGO designers.
- Bottle on stand measures over 3″ (10cm) high, 12” (31cm) wide and 3” (10cm) deep.
- Ship measures over 3″ (8cm) high, 5” (14cm) long and 1” (5cm) wide.
The 280 water elements are these 1 stud round pieces…
The effect works, but odd that they would call that out as a bullet point. Unless of course you’re in the market for 280 transparent pieces for one of your own builds.
