Another White Star Line ship is said to be joining the LEGO Icons line-up in 2026, sailing on to shelves in the wake of 2021’s 10294 Titanic.
BrickTap claims that the LEGO Icons 2026 range will include a set based on a vessel from British shipping line White Star Line, the same company behind the Titanic. There are no further details on when it might release, how big it might be, how much it might cost or even which ship it may recreate, but we do have a blueprint of sorts thanks to the 9,090-piece 10294 Titanic, which debuted at the end of 2021.
That enormous microscale model is still available almost four years later, and is currently scheduled to retire at the end of 2028 – making it the only non-2025 LEGO Icons set with that date. That suggests the ship, which is also the longest LEGO set of all time at 135cm, has been selling very well for the LEGO Group, so a follow-up doesn’t seem especially surprising.
If this rumour does prove true, it’ll be interesting to see whether it has the same grand scope and scale as the Titanic – so two sets of comparable subject matter and size end up sharing shelf space simultaneously – or whether it comes in at a different, perhaps smaller, size to better differentiate between the two models. It’ll be equally interesting to see which White Star Line ship it recreates.
Strong contenders include the Oceanic, Atlantic and Republic, all of which are Oceanic-class ocean liners (as opposed to the Titanic’s Olympic class), and the latter two of which are also remembered for respective disasters: the Atlantic sunk near Nova Scotia in 1873, while the Republic went down after colliding with the SS Florida in 1909.
With little else to go on at the time of writing, best to take this rumour with an incredibly hefty pinch of salt. 10294 Titanic, on the other hand, is very much real and
