      The LEGO Group has officially announced the forthcoming LEGO Ideas River Steamboat set, which will be available for LEGO Insiders starting April 7th and will be released for the general public on April 11th; check out the promotional images here…

      Celebrate the detailed craftsmanship needed to construct a classic river steamboat with this LEGO® Ideas model kit designed for adults (21356). This display model, scaled for minifigures, showcases the authentic features of a steamboat that has been restored for entertainment cruises and serves as charming nautical decor for any home or office.

      By moving the boat across a surface, you can activate the paddle linked to the ‘steam’ engine; turning the ship’s wheel in the pilothouse (or the knob on the outside) initiates the rudder, while raising or rotating the boarding stages and dropping the anchor is also possible. Inside, you can explore the pilothouse, crew cabin, and bathroom on the texas deck; the music stage and restaurant on the main deck; and the boiler deck, which includes a kitchen and a steam engine museum featuring a LEGO working piston, Watt steam engine, and more.

      Building instructions are provided in the box or can be accessed via the LEGO Builder app. This collectible set makes a fantastic gift for men, women, and anyone who loves boating or history. It consists of 4,090 pieces.
