Update 7/11/2024

LEGO® Icons 10335 The Endurance has been officially announced by The LEGO Group so be sure to get all the details.

The hull has sprung another leak!

The Classic Pirates have some new potential details for the 2024 Black Friday exclusive set, 10335 Endurance Polarship.

Here’s what we’ve learned…

The New Details

The eagle-eyed among ye will have noticed a slight deviation in the name from Endurance Ship to Endurance Polarship.

Guess The LEGO Group wants the world know this ship is as far removed from the tropical Caribbean waters as yer can get!

The Endurance – best served on ice

But the real nugget of information is the set will have 3,011 Pieces.

Meaning it will contain almost twice the Part Count of 10210 Imperial Flagship, the largest ship in the LEGO Pirates theme which clocks in at 1,664 Pieces.

But as with any rumour, these details are liable to change or disappear completely!

Gift With Purchase

The Endurance Polarship will be accompanied by a Gift With Purchase, baring set number 40729 and containing 232 Pieces, and two minifigures.

The Gift With Purchase is rumoured to be inspired by the  James Caird boat

This set is speculated to be inspired by the James Caird, the boat launched by Sir Ernest Shackleton to obtain rescue for the crew of the Endurance.

Many historians regard this voyage in a 6.9 metre (22.5-foot) ship’s boat as one of the greatest small-boat journey ever completed.

Where Did These Rumours Emerge?

And once again the Classic Pirates must remind this information should be treated as a rumour which may eventuate to nothing! Or maybe it’s part of The LEGO Group’s cunning marketing strategy to drip feed information to AFOL communities to generate hype surrounding an upcoming release.

Who knows? We will discover the outcome in November!

But This ISN’T a Pirate Ship!

Aye, the Classic Pirates hear yer! It isn’t an Imperial ship, nor a merchant ship, nor a ship directly related to the LEGO Pirates theme.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End sailed into icy waters – so too can your LEGO Pirates!

Nonetheless, some pirates and LEGO history enthusiasts be very excited for such a release so we’re providing coverage for their benefit.

And who knows… with a few slight modifications it might make a perfect pirate or imperial ship!

And if yer unfamiliar with The Endurance, we’ve prepared a Historical Overview to bring yer up to speed:

10335 The Endurance Polarship is expected to retail for US$259.99 / £219.99 / €259.99 and be released on 29 November, 2024 under the LEGO Icons line.
