Disney Cruise Lego: Would you be interested?

[bakofarmgirl]

What if they made an 18+ DCL lego ship, would you be interested?

The outside looks just like any version of the dcl ships and you are able to open up the inside and make all the things in there as well, like they do the movie theater, lobby, restaurant, a row of rooms or something.
Not sure if they would ever, but my DH just got into legs and we thought itd be cool

Yes! Have you heard of Lego Ideas? You can submit ideas and mock ups. If they select yours you get a cut of the sales too!

Yeah there have been a few Project on the Ideas pages....

Some went big with 4500 brick designs, other a little more basic and are able to do "something" with only 235 bricks. But none of them are large enough to "open" and allow for interior work, nor were any of them able to get enough support to move forward.

Even a guy online that builds cruise ships from standard blocks (not as fluid as one might want)..... pretty amazing what he does cruisebricks He even built a Disney Mirage.... the new smaller class that's a little smaller than the Wish Class....
But even he doesn't do any interiors. If you look at most the $1,000 Star Wars kits that do have an interior, you'll see it's just not realistic at these small scales.

Compared to these tiny cabins it is.... and this is a 20' long, 1:48 scale model of the Disney Magic. How much smaller would the cabins be if you got the ship down to a manageable 24" - 18" Lego model with around 4,500 pcs., that would retail for around $2,000.

So to open it you'd need to do the Star Wars trick of having the inside bigger than the outside and only having a few select "play" areas.

But clearly it's an idea that's been around for a while, and hasn't yet "worked". I think Star Wars has a much bigger fan base willing to spend $2,000 on a model, than DCL does.

Absolutely! My 8yo son would be super interested.

My son built the Titanic which is 9090 pieces and retails for around 650.00 and the Colosseum which is over 10k pieces and retails for 579.00. I'm not sure where your coming up with 2k for 4500 pieces. The most expensive set is the death star which retails around 1k.
