Since 2011 LEGO® Ideas and its predecessor CUUSOO have turned fan designs into actual sets and now over 10 years on, LEGO Ideas reaches the milestone of 40 sets. The 40th set to join the LEGO Ideas range is The Globe, the original concept was created by Guillaume Roussel. His design has been transformed into an impressive 2585-piece set, which lets you build a classic spinning globe. Making it the perfect companion to past LEGO Ideas sets such as the Ship-in-a-bottle or the Typewriter as well as other LEGO for Adults sets including the Botanical Collection sets and the LEGO ART World Map. The Globe will be available from February 1st, my review will be live shortly.
Make your way around the world with the newest LEGO® Ideas The Globe set
Billund, Denmark 18th, January: Explorers, get set for adventure! The LEGO Group has revealed the LEGO® Ideas The Globe, sure to spark fans’ imaginations of traveling around the world, exploring new places and building new memories.
The 2585 piece set beautifully shows a realistic, customizable vintage brick built earth globe, with printed names of the continents and oceans that glow in the dark so you can display and see the world at every moment. In addition, once built the set spins, a first for a LEGO globe.
The set was designed as part of the LEGO Ideas® platform, a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality. France based LEGO fan, Guillaume Roussel, was responsible for creating the concept for the LEGO Ideas The Globe – having been inspired by the tales of Jules Verne. Talking about how he approached the design, Guillaume said: “When approaching the design, I asked myself ‘what could be creative, educational and touch most of the world?’ And the answer was just ‘the world itself’”.
Federico Begher, LEGO Group Head of Global Marketing for Adults added: “What is so wonderful about this set is that, with a little imagination, it allows fans to discover the world through LEGO bricks. The globe is a symbol of dreams and aspirations of travel to come for all who are seeking a bit of adventure or for those looking to learn about our world. When reviewing Guilaume’s set we could see the passion he had for travel and adventure, but also for inspiring building fans everywhere. Our designers also relished the challenge of making this set spin.”
