Shackleton’s Lifeboat (40729)

£79.90

Strap in, sailor. This ain't your average bathtub toy. Shackleton's Lifeboat is a 232-piece tribute to sheer bloody-minded survival. Built for AFOLs with a taste for history, grit, and tiny oars, this promo set is a nod to Ernest’s balls-of-steel journey through Antarctic hell. It’s also your excuse to say “I built a boat” at parties and not be entirely full of it.

You’ll feel like a stoic badass as you snap each piece into place, imagining frostbite, mutiny, and the kind of leadership TED Talks can’t teach. It’s small, but mighty—and it looks damn good on a shelf next to your whisky and questionable life choices. History never looked so brickin’ cool.

Survival never looked so sexy.

Key Features:
  • Mini lifeboat, mega test of character.
  • Perfect for your “I’m smarter than you” display shelf.
  • Silent flex for history nerds with taste.
  • Pairs well with a stiff drink and existential reflection.
Specifications:
  • Theme: Icons
  • Subtheme: Promotional
  • Number of pieces: 232
  • Release Date: 2024-11-29
Included Minifigs:
  • Explorer Guy (gen188) – Looks like he’s seen some sh*t, and he probably has.
