You make the best reviews. As a fellow non-native English speaking English speaker, I truly appreciate the effort you put into enunciation and pronunciation. Most people don't realize how hard some of these words are.

I have to agree

[@IndrasilDesignStudio]

Good - I don't care about minifigures at all and I don't want to pay extra for it to be included in the set.

[@drewbooo]

Why? They have a budget to meet and the figures raise the price. It seems the price goes higher than the figs are worth too.

[@mgoblurg]

@@drewbooo if they wanted to make it a separate set you can purchase, then fine. But doing it this way, people who buy it later will only have the option of buying it off scalpers at ridiculous prices.

I love the research you clearly put into these videos. I would have never known they were called Jib sails but it shows the nice attention to detail and research a former Lego designer should have. You always seem to use correct terminology for items and names for characters regardless of the franchise or series

[@ACtheLegend]

@@brickademy One Concorde crashed. One. Due to something that wasn't even its fault. Statically out of every commercial aircraft type it is by far one of the safest. Going on that logic Lego shouldn't make cars, since countless people die each year in car crashes.

[@brickademy]

@ACtheLegend if i think of titanic, i think of the iceberg. If i think of concorde, i think of the crash. Certain things come with certain connections. It is not a rational thing, but an emotional one. Also, its a joke, lighten up😅

Tiago, I have a very random video (or short) idea that I would love for you to cover. How do you dust your collection? As a owner of so many sets (and growing), the task becomes harder and harder.

[@Bjornbrorsan]

I can only agree with FlagsNZ’s conclusion in his review of this set (for anyone who hasn’t read it, I highly recommend it): the flag issue needs to be rectified by Lego - the real Endurance flew the Blue ensign(!), not the Red. For a Lego Icons set, that is designed to be a historically accurate showcase model, this is a massive mistake and I’m surprised by how little attention it has gotten.

[@nigeburgess5950]

Hi TheDammtuss. Yeah fair call. When we pay premium prices and buy models of such historically significant, in his case, a vessel. It is disappointing for such a seemingly simple fix. However, I think the greater mistake is leaving out a minifig of this main set, and having to get the GWP to get one. That seems unfair to me. Mind you, we should also focus on the goodness of the set and that we have one in this first place, and by the looks of it, done very well. So we should celebrate Lego in this regard. Ill be getting it regardless.

[@ano_nym]

@@nigeburgess5950 wait until you hear about modeling, where you can buy Bismarck and it comes with whited out flags while claiming great historical accuracy...

[@imperialbricks4217]

It was the red ensign lol do the research

[@Bjornbrorsan]

@@imperialbricks4217 I’m afraid that it’s more likely you who are incorrect, as there’s both photo evidence as well as written down first-hand accounts clearly stating that she indeed flew the Blue Ensign. In fact, one of these accounts is that of Sir Ernest Shackleton himself who noted that “the blue ensign flies still” as the ship wrecked (see Shackleton, South: the Story of Shackleton’s 1914-1917 Expedition, p. 86 ff.). His statement is, as mentioned, also supported by photo evidence from the wrecking which, although not in color, shows her flying the Blue Ensign.

[@imperialbricks4217]

@ false on every model ever built of the ship you can see the red ensign, the endurance documentary mentions the red ensign and there are official accounts of the ship flying the red ensign not blue, you’ve gotta be trolling? Where do you get your info from?

[@ryanshouse6349]

Im so excited with Lego's new trend of making historical ships like this! Hoping for the Edmund Fitzgerald or the RMS Carpathia next, maybe even the Lusitania?

[@TiagoCatarino]

And they all sank... Is there a connection?! 👀

[@AndyBuildsStuff]

I'm hoping for USS Constitution or HMS Victory!

[@cjduplessis5781]

​@AndyBuildsStuff their sadly military ships so lego wouldn't make them.

[@vedranlucev1837]

I would like to see the Swedish Wasa. It is really a magnificent ship, it was so tall and ornate that it... sank immediately after launch. Hmm, I notice a pattern.

[@AndyBuildsStuff]

@@cjduplessis5781 We'll see! That these ships were constructed 200+ years ago gives me hope that Lego will do a Constitution or Victory set some day.

[@VeekerStudios]

Great review. The ship looks fantastic, and makes me hopeful for an HMS Terror/Erebus, though those may be too similar to Endurance for them to consider. But hey, fits the tragic theme!

[@harrytodhunter5078]

I don’t mind the slightly more staggered look of the hull compared to the Titanic, as the Endurance is in a much larger scale (around 1:55 I think) compared to the Titanic (1:200), so its shaping would stand out more.

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

We need a Lego HMS HOOD and a Bismarck next for the "Sunk Ships" line Lego has started.

[@imperialbricks4217]

[@TaylorWadsworth-cl3pw]

Lego doesn't do war sets ww2 and onward tho

[@lewisschreffler]

If you want to have HMS Hood and Bismarck, look up the brand cobi. I Actually have those ships at home, allso have Yamato, CV Enterprise and USS Missouri

[@lewisschreffler]

@ yes dude COBI is sick. When I was younger and couldn’t buy my own legos I wanted the USS Enterprise so badly. Never got it though, and my WW2 plane infatuation has passed unfortunately

[@Bluewolve-w2w]

I was at the Lego store in London and bought it but I got for free Shackleton’s lifeboat and his minifigure was there

[@alphonsesuitperson]

This is one of the rare GWP's that is possible to get on PAB, the torsos are 6434395 6374765 from Ollivanders set and the Batcave Shadow box. And it doesn't look like there are any printed stickers in it as well. So if you Really want A mini, at least it is possible even years after the fact. I do think its a good value, and really enjoyed your review about all the building details. Also think this set will be a Boon to Shipmakers on PAB with all the different sails and sizes. Hoping that one of the BPD sets in 2026 is a boat!

[@Paperfiasco]

While I tend to prefer my kits to be either modified in scale or scaled up or down to accommodate for minifigs, I’ll take this if we get more sailing ships in the future (provided they make it past all the voting).

[@bobbyc912]

Great review. Never heard of Endurance (I’m in the US) until this set was announced. Remarkable journey to Antarctica with everyone surviving (except the cat and the dogs 😢) the shipwreck after being stranded for over a year. Love this set and love ships in general. Definitely day 1 purchase with the GWP.

[@bumblepea]

It’s an amazing story (minus the animals) - Harry McNish the carpenter who owned Mrs Chippy (the cat) reportedly fell out with shackleton when he ordered him to be shot and may have been a reason why he argued a lot with shackleton and wasn’t on the list to receive the Polar Medal on their return. Theres also now a monument to Mrs Chippy in New Zealand.

[@RagenRibbonz]

Just purchased! I was really going back and forth on this one-I usually like the more play-oriented sets and modulars, but it really does look so cool and a great value. And it seemed a shame if I ultimately decided to get it later after the GWP deal was over, bc that really does seem essential, so I pulled the trigger! (And the record player GWP that’s also up now is super cute.) (FYI if anyone reads this in time, it also helped that there’s a Black Friday deal for 75% off 3x$5 insider discounts if you have the points to spend.) That, along with some of my regular points banked really helped seal it. Also, I almost forgot to use your link, so I took everything out of my cart and came back here for you! lol. :) Thanks for the great reviews as always!

[@luciusvorenus1870]

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

Gorgeous set and great review as always, Tiago! A suggestion of something that came to my mind while watching this video: often in your reviews you describe and show some building techniques and steps that you really enjoyed for the set, so I thought it could be interesting to get a behind the scenes video on how you prepare your videos. E.g.: do you just build the set and write down some things that you liked and then take it to the studio and take it apart to film the things you want to, or you film/write the script as you are building it for the first time?

[@TiagoCatarino]

Build, script, shoot. If I see something while building that would be worthwhile talking about in the video, I take the set to studio and shoot those bits, then try not to forget to write about it when scripting.

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

@@TiagoCatarino So it is more of a spontaneous process. Thanks for the insight!

[@roelhendrickx4302]

Good question!

[@TiagoCatarino]

I wouldn't call an heavily scripted video as spontaneous. Spontaneous to me feels like something done easily and quickly. This is not a quick and easy process, at all.

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

@@TiagoCatarino I just meant in the sense of during the build you discover naturally these moments of "hey, that's something I want to put in the video!"

[@skeletonpatch]

This ship looks awesome and if it included more traditional hull pieces I might have picked it up for MOC purposes to build a pirate ship. I missed out on Barracuda Bay a few years ago and am still unhappy about that. Those brown masts are definitely gonna get ordered off Bricklink once they’re available though!

I was hoping this model went in a different creative direction. I wanted to see part of a mini-fig scale ship stuck in an ice flow with mini-fig crew members that better captured the essence of the survival story and how the Endurance is remembered.

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

So I could get three GWP with this set? The Lifeboat, Record Player and Christmas Train as well 2x vip points...or have they pulled a "Lego" and made it so getting all 3 is impossible.

[@TiagoCatarino]

The two others you mentioned are Insiders Weekend only or do they extend until Black Friday? Because if they do, then yes, you could possibly get them all!

[@clark2109]

There will also be a Shackleton compass available for points when the Endurance releases.

[@grahamfairbank6085]

3 GWPs yes. Double points no, as this releases after Insider's weekend.

[@ArcofZen]

100% getting this as soon as it comes on sail (lol)because I have to have the GWP that goes with this model. I see why they do it, but keeping the minifigure in a limited edition GWP that will sell out very quickly is a dubious thing to do. The GWP will be a crazy price on the secondary market that's for sure.

[@tonybowers9490]

First things first - Thank you for your review. Well done. Black Friday is a memory, and I have some bad ones concerning my attempt to get the GWP. Was on the LEGO site prior to midnight and put into a 'waiting room'. I guess to limit the number of shoppers in the store? After a couple of minutes I'm allowed to access the main website. Get an Endurance in my cart and the GWP is in it too. Click on the Confirm and Pay button and the website crashes. It stayed unusable for the next 20 minutes, so I gave up. I then returned at 4am and the website was working, but the GWP was gone. Isn't that great? Shame on you LEGO. I called LEGO to complain. They gave me $20 in VIP points. I told them it was like being in a store when they first open, getting your items in your cart, and then having the retailer refuse to let you purchase the items. It's a metaphorical slap in the face.

[@TriassicBricks]

I'm so excited

[@harrytodhunter5078]

While I agree the Lego Titanic's hull looks more seamless, I do prefer the stepped nature of the Lego Endurance's hull as it better represents the shape of the real ship.

When I have some spare cash and time, I want to experiment with modifying the bow to try and get that more realistic look.
