The Yellow Submarine is bright, fun, and colorful, which also makes it a good subject to translate into LEGO form.” The minifigures In the fan designer profile, Kevin describes the inspiration for the build, “As an amateur musician and songwriter, I have always been drawn to the music of the Beatles.

The instruction booklet is 152 pages, with 137 sets. (As a side note, I’ll be interested to see if my daughter reads my blog and calls me out on this.) The Package She’s home now for the summer so I dug Yellow Submarine out of the basement to rebuild and take the photos for this review.

The LEGO Group recently announced a new series of LEGO Art sets, designed with the adult collectors in mind.
