Where it came from
The Tribute to Jules Verne's Books set, released as part of the LEGO Ideas theme, originated from a fan-designed submission by Mathieu Andrieu. The concept was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the publication of Around the World in Eighty Days, aiming to encapsulate the spirit of Verne's influential contributions to the science fiction and adventure genres within a miniature, book-shaped display format.
The design features a micro-scale representation of a hot air balloon, a steam train, and a submarine, mirroring the iconic vehicles from Verne's most famous literary works. Upon its release, the set was well-received by the collector community for its nostalgic aesthetic and clever use of negative space, effectively serving as a desktop tribute to the Victorian-era imagination that defined early speculative fiction.
