21306 The Beatles Yellow Submarine

Paperballpark

This seems to have slipped under a lot of radars, but it's reported that it'll be released on 1st November, retailing for $59.99, which I'd guess will be about £49.99 in the UK.

It's nicely rounded, with a lift-off top, allowing the four minifigs (in rather 'colourful' outfits) to sit inside. It also has one of these from the Nexo Knights range, but in a pale/dark orange colour, without the horns, and with a new face print:

As for the source, I reddit somewhere on the internet (not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it or not).

Comparing it to the original Ideas project, the LEGO version is much smoother, rounded, and more faithful to the source material.

Oh, and two of the minifigs have side-printing on the legs.

the blue creature is called Jeremy in the film..

^Those are probably Lepin's minifigures.  They'll probably release the set before TLG.

I need to get this for me, I mean, my dad.

Rakul

My step-dad is a huge Beatles nut, at least Christmas is taken care of for him now.  My daughter and I will just need to build it for him.

You don't have to understand it.  But it does make sense.

I haven't seen the movie, but that creature is scarier than any clown that I've seen.

catwrangler

But is it scarier than those holiday Santa and Pilgrim figures? (Yes. By a county mile.)

HokieJoe99

I got my wife the Dr Who set last year for Christmas and this one will be bought for her this year. Any way I can coerce her into building Lego is a good thing.

Thanks. I had gone 39 years without ever seeing that image. =)

@pharmjod well now you can own an immortalized plastic version and look at it on your shelf every day. :)

CCC

Dick Emery's first minifigure!

I'm a little surprised that they didn't do a Blue Meanie with the set.

Good point, really should have had a couple of them....hope for a another set on the way? (j/k, like that would happen)

Dontcopythatfloppy

Can someone please, PLEASE explain this movie to me?

Your emotions tend to do this during the film:
Great a Beatles film....what?....eh?...I'm confused...what the hell?...oh I like this song...what? 

I think this is their weakest film out of all of them. So the set really doesn't appeal beyond being a parts pack. However, on the second hand market I can see this going for a lot of money.

I completely agree with this. In my opinion this set is such an oddball that it won't last very long on the shelves. Kids will still rather go for BBT or Wall E or even the Caterham. It's a pretty niche specific set, but I do think that collectors will pay a pretty penny once it's gone (quickly).

HangedSanchez

It's a weird film yes, but it's a nice set! Definitely going to pick this up sooner rather than later.

$60+tax is a bit too steep for me right now

flord

Considering The Big Bang Theory and Dr. Who are regularly 30% where I live, I would wait for a good deal on the Beatles.

spaceinvader1979

My girlfriend saw it yesterday an she get's in love with it...so it will be a good christmas present!

Honestly I didn't need a review to convince me. That video they uploaded clearly indicates why LEGO chose this concept. It's a perfect match with the company's brand values such as all the vibrant colours and playfulness of the concept!
