On deck there is a working crane to lift the ‘potato bin’ cargo aboard and this unique toy building set comes with new-for-April-2019 Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse minifigures, each with special silver-colored decoration, plus a parrot figure.

Legojona Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That's pretty cool! I'm not sure if I would buy it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozial Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 For me it looks like the dark and boring version of Micky Mouse. Anyone knows why Lego does not do Micky sets beside brickheadz and Duplo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Why is it that only trash seems to make the grade in the IDEAS theme these days? Disney this, Disney that... I'm getting quite bored of it now. It'll keep Adventure Time and Exo Suit company. Edited March 15, 2019 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I interested in the set? No. Are there rabid Disney/Mickey fans who will enjoy the novelty of this set? Absolutely. Maybe these will get sent out in shipping boxes that use Adventure Time sets instead of air packets for cushioning. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looks better (imho) than the original submission, so in that sense the LEGO Ideas designers have improved upon the original idea. I will need to see more of it, different angles, a detailed Jangbricks review, to decide whether I'll buy it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 For those of you watching in black and white, the subprime set is to the right of the red sticker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmind Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 At least they improved the original submission, something we cannot say about the Flintstones set... anyway, neither will come my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Wow, such hate so far. I really like this set and Im not even a huge fan of Mickey Mouse. I do wish they would have included a Pete figure opposed to Minnie. Not day one, but I'll be getting this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus311 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think this set looks pretty cool and believe it will do just fine after EOL... there will always be rabid Disney fans who are also Lego fans.

TheOrcKing Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Such an oddly artsy nostalgia trip back to both Disney and Fabuland here. I can understand somewhat the "another Disney related product" groan and yet here is an expected idea needing to be done for a long while I feel. Whether the reason is pure or puerile, everyone knows about Steamboat Willie even if they never watched the original short from start to finish. I would agree Pete should have been included alongside Mickey & Minnie; however I doth wonder which way LEGO would have designed him considering his first design is well away from how he is presently. My only negligible critique being the boat build is shorter than it was in the cartoon but again a rather trivial note honestly. Now if anyone wants to MOC the entire ship to scale, I would be impressed. Since I see no other time better, here is the historical animation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 ^ Ouch... But I would agree that Classic Space < Mickey Mouse regarding fandom. Its got a good chance post production unless Lego wised up and used the BHz success to boost production numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build looks like it just may work that way and knowing LEGO how they love cramming in as many play features as possible. In the off chance such isn't included, it might not be so difficult to implement after all. 1 hour ago, marcandre said: On 7/15/2014 at 1:11 PM, Ed Mack said: This set is indeed a winner. Big time.
