The LEGO Group has officially unveiled the upcoming LEGO Ideas River Steamboat set which is available to purchase for LEGO Insiders from April 7th, and goes on general sale on April 11th; take a look at the promotional images here…

Honor the meticulous craftsmanship involved in building a classic river steamboat with this LEGO® Ideas model kit for adults (21356). This minifigure-scale display model captures the authentic details of a steamboat that has been refurbished for entertainment tours, and makes wonderful nautical decor for the home or office.

Move the boat on a surface to activate the paddle connected to the ’steam’ engine, turn the ship’s wheel in the pilothouse (or the knob outside) to activate the rudder, raise/rotate the boarding stages and drop the anchor.
