The northern summer of 1975 was unlike any that had come before. There was a terrifying phenomenon never before seen: the cinema release that was so popular that people would queue up around the block to see it—the literal Block Buster. Forty-nine years ago last month, Jaws was released upon a population of unsuspecting holiday beachgoers!

The 1497-piece LEGO® set based on the 1975 summer blockbuster JAWS was designed by LEGO fan Johnny Campbell, and features characters Martin Brody, Matt Hooper and Sam Quint as minifigures, aboard the Orca boat – plus the shark, which can be displayed in its entirety OR with just the front half of the body, preparing to make a tasty snack of the fishing boat, ORCA.

The LEGO® Idea JAWS set will be available for LEGO Insiders from 3rd August 2024 and for all from 6th August 2024. It will be priced at €149.99 / 129.99 GBP/ $149.99/249.99 AUD/1399 CNY/199.99 CAD/3999 MXN.
