Where Can I Buy the LEGO Titanic Set?
Finding the epic RMS Titanic in LEGO form can be tricky, but the set is still available from selected sellers.
The LEGO ICONS Titanic (10294) set is one of the most popular sets in the LEGO range, and it's not hard to see why. The iconic ship of dreams is one of the largest and most detailed models available, instantly drawing the eye when on display with its long body (over 135 cm in length) and smart colour scheme.
The Titanic began its maiden voyage in 1912, not knowing that it faced a fateful date with destiny. Now collectors can honour the legacy of the famous ocean liner with a 1:2000 scale LEGO model.
The meticulous replica appeals to LEGO fans of all ages and is one of the most collectable sets ever released – but where can you buy it?
Since its release last year, the LEGO ICONS Titanic (10294) has regularly been marked as “Temporarily out of stock” on the US LEGO website, although it has recently become available for backorder, with an estimated shipping date of 25th September. The price remains at $679.99.
It is safe to assume that the famous ocean liner is in such high demand that LEGO is struggling to produce new pieces and parts quickly enough to restock it.
The LEGO Creator Expert Titanic (10294) is available on Amazon.com, though for a vastly inflated price of $949.99. Unless you are desperate to get hold of the model, we would suggest waiting for it to come back in stock at the LEGO store or heading to eBay.
At the time of writing, used LEGO Titanic sets are available on eBay for a minimum price of $599.99, with new, unopened sets closer to the $799 mark. While these cost more than the LEGO store, they are still within a reasonable price range for an out-of-stock set – for now.
How Many Pieces Is the LEGO Titanic Set?
The set includes over 9,000 pieces and offers a great building experience for fans of naval history and shipbuilding. This is the one for you if you’re looking for a challenging project.
The model splits into three cross-sections to reveal faithfully recreated interiors across all levels of the ship – including the traditional grandeur of the first-class dining room, smoking lounge, grand staircase, cabins, engine room and swimming pool. Special attention has also been paid to external features such as the decking, vents and rigging.
Is the LEGO Titanic Worth Buying?
The set is one of the most expensive LEGO sets at £554.99 £589.99. However, it will likely increase in value far beyond that amount once LEGO eventually retires the product.
The set includes a host of authentic and accurate details, such as lifeboats, flags, iconic steam funnels, and over 300 portholes. Fans can also discover the ship’s bridge, propellors and cargo crane.
Collectors looking to capture the imagination and test new waters need to look no further than this colossal set.
