Picture this: you’re assembling a masterpiece that once connected Paris to Istanbul, not just in reality but in the lore of mystery and adventure, thanks to tales like Agatha Christie’s famous detective novel. Now, you get to recreate this legend in your own living room for £259.99 / 319,99 € / $299.99 US / $389.99 CAD. And the journey begins on December 1st, 2023—just in time to make your winter holidays a tad more exciting.
Let’s dive into what makes this set a first-class ticket to fun. The Orient Express boasts a dining car and a sleeping car, both with removable roofs that reveal a world of authentic details. Ever wanted to peek inside the Orient Express without a ticket? Now’s your chance! Marvel at the inlaid wood-like panels, and don’t miss the mirror effect above the plush bed in the first-class room—it’s like stepping back in time to the golden age of travel.
But the real charm? It’s the characters you’ll meet along the way. This set includes 8 LEGO minifigures, each with their own story. You’ll find a dignified railway station manager, a duchess who’s seen it all, and even a film director who’s a nod to the fan designer who brought this set to life. They’re the perfect cast for your very own LEGO mystery or luxury travel reenactment.
And for those who love to put their creations into action, this set is compatible with the LEGO track system. Imagine the Orient Express gliding along the tracks, weaving through your other LEGO cityscapes and landscapes. It’s not just a model; it’s an interactive piece of history.
So, mark your calendars, LEGO lovers. The Orient Express is about to depart, and you won’t want to miss it. It’s not just a toy; it’s a journey through time, a challenge to build, and a story waiting to be told. All this, wrapped up in a box and waiting for you to bring it to life. Full steam ahead!
