Real-life Ferris Wheels are always such a great attraction. They look amazing, and it’s fun to ride them too.

Really, one of the nicest LEGO sets ever made. And it can be motorized too, which is always fun!

The #10247 LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel will be available directly from LEGO on June 1st, with early access for LEGO VIP members starting in mid-May. Pricing is going to be as follows: US $199.99 – CA $229.99 – DE 179.99€ – UK £149.99 – DK 1499.00 DKK (Euro pricing varies by country). This is an excellent price for a 2,464 piece set! While we are waiting for the release of the LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel you might also like to check out the #10244 LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer, which would be an excellent companion set. I would also suggest getting the LEGO Power Functions parts now, because I expect there is going to be a shortage of them once the LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel gets released. You can find them all at the LEGO Power Functions section of the Online LEGO Shop.
