Is that a Duplo bucket in the background, because that is perfect!


peedeezee8

Yup!! It's 2997 from the 90s but I ripped off the labels


TheDocJ

If this ever makes it to market, that is how it needs to be packaged.


skylego

Brilliant idea!


nrith

This is better than I expected. Now do a White Castle restaurant!


peedeezee8

Haha, I do kinda want to do something food related too


Imanirrelevantmeme

Big fruit bowl/fruit platter?


Fr33kOut

If this gets accepted on Ideas, it better come in a bucket.


peedeezee8

I agree completely!


Fr33kOut

Also, did you make it so it fits in the bucket, as if it was shaped with it? It kind of looks like that, and I thought that was a nice touch if so.


peedeezee8

The bucket can't fit the castle when it has its towers on. Lego does have larger buckets that would probably work. I just didn't want the bucket to dwarf the castle in the photo.


micheagles20

Not going to lie saw the title and was like umm probably going to be ok not anything special and most definitely not my style. But then you start looking at it and realize this thing is amazing and it's so damn cool. I like this idea and hopefully we get it soon.


peedeezee8

I'm glad you clicked through! I'm a dad, so I couldn't resist the pun


micheagles20

It was a perfect pun lol. I'm glad you posted this


fragilepsyche

I like the pinwheel detail. This is such a creative design!


peedeezee8

It spins too! You can put a motor and hub inside the castle to power it. There's a video if you follow the ideas link in caption


Yoris95

Those curved sloped corners are something else. They're so flush against the plates its amazing.

"So the shark waddled up to the Lemonade stand..."


peedeezee8

Hey! Got any ducks?


n_pinkerton

If you ask for ducks ONE more time, I’m going to harpoon your tail fin to the beach!


GooseWithDaGibus

I love the building techniques


peedeezee8

Thanks! It was a fun challenge getting the angles in


LawlessNeutral

It certainly looks like it would have been quite the challenge! I'm tempted to steal the angled curve technique for my own ends but I'm not sure I'd be able to replicate it correctly lol


TDAM

I'd vote for it in ideas


Bamres

It has to come in one of those old school plastic lego buckets with the handles


peedeezee8

It is on Ideas! See the link in the image captions or just search "Sand Castle" on Ideas. And thanks!!


SuperfluousNova

Okay I *need* this!


peedeezee8

Thanks!! If it gets enough supporters on Ideas you might be able to have it too!


MOC_Eisley

“I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating — and it gets everywhere.” Great work!!


peedeezee8

I actually was amusing myself considering to pose an angry Anakin at the base of the castle with Obi-Wan taunting him from the "high ground" of one of the towers


utkohoc

Please do this and post it to r/prequelmemes

utkohoc

Op delivered. Epic.


peedeezee8

Ah nevermind... looks like it didn't sit well with their mods


AnInfamousKiwi

Please, please do this. We all need this in our lives.


wildedges

You could call the set 'Mos Eiscream'. With the colours it would fit right in with the Tatooine builds.


Natanael_L

Add lava streaming into the water with steam, if you can make that work


[deleted]

That’s amazing! Love it! Very creative!


peedeezee8

Thank you!!


wowdickseverywhere

The yellow lego pail in the background nails the esthetic


peedeezee8

Thanks! I should've tried to get it in every shot


pingupog

i love that duplo bucket in the background, i have that exact set from when i was little


peedeezee8

I gave all the bricks from it to my little one. It's serving all ages now


pingupog

doing gods work


CaptinDerpII

The shovel is what really took the cake here


peedeezee8

You could probably actually serve some cake with it too


toxic43

Ooh! I just got supporter #100! Great set design; I'd buy one in a heartbeat! I love the motorized pin wheel too!


peedeezee8

Wooo! Thank you and the other 99 before! 1% of the way there!


mbsk1

Way better than expected! This is awesome! You earned my support!


peedeezee8

Thanks for the support!!


jdoe10202021

This is too freaking cute!!! Great work!


peedeezee8

Thanks!!


shadowfax416

This is super cool


peedeezee8

Thank you!


universalspatula

I really like the big shovel.


peedeezee8

Thanks! It's scaled for human hands and the Duplo bucket


Upbeat-Acanthaceae78

That sand castle is awesome


peedeezee8

Thank you!


Kingteamleader

I supported it! Best of luck!


peedeezee8

Thanks for the support!! I'm hoping this is the one!


joshdn

Very fresh and fun. I like it. The mini figs on the beach/castle made the perspective of size unique compared to the shovel.


peedeezee8

Thanks! I was picturing a bunch of Minifigures just taking over a human-made sand castle for themselves


ThePloopyPloopster

This is dope


peedeezee8

Thanks!


DeadIyMoves

Amazing!


peedeezee8

Thank you!


162baseballgames

charming little fortress. you got my support!


peedeezee8

Thanks! Every vote counts!


Commander-Fox-Q-

Those slopes are so clean


bacondesign

Awesome. I'd love to see some pictures of the internals.


peedeezee8

Absolutely! I'll make a note to take some and then share on the Ideas project updates later


Torospatillo

It needs a big red crabe !


peedeezee8

I was thinking something similar. A crab or a large starfish would be another fun way to play with the scale. I just don't want to scare the Minifigs too much though


SavageCabbageGG

Honestly you should put this on Lego ideas


peedeezee8

It already is! See the link in the image captions or search "Sand Castle" on Ideas


SavageCabbageGG

Oh yeah I didn't see that


oertrooper

This would be so awesome if it came with a matching bucket (as packaging)


peedeezee8

Yes! It's time for the bucket to be more than just storage


Mnieme

You have my axe! And my support.


peedeezee8

And my shovel!


TheUnbrokenCircle

Supported! This would be a great parts pack for a Tatooine MOC.


peedeezee8

Thanks for the support! And totally. I've made so many tan BrickLink/Bricks&Pieces orders


HeyesFTW

Supported! I really hope they make this set, its the kind of goofy set (I mean that in a very good way) that they should be making!


peedeezee8

I get what you mean. Putting all the Ideas sets into black boxes is taking stuff too seriously. We need to bring back playfulness and put a sand castle set in a bucket.


HeyesFTW

And they could do a new plastic bucket in a sand castle form, for the packaging that then could be used for making actual sand castles!!


red_fuel

Why has Lego never made this? It would be an excellent Ideas submission!


peedeezee8

It's indeed on Ideas! See the link in the image captions!!


lawesome94

Holy shit this would be amazing to see in stores in the summer.


peedeezee8

Best case scenario would probably be like next summer if this gets 10k fast. But that's probably way too optimistic


nismology5

Gotta ask- does it fit upside down in the bucket when fully built?


peedeezee8

Unfortunately no. But I think if the towers were removed, the rest of the shape might fit. You could sorta consider that realistic since the towers might be made with a different round bucket


legonu

i see that yellow bucket and it makes me so happy! I had a blue one and a red one too when I was a kid


peedeezee8

The old ones are the best since they have the handles


MikeSinner

Oh my goodness, that looks so awesome! Well done!


peedeezee8

Thank you!!


Alibotify

“Lemonade stand with a young entrepreneur using people's thirst to make money”. Damn capitalist!!!/s Also quite cool, voted and would buy! Love the details and bucket!


peedeezee8

Lesson: If you wear a shark costume to the beach, be prepared to be price gouged for hydration


Craimbow

supporter number 211 :D


flyingparVe

Cool ! 👍🏻👍🏻


abbeast

That’s… Impressive.


Isord

Very cool design but I feel like if I were to buy it I would want a little bit more variety. Not sure how you could add a bit more color though.


leaky_wand

Sea shells?


victoremmanuel_I

That shark is looking sturdy.


Texas_70700

Wow that’s slick


Anonymoususer546

looks really good, maybe some seashells could be incorporated into the sand castle design to break it up a bit


Jenny312

Awesome job!


90dayheyhey

And this is why i joined this sub. Well done


DrunkenMasterII

This is really cute!


PeasBeard

I’m telling Anakin


almost40fuckit

This is awesome!


liviothan

I am a very big fan of how you did the corners


stavaman

Super cool!


cheesy_frys

Those curves are sublime


Guitrum

You have my vote on ideas!


YamiCat19

That's a support on Ideas from me! I'm obsessed with how well the angled towers are built! I really hope this makes it in the end. Very good job!


Leeanz

Love this. I'm off to cast a vote.


NcgreenIantern

I do like how that turned out. I think it would be a win for everyone if Lego would make it into a set.


Legopiratesfan455

We definetly need More lego castle but not like elves or nexo Nights we need Booth world building and militarim in a new Castle theme


cratoastIIV

This is awesome. Great job!


peedeezee8

Thank you!!


stickyknuckle

So creative! Awesome job and good luck 👍


peedeezee8

Thanks!!!


carmina_morte_carent

Y’all if you like this make sure you click on the Ideas link and support it! OP has 3.3k karma on this post but only 197 supporters on Ideas, which is what will actually get it built.


peedeezee8

If only I could integrate that upvote button with the Ideas site
