Pseudoty Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Here is a list through 2020 of other sets the designer has done or worked on. Interesting how small he started out. Some of these are really good builds. https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Mike-Psiaki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the small change to the Saturn V he mentions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote is one of those things when you see it at the end of a thread you can't scroll up fast enough to get the context. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average Guy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'm no history buff but didn't the biggest ship ever built (the Titanic) sink to the ocean floor on it's maiden voyage? I lwonder if the alternate build is two broken halves and a debris field? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Any predictions on a GWP? I’m not planning to pick this up on Day 1, but could be easily swayed…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkalin Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Random thought…. I was hoping for a recreation of the grande staircase being visible on one of the interior cutaway sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonkalin Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Is it tho? Don't think that's supposed to be the grand staircase. I believe the staircase went from one level to another level below it. Not 6 stories of the ship. Also here is a GWP idea. When Robert Ballard discovered the sunken Titanic he used a special submarine. How about a model of the submarine used to discover the Titanic as a GWP? I know everyone wants a iceberg or a lifeboat. But highly unlikely either of those will happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An authentic scale model This 1:200 scale model is designed in 3 sections, faithfully recreating the features of the Titanic. The cross section reveals interior details like the first-class dining room the grand staircase, one of the boiler rooms and many cabins from the different passenger classes. Bring the story of the Titanic to life by recreating details such as the ship’s bridge, promenade deck, reading lounge, swimming pool and many more.

I have no idea why I was so into Titanic as a kid, but I was a bit obsessed. I remember I had this weird punch out paperboard model kit of both the ship AND the wreckage. This was all before the movie. My second cousin, a Harvard Marine Biologist, went gone down in Alvin to study the worms that live near the midatlantic ridge so it was very exciting to me. In middle school as an art class project our grade did a huge undersea mural along a wall in the school and I drew the shipwreck of the titanic in hilarious detail (everyone else drew fish). 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayslate Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Does a build like this ever come down in price? Is it likely to become "collectable"? I'm new to all this so thanks for guidance. I think The Titanic would be an awesome piece to own so I'm giving it serious consideration. I'm not an experienced builder though. Hope for comprehensive instruction booklet.

Hope for comprehensive instruction booklet. Big IF this set becomes available through 3rd party toy stores, it's likely there will be discounts to be had on it. Otherwise I'd wait for a double VIP promo to get ~ 10% of the price in VIP points for a next purchase at the Lego stores. Lego instruction booklets are pretty good. The best way to not make any mistakes during building is to first collect all pieces required per step, add those pieces to the build precisely as indicated, and continue to the next step. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope for comprehensive instruction booklet. According to @ravenb99it will remain a Lego Exclusive in the USA so most likely not many chances for a discount. I prefer promos to VIP, but you can wait for double VIP on BF/CM like @HandyHandsuggested but if it is anything like the MILF it will be OOS. As for the build the instruction booklets should not be a problem, but it is a microscale build and you may not like it. Look at the beds in the Titanic Vs the bed in a set like Medieval Blacksmith and you will get a sense for what you and your fingertips are up for. Before spending $629 I would suggest going to Target and picking up a cheap architecture set to try first this weekend and see if you enjoy that build, making sure every piece is straight so the finished product looks good. I am foreseeing we will see a few of these for sale on eBay and FBM partially built as people will buy it unknowingly for the wow factor or because it is the Titanic but then give up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 GWP should be a mini titanic, maybe a little bigger than the below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Interesting it is “Modular” in that you can remove the center and still connect it if you need a smaller display or you can buy multiples and make it even longer. Still hoping for a minifigure scale lifeboat GWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphoid Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 for a GWP just give me a LEGO door and two minifgures, but the instructions should state that when the door is laid down, only 1 minifigure can fit on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
