Every Beatles fans dream (well, mine at least) of owning the Fab Four in LEGO form will finally come true on 1 November when the Danish toy form releases a new set based on the 1968 animated film ‘Yellow Submarine’.

All four Beatles are faithfully recreated as Minifigs alongside a tiny Jeremy from the film, as well as the yellow submersible itself.

The set, officially titled ‘LEGO® Ideas 21306 Yellow Submarine’, that goes on sale next month for £49.99 was designed by LEGO fan Kevin Szeto who originally submitted his design to the company’s crowd-sourcing design program Ideas.

The scheme was also the source of previous entertainment-inspired sets including the ‘Ghostbusters’ car, the ‘Doctor Who’ TARDIS, and the ‘Back To The Future’ DeLorean.

“As an amateur musician and songwriter, I have always been drawn to the music of The Beatles,” Kevin Said. “The creation of the Yellow Submarine model was really my way of showing my affection for The Beatles, as well as trying to pay a small tribute to The Beatles phenomenon. The Yellow Submarine is bright, fun, and colourful, which also made it a good subject to translate into LEGO form”.

Amen to that.
