Beyond the Brick's Kirk Wilson (aka @The Geek Effect) reviews the new LEGO motorized lighthouse set. – 2,065 Pieces – Available September 1 – $ / € SET DESCRIPTION The latest LEGO Ideas set is a fan-inspired design, towering in height at 50cm tall – and is a unique way to add a new display piece to your home as it comes complete with a motorized light. Full of details, the 2,065 piece set is designed authentically to mirror how a real lighthouse operates. It sits on its own island, with a staircase leading up to the lightkeeper’s cottage, plus two minifigures and their boat also add detail to the display. The LEGO Ideas Motorized Lighthouse is based on an idea shared by 20-year old, Canadian LEGO fan, Sandro Quattrini. Sandro submitted his original concept on the LEGO Ideas platform, where it reached 10,000 votes from fellow LEGO fans. The concept was then commissioned by the LEGO Group to be made into a real set. Sandro, who is currently studying animation, was inspired to design the lighthouse by a childhood trip. “My mother loves lighthouses, and she has been telling me to build one for years,” said Sandro talking about the design. “We once took a trip around the Gaspé Peninsula, a region of the province of Quebec, which is host to lighthouses of all shapes and sizes. We visited enormous stone lighthouses on rocky beaches and small, abandoned wooden lighthouses hidden behind the trees. I guess these structures have always been in some corner of my mind since that trip many years ago and for this project I wanted to capture that towering essence of tall lighthouses, while also keeping with their solitary nature.” Talking about the design and why it was selected, Global Marketing Vice President, Federico Begher, said, “Sandro’s design really evokes the solitary role of the lighthouse and the motorized light adds a beautiful dimension to the set. I love the attention to detail with the lightkeeper’s cottage and the boat. It’s a really exciting and challenging build that creates a fantastic display piece.” The LEGO Ideas Motorized Lighthouse set is available from 1st September 2022 via LEGO Stores and at the recommended recommended retail price of $ / €. 🔔Subscribe for awesome new LEGO videos every day! 👕Our merch store with exclusive LEGO shirt designs: 💥Top 10 LEGO Star Wars Creations: 🏰Top 10 LEGO Castles: 🚀Top 10 LEGO Spaceships: 🎖️Top 10 LEGO WWII Creations: 💰Help us continue to make videos by using our Amazon affiliate link.
