LEGO Ideas Set #15: The Beatles Yellow Submarine

 

The team at LEGO Ideas has just announced the release date of LEGO Ideas set #15, 21306 The Beatles Yellow Submarine by kevinszeto. You can read the full blog post here. The set will be available November 1, 2016 for a MSRP of USD 59.99 / EUR 59,99 / GBP 49.99 according to the post on the LEGO Ideas blog, "including 550 LEGO bricks including the 4 minifigures representing John, Paul, George and Ringo, as well as a Jeremy figure."

Overall, this is a really impressive build with very bright colors. I am not a Beatles fan personally, but I know several people who are, and from what I have heard, this LEGO Yellow Submarine seems to be pretty accurate. LEGO has even posted a video on their YouTube channel recreating in a way the original Beatles Yellow Submarine animated video (included at the end of this post).

The bright golden yellow pieces used in the submarine give it a warm and welcoming appearance, and the torso prints are very much what come to mind of when I think of the Beatles, and the box in itself is quite fascinating. It is one of the most colorful boxes that I remember the LEGO Group producing in the recent past.  I am sure this will be a wonderful set for collectors, both LEGO Collectors and Beatles collectors, though I myself will not be purchasing one due to a lack of interest in the Beatles as mentioned earlier.
