On 1st December 2023, the final LEGO Ideas set of the year of 21344 The Orient Express Train will be released but the theme is not stopping there. The now 18+ theme of LEGO Ideas will continue into next year with two brand new sets releasing on 1st January 22024. One of these is 21345 Polaroid Camera which for $79.99 will be a brick-built LEGO version of the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 camera which was released back in 1972.
The original submission of the brick-built Polaroid Camera by Minibrick Productions included 538 pieces. In comparison, LEGOs official version which releases on 1st January 2024 includes 516 pieces suggesting a very similar yet more polished build of the iconic camera. It also may be slightly smaller as it'll measure 16 studs deep and 12 studs wide according to Youtuber Brick Clicker.
However, by LEGO 18+ standards, the set includes quite a few stickers rather than prints. The main stickers of the set are of the text 'Polaroid Land Camera' and 'onestep' which are located on the front of the camera. Luckily the rainbow strip down the centre of the Polaroid Camera is neither a sticker nor a print and instead entirely brick-built.
The Polaroid Camera isn't the only build included in 21345 as three plastic vinyl photos also come with that $80 price tag. The photos displayed on the pieces of vinyl include the LEGO house, a woman in a harbour and a man looking at a camera film. A white SX-70 film photo cassette is also included as the third and final build of 21345 Polaroid Camera. This is ten studs wide and includes the Polaroid logo along with other bits of text.
