Lego Ideas The Globe
The Lego Group | 01753 495 000 | www.lego.com
Available from this month, The Lego Group has revealed its impressive new set, Lego Ideas The Globe, which the company says will spark visions of traveling around the world, exploring new places and building new memories.
The 2,585-piece set allows Lego fans to build their very own realistic, customisable vintagestyle brick-built globe. Printed names of the continents and oceans that glow in the dark help kids and adults alike learn more about our planet, even with the lights off. In addition, the completed globe really spins - a first for a Lego globe produced at this scale. The set was designed as part of the Lego Ideas platform, a Lego initiative that takes new ideas imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality. France-based Lego fan Guillaume Roussel was responsible for creating the concept for the Lego Ideas The Globe, having been inspired by the tales of Jules Verne.
