Lego Launches New Jaws Model, No Option for Expanding Marine Vessel Construction
Get ready, LEGO fans! The wait is finally over - LEGO's latest Ideas set has arrived, and it's a real toothy delight!
LEGO is pulling out all the stops in its celebration: not only have they unveiled an impressive brick-built homage to the legendary Jaws, but they've also dropped a dazzling 90-second video tribute that takes you on an epic brick-built journey straight from the Spielberg classic.
Catch a sneak peek of the blockbuster action on LEGO's official website. The video showcases the jaw-dropping boat attack scene from the movie, meticulously recreated using the finest LEGO pieces. This masterpiece, born from LEGO's crowd-supported fan design platform, LEGO Ideas, will undoubtedly be a showstopper in your toy collection.
With its impressive 1,497 pieces, the set allows LEGO enthusiasts to build a sensational display item. What's more, you can construct the full replica of Quint's boat, the Orca, complete with a removable roof unveiling a detailed interior cabin, adaptable rigging, and a display base rendering suitably choppy water for sailing - you know, for those nail-biting chases by the notorious shark.
But wait, there's more! The set will be embellished with three minifigures - Quint, Police Chief Brody, and Hooper - along with an array of tantalizing accessories inspired by the movie, like the indispensable buoyant barrels used in the shark hunt.
Mark your calendars, because the LEGO Ideas Jaws set will retail for $149.99 in the US on August 6 - but if you can't wait that long, LEGO Insiders program members will have early access starting August 3.
