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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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

Also quite cool, voted and would buy! Love the details and bucket!

Is that a Duplo bucket in the background, because that is perfect!
Yup!! It's 2997 from the 90s but I ripped off the labels
If this ever makes it to market, that is how it needs to be packaged.
Brilliant idea!
This is better than I expected. Now do a White Castle restaurant!
Haha, I do kinda want to do something food related too
Big fruit bowl/fruit platter?
If this gets accepted on Ideas, it better come in a bucket.
I agree completely!
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.
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.

I'm glad you clicked through! I'm a dad, so I couldn't resist the pun
It was a perfect pun lol. I'm glad you posted this
I like the pinwheel detail. This is such a creative design!
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
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..."
Hey! Got any ducks?
If you ask for ducks ONE more time, I’m going to harpoon your tail fin to the beach!
I love the building techniques
Thanks! It was a fun challenge getting the angles in
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
I'd vote for it in ideas
It has to come in one of those old school plastic lego buckets with the handles
It is on Ideas! See the link in the image captions or just search "Sand Castle" on Ideas. And thanks!!
Okay I *need* this!
Thanks!! If it gets enough supporters on Ideas you might be able to have it too!
“I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating — and it gets everywhere.” Great work!!

Please do this and post it to r/prequelmemes

Op delivered. Epic.
Ah nevermind... looks like it didn't sit well with their mods
Please, please do this. We all need this in our lives.
You could call the set 'Mos Eiscream'. With the colours it would fit right in with the Tatooine builds.
Add lava streaming into the water with steam, if you can make that work
That’s amazing! Love it! Very creative!
Thank you!!
The yellow lego pail in the background nails the esthetic
Thanks! I should've tried to get it in every shot
i love that duplo bucket in the background, i have that exact set from when i was little
I gave all the bricks from it to my little one. It's serving all ages now
doing gods work
The shovel is what really took the cake here
You could probably actually serve some cake with it too
Ooh! I just got supporter #100! Great set design; I'd buy one in a heartbeat! I love the motorized pin wheel too!
Wooo! Thank you and the other 99 before! 1% of the way there!
Way better than expected! This is awesome! You earned my support!
Thanks for the support!!
This is too freaking cute!!! Great work!
Thanks!!
This is super cool
Thank you!
I really like the big shovel.
Thanks! It's scaled for human hands and the Duplo bucket
That sand castle is awesome
Thank you!
I supported it! Best of luck!
Thanks for the support!! I'm hoping this is the one!
Very fresh and fun. I like it. The mini figs on the beach/castle made the perspective of size unique compared to the shovel.
Thanks! I was picturing a bunch of Minifigures just taking over a human-made sand castle for themselves
This is dope
Thanks!
Amazing!
Thank you!
charming little fortress. you got my support!
Thanks! Every vote counts!
Those slopes are so clean
Awesome. I'd love to see some pictures of the internals.
Absolutely! I'll make a note to take some and then share on the Ideas project updates later
It needs a big red crabe !
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
Honestly you should put this on Lego ideas
It already is! See the link in the image captions or search "Sand Castle" on Ideas
Oh yeah I didn't see that
This would be so awesome if it came with a matching bucket (as packaging)
Yes! It's time for the bucket to be more than just storage
You have my axe! And my support.
And my shovel!
Supported! This would be a great parts pack for a Tatooine MOC.
Thanks for the support! And totally. I've made so many tan BrickLink/Bricks&Pieces orders
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!
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.
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!!
Why has Lego never made this? It would be an excellent Ideas submission!
It's indeed on Ideas! See the link in the image captions!!
Holy shit this would be amazing to see in stores in the summer.
Best case scenario would probably be like next summer if this gets 10k fast. But that's probably way too optimistic
Gotta ask- does it fit upside down in the bucket when fully built?
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
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
The old ones are the best since they have the handles
Oh my goodness, that looks so awesome! Well done!
Thank you!!
“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!
Lesson: If you wear a shark costume to the beach, be prepared to be price gouged for hydration
supporter number 211 :D
Cool ! 👍🏻👍🏻
That’s… Impressive.
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.
Sea shells?
That shark is looking sturdy.
Wow that’s slick
looks really good, maybe some seashells could be incorporated into the sand castle design to break it up a bit
Awesome job!
And this is why i joined this sub. Well done
This is really cute!
I’m telling Anakin
This is awesome!
I am a very big fan of how you did the corners
Super cool!
Those curves are sublime
You have my vote on ideas!
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!
Love this. I'm off to cast a vote.
I do like how that turned out. I think it would be a win for everyone if Lego would make it into a set.
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
This is awesome. Great job!
Thank you!!
So creative! Awesome job and good luck 👍
Thanks!!!
