The 9090-piece LEGO Titanic set seems to be back in stock and fans are over the moon about the same. Strangely, this comes soon after the news of the Titan submersible took over social media. The sub lost all contact during its descent to the Titanic wreck and reportedly imploded due to water pressure, as per BBC.
The Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic in April 1912 and has always been a subject of interest and fantasy both for researchers and common folk alike. It was the largest ship of its time, measuring over 882 feet and boasting a turn-of-the-century design.
While a LEGO set may not be able to do justice to the cruiser, it tries to offer a faithfully recreated version of the ship. Probably the largest LEGO displayable set to date, it measures over 135 cm (53 inches) in length and is meant for those aged 18 years or older.
LEGO's Titanic set costs $679.99
Released in 2021, LEGO's Titanic set, or set number 10294 is a colossal 9090-piece project offering a 1:200 scale displayable model of the drowned cruiser.

Meant for adult enthusiasts and collectors, the massive model comes with an age rating of 18+ and costs $679.99.

All about the Titan submarine
In a catastrophic turn of events, a Titan submarine that set out on an exploratory dive to the drowned Titanic imploded in the ocean last week. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the Titan submersible imploded while it was on its way to the Titanic wreckage.
At least five people onboard the submersible died in the tragic accident. After the news about the implosion came to light, several individuals raised questions about the Titan submersible's safety protocols.
As per BBC, the submersible was being operated by a modified video game controller as it received instructions from the team. After the sub lost communication, several rescue operations were launched to locate the vessel and its occupants. However, the Coast Guard announced that the sub experienced a "catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber" and confirmed that debris found on the sea floor belonged to the missing submersible.
