Shackleton’s Lifeboat (40729)
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.
