LEGO Icons 10335 The Endurance Officially Revealed | November 2024


One of the last LEGO sets of 2024 has been officially revealed and, not only is it a big model, its a beautifully crafted display set. In particular, this is our final LEGO Icons set of the year and this years Black Friday exclusive model. Black Friday always marks the start of Christmas shopping with plenty of sales, exclusive offers and discounts, and, just like the last few years, the launch of this brand new LEGO set.


Last year we witnessed the release of the hugely popular LEGO Marvel 76279 Avengers Tower and in 2024 we're getting 10335 The Endurance. The LEGO Icons 18+ model will be in the top 10 largest LEGO sets this year with 3,011 pieces included for a retail price of $269.99 / €269.99 / £229.99. 10335 hits shelves on Black Friday, the 29th of November 2024, alongside an exclusive Gift With Purchase of 40729 Shackleton's Lifeboat.


The historical Endurance ship is most famously associated with Sir Ernest Shackleton's legendary 1914 Antarctic expedition, which is considered one of the greatest survival stories in exploration history. During the expedition to cross Antarctica, the ship became trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea forcing Shackleton and his crew to abandon ship. Despite this, Shackleton's leadership ensured all 28 men survived and made it, on foot, to safety.


Now LEGO are paying homage to this historical ship with 10335 which is a beautiful, highly detailed and educational build as seen from today's official presentation of the set. LEGO has previously paid tribute to historical ships such as 10294 LEGO Titanic. This brick-built 18+ model was obviously much, much larger with a total of 9,090 pieces included whilst 10335 only includes 3,011 yet is still captured to such a high level of detail in the same microscale form.


The Endurance ship's hull is completely black whilst the main deck and superstructure are in white, brown and sand, with gold accents to give it a nice contrast. The deck contains multiple levels, connected by brick-built stairs and with removable sections to allow access to the interior cabins and steam engine. Covering the deck and all its hidden details are the three towering masts of the majestic ship which are made using ten LEGO fabric sails.


The overall model, placed on a brown brick-built display stand attached to a printed information plaque, measures over 47 cm (18.5 inches) high, 80 cm (31.5 inches) long and 24 cm (9.5 inches) wide. Other noticeable details of the 18+ model include 4 detachable lifeboats, a chained bower anchor and a ship’s wheel that operates the rudder.
