LEGO designer Ollie Gregory created the 1,739-piece set and reportedly had to use old bricks that hadn’t been used since 1987 to engineer the project.
“We always look to design things that people would like to put on their shelf, including my own, which is why we went for the ‘classic’ Mickey Mouse design with the iconic silhouette and color palette – as a surprise for builders, the characters insides are built from colorful elements inspired by classic outfits worn by the pair in the past,” Gregory said in a statement.
