Here is the official description of the LEGO Ideas Yellow Submarine: Take a surreal trip under the seas in the LEGO version of the Yellow Submarine from the iconic 1968 animated musical fantasy film inspired by The Beatles. All in all, this looks like a very fun set to display, and due to the sturdy design and accessible interior, it is going to be fun for play too! The minifigs are very similar to the original submission, except for their facial features and hair-pieces. The decoration should be a printed element, as so far all LEGO Ideas sets have been printed, instead of using stickers. The colors also got an upgrade, and instead of just using yellow, light-orange was also added. I also really like how he reworked the piping at the top. Justin Ramsden was able to bring that roundness back to the model by using some of the newer curved slope bricks and tiles. In the case of the Yellow Submarine, the original submission was well designed already, and captured the general shape and fun colors, but it was a bit too blocky compared to the roundness of the Beatles artwork. They are usually very good at remaining true to the overall look of the initial project, but they often use very different techniques to get there. Seeing how a LEGO Ideas submission gets reworked by LEGO’s own designers is quite fascinating. I’m also a massive fan of The Beatles having grown up with their music, so to see The Beatles in LEGO form is a dream come true.” Justin himself is a Beatles fan, and he shares: “I watched the film when I was younger and was really inspired by how it oozed so much imagination – comparable to how I view LEGO elements.
Once the project was approved, LEGO designer Justin Ramsden started working on the model to refine Kevin’s original submission and bring it closer to LEGO’s own standards. The Yellow Submarine is bright, fun, and colorful, which also made it a good subject to translate into LEGO form.” The creation of the Yellow Submarine model was really my way of showing my affection for The Beatles, as well as trying to pay a small tribute to The Beatles phenomenon. Kevin Szeto shares: “As an amateur musician and songwriter, I have always been drawn to the music of The Beatles.
It is always interesting to hear about what motivates someone to build a LEGO project. The project quickly achieved the minimum number of 10,000 supporters, and was chosen by the LEGO Ideas team as the next LEGO Ideas set. The LEGO version of the Beatles Yellow Submarine was submitted on LEGO Ideas back in May of 2015 by LEGO and Beatles fan Kevin Szeto. The #21306 LEGO Ideas Yellow Submarine will be released in just a few days, but apparently it has been showing up at various retailers already.
