But the real question is, are the lego Jesuits going to sink that one with all the lego banking families who opposed the formation of a lego central bank?
While still working for LEGO I pitched a concept model of a LEGO Titanic set to the Creator Expert team! But I never heard about it ever again until I started hearing the rumours about the set. I guess my model had some sort of significance when they decided to do it! Which is awesome and I'm super stocked about!!! My life's complete :P
@@RacingBrick I'm anxiously waiting for the designer video in the hopes that the model might be in the background somewhere! I don't even remember how it looks anymore!
I work in marine sector and it is a dream model for every ship enthusiast! Now it is time to convince my superiors that we should display the Lego Titanic in our office, make them buy the set and let me build it:)
Except the cracking down the middle, the screams of the children trapped in third class, the screeching of metal being stretched to the limits of it's strength, the silence of realization that there weren't enough life boats for even half those on board, and the Titanic's silent weeping as she sank to the depths of the watery graveyard we call the Atlantic Ocean to only be discovered a decade before a century had passed and become a mere pile of rust next to three propellers before five centuries can sneak by.
I appreciate how you mentioned specifically how there are no stickers in this set, because I remember in the 80s and early 90s when there were almost no stickers used in any Lego sets while now they are used in nearly every set, to the detriment of the sets. If you agree, please let Lego know that the use of printed bricks instead of stickers is a good thing and something that customers actually care about. Great video!
This makes me wish they went all-in for a Technic set. I.e. no expense spared: extremely high piece count, monumental but yet functional (because Technic). That would be a dream set of mine!
I would love to see a new 8880. Still maintaining the "open" design, where you can actually see all the mechanisms at work, but with more functions and even more detail.
Im 50 years old and this is one toy ive grew up with all my life.back when i was 5 or 6 there was just plain bricks to build houses but now theres parts to build complex vehicles which has totally blown me away.lego just amazes me everytime i look at it 🙂 (the titanic looks amazing)
This has been THE best review of the Lego Titanic set that I've watched. He really takes us into the journey of the build and how everything works together. Thank goodness that this was not another "this is an amazing, massive, awesome set" ad nauseam video. 🙂
I know I’m among a few, who built similar sized lego models of the Titanic when they were kids, so this is a personal joy that Lego has a sanctioned titanic model. My parents still have my model from 25 years ago, so finally I can now have one for my own shelf to keep.
@@TheBlackfall234 I wouldn't say so. Maybe 2019 was to early to develope huge Titanic or there was already plan for another creator expert sets. And it's nice gesture to show that they still remember his idea. It's not like everything is about money, at least I believe so.
@@Metalizer thats why cobi already did it before. "maybe 2019 was to early to develop huge titanic" Excuse me, that argument makes no sense. Lego is literally one of the biggest Toymakers out there and they had huge models before like the Death Star and Millenium Falcon. This sounds like fanboy to me, and not like a rational strain of thoughts of why this happened.
@@Metalizer If Lego just takes someoens Idea for free "its a nice gesture", if someone else like Mould King does that (btw, they actually started to pay the people for their ideas - unlike lego who just takes them) people call it stealing and criminal. Its really just a joke.
This is an amazing set, the only thing I could think of while watching this is imagine how hard it was to design and engineer this set. Major props to the person who designed this build
As a huge Titanic enthusiast I'm really impressed at the level of detail and accuracy they were able to achieve in this set. I tried my hand at designing a Titanic model in LDD a while back and they used some incredible techniques I never would've thought of. My favorite details are the benches, the partially-covered cheese grater slopes as stairs, and the half-covered telephone receivers as the deck vents.
Putting aside this fantastic build for a moment... Your grasp of the English language is astounding. You speak it very well, and should be commended for it. The narration is very well written and concise, and your delivery is excellent! Well done and thank you sir.
I only wish the front and rear would've been slightly angled up, but then again that would've required a slight bow to the whole ship to be completely accurate. They decided to make it uniform and sturdy, plus all the extra features totally make up for any minor inaccuracies. Was a huge Titanic geek as a kid, and I definitely want to get this if I have space in the years to come. Hopefully they'll keep it on shelves!
Olympic was better, for many reasons. Olympic was the first ship on this scale. Titanic was slightly heavier but only got so much press because of the disaster.
@@TayebMC Considering how similar they were, and that Titanic actually featured improvements to Olympic's layout, it's somewhat safe to say that Titanic was subjectively better than Olympic. Of course, Titanic never got much chance to shine with these improvements. Olympic was refitted to be safer, and some of Titanic's improvements were given to Olympic over the years. Britannic was supposed to be better than both of her earlier sisters, but she also never got the chance to shine as she was pressed into war service. Fun fact: while Titanic was slightly heavier than Olympic (as in total displacement), the real reason why Titanic was considered larger than Olympic was entirely due to her having more usable interior space.
I love the superstructure and the interior, but the hull is very bulky. Which is accurate for the midship section, but I had hoped, at this scale, they might be able to find a more elegant solution for the transition between the midship and the bow/stern portions. Still, a nice model. But its price and particularly its size mean I'm probably gonna skip this one.
When I was 12-13 I was so obsessed with the Titanic. I found the ship and the sinking very interesting and the scary idea that such an amazing ship will forever lie on the ocean floor disintegrating in the darkness. Many years later I still find myself fascinated by the Titanic, mostly on the construction of the ship and how it was built back then. EDIT: Awesome video as always
I can't wait to see someone use this set as a base for a model of the wreck, or maybe a kinetic sculpture of the collision and sinking (Jason Alleman, that's your cue;)
The picture of the propellers at 1:51 is actually the RMS Olympic, not Titanic. Titanic's propellers were never photographed until after the wreck was discovered.
I feel it could be an amazing challenge one day to get pieces and work in to convert one of the sets into a HMHS Britannic (for those who don't know it's the younger sister of Titanic Wich had a couple of changes directly influenced by Titanic's sinking and also was mostly white with a Red Cross livery as she was used as WW1 Hospital ship and never saw passenger service since she hit a mine in the Mediterranean in 1916 and sunk remaining the largest passenger ship on the seafloor to this day (she was indeed heavier and lager then her two older Sisters (Titanic was the middle one and Olympic the oldest) maybe Olympic is also interesting to try and convert it to since again some details where different. Expensive fantasy but imagine having all three in this size displayed together.
I just recently got back into Lego and this build makes my panties drop. I remember as a kid building whole cities by pure imagination, but seeing the techniques used these days just blows my mind.
I'm still happy I bought this thing. _Yes,_ it's expensive as all hell but it's perfect. I'll admit, I went through _hell_ for building it for an entire week and I screwed up on some steps on the Bow and Stern, but that went all out of the window the minute I completed the entire set. My only criticism is that I feel the masts feel a bit...bent-like due to the strings, but I did notice that issue with some others who completed the set
That is one awesome lego set! All the details, how complex it is, it looks stunning. Just amazing. Youre lucky to afford something so cool to have in your house. Awesome awesome awesome
Such a detailed video! I would never buy one but dang I watched every minute because you explained every piece especially the propellers and rudders. Lego also went above and beyond on this piece.
This is impressive, with a little creativity this could be adapted to represent the other sisters. I’d be jazzed to see the Olympic in her WWI colors with additional deck guns.
I wish Lego would do more Creator Expert ship models, the only ones I can think of are this one and the Maersk ship they did a few years back, but there’s so many iconic ones even if we exclude military vessels. There’s an Ideas submission of Shackleton’s Endurance up right now, I’d suggest everyone go vote for it
Spectacular reveal/review. At 800 CND I don't have either the budget/space to display this, but this IMO is one worth saving up VIP points for. Really like how densely it's structurally built, and the attention to detail is next level.
A direct comparison between the Lego and Cobi Titanics would have been nice. So far, I have seen nobody comparing those two models, although that's an obvious thing to do.
@@RacingBrick Maybe. But a direct comparison would underline a qualified opinion. Especially as Cobi are known to be the experts in historical ship models. You would know how the Lego model competes with them. And you would show an alternative for those who think that the Lego model is too expensive.
I will certainly be making some subtle changes including; brown bases to all the cranes & cargo hatches, moving cutters 1&2 outboard & adding in collapsables A&B. brown handrails. rigging the marconi line. Cargo boom hinged to foremast. white star pennant. Grey roof to bridge.
I have been a LEGO fan since I was old enough to walk and have several Expert Builder sets still complete with boxes. I am on the fence about the new stuff because of the astronomical amount of special parts and general feel like these require far too much instruction and leave nothing to the imagination. The bricks, plates, wheels, gears, etc.. of the old sets could create cars, quads, trucks with suspension and engines but the new stuff is essentially bags of plastic confetti and three giant assembly manuals. Oh, and it's EXPENSIVE!!
Expensive is not an argument for me as it used to be worse when I was young! You might want to try out some newer sets anyway because the design language has certainly changed and many more pieces are available, but that is a matter of getting used to and the build results are visually much better than what was ever possible. For instance, I have the 8880 super car from the fully studded technic era, and it still is a great build... but the end result does look dated. During the 'fusion period' around y2k I bought the barcode truck and 8448 super car, both with a nice mix of beams and lift-arms, and these already look the part while still being proper good technic. After a bit of life interfering I got back into Lego two years ago and bought the big 'rough terrain crane' 42082 - a revelation. This set is proper good and shows off a slick finished technic model with loads of functions and built in motor. Long story short: the nostalgia factor for my studded Lego starting from the 70s is still present, but the wealth of new parts and possibilities is fantastic. Now that I have grandchildren I'm already collecting 'the best of' City as well, here too great evolution and truly wonderful sets, despite some of the colour mess and proliferation of small parts.
Ok, cool set, but It's a real pain to build something at this price point and let it sit there and at the same time it'd be a pain to tear it down for parts. I hate this kind of dilemma with expensive sets. Also - RC mod instructions when ? :D
All his critiques are on point and logical. LEGO should contact this guy on feedback on sets in the making because this is one really good and fair review of this set, imo.
I understand how you feel about small sections joining together to make something cool and weird combinations of bricks. I recently built the lego space shuttle and it was a lot like this
Man, I hope they will keep this set long enough for me to be able to buy it 😅 haha! This is one of the most impressive (and honestly fun/amazingly thought together) builds I've ever seen. Its soo cool!
This may be a strange request, but have you ever thought of creating a video each year with the must-have sets (in your opinion)? I just started with Lego and the Zetros was my first set. However, Lego is expensive, and I find it very hard to chose my next technic set. Or do you have some recommendations?
Personal opinion I would like to see more sets like this! And even cooler if we could get the wreck variant (I'm a fanatic for shipwrecks, and the Titanic is my most favorite)
i have owned a Titanic set from Cobi for a while now and will be sticking to that one , way cheaper , also a really fun build , but its only around 65 cm long , but still 630 euro jesus lego .... for that price it should include an iceberg!
630 bucks for 9000 pieces is a great deal, plus all the interesting ways they made up to build the set with all the details, LEGO certainly wasn’t greedy with this one
You mentioned links to the historical documents and photos in your blog post - alas they are missing. Can you point out where one can find them? Much appreciated. Yours is definitely the most informative review by far - great job! Thank you

I just pre-ordered this today and I am SO HAPPY. I have been waiting for a lego titanic for YEARS now. So much so that I decided to build one myself and now there's an official one!! I can't wait for it to get here
I know masochist builders who open all packages and mix all the pieces together in one giant pile and build the set like a gigantic puzzle. Took them months to do it but it was pretty impressive.
@@adventuresinmodelrailroading simply googling "lego snot" can also make wonders, and you don't have to wait for 4 months ;) It might not be part of the standard vocabulary, but explaining it in every video would also be annoying after a while.
Thank you for posting this I heard about this set and was so hoping to see someone build it as I can't currently afford this beautiful set but needed to see it built and details
18:44 glad you said this. There’s lots of people who say it was nothing but a dummy and had no use whatsoever other than for style, which is inaccurate.
Nice presentation, just got my FED EX Lego Titanic today and sent pictures of the box to all my contacts, huge Titanic guy, have an actual piece of coal (very small) from the ship, many books as well.
This set is amazingly detailed and beautiful. This set can be made in Titanic's identical ship, HMS Britannic, since both ships were the same. Except Britannic was a Hospital ship during ww1. With the Britannic there has to be more white pieces, green for the stripe, red for the crosses and nuget for the bottom and baige for the smoke stacks, along with changing the layout of the deck too. So can this be changed into the Britannic being the same as Titanic?
When the 1st rumours appeared I thought, too big, not interested. As soon as the 1st picture of the box surfaced, the only question was, day 1, or am I patient enough to wait for offers... I'm not patient!
The only thing I don't like is that there isn't any "sheer" to the hull. "Sheer" is that gentle sweep or seeming bow in the hull that gives a ship that graceful look sitting lower in the water midships. I realize it would be difficult to model but a lot of replica ships fail to design it in.
What is wrong with LEGO? When I was a child, I used to throw all my bricks into one large drawer and I just randomly grabbed a few hands full when I was about to build something. It was very rarely as colorful as this Titanic. That´s just ridiculous.
@@julianh9347 This build took me 22 hours across 4 days. There's a point to the different sized and multicoloured pieces, it's psychological. It's meant to keep your brain interested during complex, repetitive, or detailed builds. Your not just looking for black, white, tan, or maroon pieces, but bright standout colours that draw your attention during the build. It's a clever technique, and totally intentional.
The Titanic model has been ordered for me. Having seen your Video I would add the following missing items. 1: The twin ladders on both the front and rear mast are not added. 2: The connecting wire from the Front funnel to front mast is missing. 3: the front of each funnel had twin ladders going to the black part of the funnels. 4: Both Masts where white in colour, not brown. Otherwise a very good copy of a wonderful ship.
if anybody asks, the hardest part will be the engines because they tend to fall apart more than go together while putting them together but other than that, when i built mine, i had a great time also this new "TITANIC" lego model is the LARGEST set LEGO has EVER released

@@kdrapertrucker I work for a classification society as a senior electrical engineer, so safety is also a matter of priority for us too :)
This looks like the most complex LEGO build ever. I like the way it can simulate the 'break up' of the sinking ship.
Except the cracking down the middle, the screams of the children trapped in third class, the screeching of metal being stretched to the limits of it's strength, the silence of realization that there weren't enough life boats for even half those on board, and the Titanic's silent weeping as she sank to the depths of the watery graveyard we call the Atlantic Ocean to only be discovered a decade before a century had passed and become a mere pile of rust next to three propellers before five centuries can sneak by.

Long story short: the nostalgia factor for my studded Lego starting from the 70s is still present, but the wealth of new parts and possibilities is fantastic. Now that I have grandchildren I'm already collecting 'the best of' City as well, here too great evolution and truly wonderful sets, despite some of the colour mess and proliferation of small parts.
The main engines connected to the propellers is a fantastic addition, especially with the moving crankshaft!!
Ok, cool set, but It's a real pain to build something at this price point and let it sit there and at the same time it'd be a pain to tear it down for parts. I hate this kind of dilemma with expensive sets. Also - RC mod instructions when ? :D
I agree
Why would you spend this sort of money (AUD$1000.00) just to "tear it down for parts" ???
@@warrenjensen4670 yeah I agree, like why not leave it on display? It looks better and you'll probably never use these parts (if you're like me).
Out of every youtuber I've seen, your back drop of all the models, RC's, Lego builds is the best. I super jealous, lol.
Wow, that set is amazing!
The most mind-blowing thing about this is just how heavy the box is.
Best review ever
Hopefully we'll move in 2-3 months ;)
All his critiques are on point and logical. LEGO should contact this guy on feedback on sets in the making because this is one really good and fair review of this set, imo.
Thanks! FYKI LEGO receives a summary report about my findings and the initial feedback of the community for each review set they provide.
I understand how you feel about small sections joining together to make something cool and weird combinations of bricks. I recently built the lego space shuttle and it was a lot like this
Discovery was an fun build I even got custom pieces for the arm and shuttle hatch to make it more accurate to the shuttle
this set was into my impossible dreamlist, pretty much as all the model team line...such a cool model
Man, I hope they will keep this set long enough for me to be able to buy it 😅 haha! This is one of the most impressive (and honestly fun/amazingly thought together) builds I've ever seen. Its soo cool!
your videos are well detailed, honest and iI'm really enjoying them. Thumbs up!
Might as well just switch my direct deposit directly to Lego. Looks good can’t wait!
Same 🤣🤷♂️ between this and the d11t October is gunna be a poor man month for me lol 🤣👍
My salary is wired directly to Lego
This may be a strange request, but have you ever thought of creating a video each year with the must-have sets (in your opinion)? I just started with Lego and the Zetros was my first set. However, Lego is expensive, and I find it very hard to chose my next technic set. Or do you have some recommendations?
Interesting idea, I might make that video :)
@@RacingBrick that should be awesome!
Now replace the insides with foam and add motors! Great review! I love this set!
As an avid Titanic fan and passionate Lego builder this is a dream come true. I will be forking out the 630 bucks, no questions asked.
I cannot wait for a designer video on this. I want more info on the builds origin and story! Excellent review, SUBSCRIBED!
Personal opinion
I would like to see more sets like this! And even cooler if we could get the wreck variant (I'm a fanatic for shipwrecks, and the Titanic is my most favorite)
That is one massive build. Love the random interior build colors. This is one set I'd like to get as a show piece. 🙃
Why would you like any sort of random colors on the interior? That just hurts my eyes and is really really sad for such a set price..
Magnificent set, Lego at it's finest.
i have owned a Titanic set from Cobi for a while now and will be sticking to that one , way cheaper , also a really fun build , but its only around 65 cm long , but still 630 euro jesus lego ....
for that price it should include an iceberg!
I also would prefer the big cobi titanic
That will be the next kit in this Lego series.
630 bucks for 9000 pieces is a great deal, plus all the interesting ways they made up to build the set with all the details, LEGO certainly wasn’t greedy with this one
@@mathieuedde1465 Lego prices can change alot between sets it just depends on how big and what is it
You mentioned links to the historical documents and photos in your blog post - alas they are missing. Can you point out where one can find them? Much appreciated. Yours is definitely the most informative review by far - great job! Thank you
Thank you very much for pointing that out! Updated the blog post with the links.
I dreamt of building this at this scale as a child. Now if I could only justify the price tag!!
That is pretty impressive, though the bit that made my jaw drop the most was the four old vent slopes from the old Space sets.
Wanna know more? Weight? Exact dimensions? Shortest shelf to put on? How does it look like next to the Saturn V? And most importantly, DOES IT FIT ON THE CAR TRANSPORTER? Click here - ua-cam.com/video/uraYzyrbtvo/v-deo.html
Hi
Yup one very important question. Does it float?????
@@Snooch-wi6yq first question my son asked!
I just pre-ordered this today and I am SO HAPPY. I have been waiting for a lego titanic for YEARS now. So much so that I decided to build one myself and now there's an official one!! I can't wait for it to get here
Do they have Jack and Rose mini figures included in it?
I know masochist builders who open all packages and mix all the pieces together in one giant pile and build the set like a gigantic puzzle. Took them months to do it but it was pretty impressive.
Nice building techniques sadly I don't have the space nor can justify spending £600 ish, the engines are a highlight.
Wow. Missed opportunity to have more information in the instructions. Great review. Can’t wait to purchase this
SNOT technique - Studs Not On Top
In case anyone is wondering. Pretty awesome stuff, it seems!
About time someone explained that bit of jargon. Been wondering about that for 4 months.
@@adventuresinmodelrailroading simply googling "lego snot" can also make wonders, and you don't have to wait for 4 months ;) It might not be part of the standard vocabulary, but explaining it in every video would also be annoying after a while.
Thank you for posting this I heard about this set and was so hoping to see someone build it as I can't currently afford this beautiful set but needed to see it built and details
The bow looks a little too short, but otherwise very impressive!
18:44 glad you said this. There’s lots of people who say it was nothing but a dummy and had no use whatsoever other than for style, which is inaccurate.
There should be a B-model that is the ship split in half.
I think you can make that yourself by throwing it on the floor
@@Grips_ nah just hold it by one end
Didn't put legos together for 25y, but if there is one set I want to make in my lifetime, it will be this one! 👌🏻😍
Considering the sheer size and part count, this seems like a pretty... Titanic build ...
lame...
Not into the more sophisticated side of humor are we? ;} =D XD
No just late
Now I wish they would do a set like this for an old wooden tall ship like HMS Victory or maybe The Vasa
Excellent review.
Nice presentation, just got my FED EX Lego Titanic today and sent pictures of the box to all my contacts, huge Titanic guy, have an actual piece of coal (very small) from the ship, many books as well.
Great review as always. Also this is a really impressive set! I'm not interested to buy such a set, however, looks fun to rent this set for a month.
This set is amazingly detailed and beautiful. This set can be made in Titanic's identical ship, HMS Britannic, since both ships were the same. Except Britannic was a Hospital ship during ww1. With the Britannic there has to be more white pieces, green for the stripe, red for the crosses and nuget for the bottom and baige for the smoke stacks, along with changing the layout of the deck too. So can this be changed into the Britannic being the same as Titanic?
how much is the retail price?
€629.99 / $629.99 / £569.99/ 999.99 AUD/799.99 CAD
Fantastic review. Quite possibly the most in-depth review on it.
It’s so longest ship in my world!!!🥰🥰🥰
It's beautiful. And some the side build technique is just amazing. thanks for reviewing it!
When the 1st rumours appeared I thought, too big, not interested.
As soon as the 1st picture of the box surfaced, the only question was, day 1, or am I patient enough to wait for offers... I'm not patient!
The only thing I don't like is that there isn't any "sheer" to the hull. "Sheer" is that gentle sweep or seeming bow in the hull that gives a ship that graceful look sitting lower in the water midships. I realize it would be difficult to model but a lot of replica ships fail to design it in.
This and the type writing machine tells how sophisticated has Lego become in the last 10 years
No brick built iceberg?
Cobi had one in the Special Edition of their model.
Beautiful ship and a beautiful model. Was thinking about getting the set and have it in my office at work
What is wrong with LEGO? When I was a child, I used to throw all my bricks into one large drawer and I just randomly grabbed a few hands full when I was about to build something. It was very rarely as colorful as this Titanic. That´s just ridiculous.
Lego is an adult hobby now, the kids are glued to their phones and game consoles
Just my thoughts too, i got eye cancer from all these different colored bricks. It's turning my stomach and is completely unnecessary.
Just what I thought. At this price you could expect more. But they just seek for new customers and leave their long time buyers in pain.
@@julianh9347 This build took me 22 hours across 4 days. There's a point to the different sized and multicoloured pieces, it's psychological. It's meant to keep your brain interested during complex, repetitive, or detailed builds. Your not just looking for black, white, tan, or maroon pieces, but bright standout colours that draw your attention during the build.
It's a clever technique, and totally intentional.
The Titanic model has been ordered for me. Having seen your Video I would add the following missing items.
1: The twin ladders on both the front and rear mast are not added. 2: The connecting wire from the Front funnel to front mast is missing. 3: the front of each funnel had twin ladders going to the black part of the funnels. 4: Both Masts where white in colour, not brown. Otherwise a very good copy of a wonderful ship.
I don't have the space and my wallet is giving me dirty looks. But like the Titanic I know I am sunk.... Hook line and sunk....
i love snacking of the little lego bubs so satisfying
I want this so bad but for $850 that’s a bit excessive Lego
if anybody asks, the hardest part will be the engines because they tend to fall apart more than go together while putting them together
but other than that, when i built mine, i had a great time
also this new "TITANIC" lego model is the LARGEST set LEGO has EVER released
