Good news, boat-loving LEGO enthusiasts! If your brick-built fleet already boasts the Endurance Ship, Maersk Line, and the occasional pirate vessel, it’s time to clear some dock space for the LEGO Ideas River Steamboat (21356). This 4,090-piece set recreates a classic river steamboat, complete with a steam engine museum, a music stage, a restaurant, and an anchor you can actually drop—for those dramatic departures.
It’s a minifigure-scale masterpiece, so don’t be surprised if your LEGO sailors start demanding fancier accommodations. The paddle wheel moves, the rudder turns, and yes, the decks are removable for easy access—because nothing ruins a steamboat adventure like being unable to reach the tiny bathroom on the Texas deck.
Designed by fan creator Aaron Hall, this set is as much a love letter to steamboats as it is a challenge to your patience. It’s priced at US$329.99, with early access for LEGO Insiders on April 7 and general availability on April 10 at LEGO.com. And if you’re quick, you might even snag a free Amelia Ticket Booth gift because, why not?
