I mean we got a new Beatles album and movie this year. I know some fans are complaining because it is "another Yellow Submarine collectible" and they want more music. How much fun would this have been to play with when you were a kid? I can just see a child acting out scenes from the movie.Īlso included is a figure of Jeremy-he holds a green apple. It is pretty neat because you can take the top off the submarine and see the inside stuff and have your Beatle guys sit inside. Inside of the submarine is a clock, and a calendar set to 1968, a steering wheel that moves and yes-even a button for Ringo to push (even though he was told not to). And it became obvious because of the great detail that is in this set. When you read through the instruction booklet, you find out that the two main guys that worked on the project are mega Beatle fans. I was really surprised as a Lego "newbie" how you would start to put something together and thing to yourself "what on earth is this?" and then suddenly it starts to look like something on the sub.Īfter bags 1 and 2 were done, it was starting to look like something-but I wasn't sure what! I started to get frustrated with it and had to take a break and come back to it later and I was able to get it all correct. The most difficult section for me was the stand that the submarine sat on. There were times where I got a little lost and had to backtrack and re-do a few steps, but over all it was a challenge, but not so challenging that I got frustrated and wanted to give up. It took me two evenings to put the entire thing together. Here is a photo of the baggies before I jumped in and got started There aren't any words in the booklet, just pictures to show you exactly what to do. The booklet takes you step-by-step through each bag. There are 5 separate baggies, each labeled with a number. The whole Lego set is extremely well organized. On one side is the cartoon yellow sub Beatles peering through portholes and on the other side is the same thing only with the Lego version of the Yellow Sub Beatles. It is sort of like a shoe box and it is very colorful with images of the Yellow Submarine. John was there the whole time cheering me on!Īs tempting as it was to just let the set mint in the box and never open it, I am glad that I decided to take the plunge. I have never owned a Lego set before and I really wasn't sure what I was in for. Let me start off by telling you all that besides making something that I used to call "a house" out of Legos as a child, I really do not have any background in making things with Legos. I was fortunately to receive the Beatles Yellow Submarine Lego set over the past weekend and I am excited to tell you about it in tonight's review.
