LEGO Ideas 21345 Polaroid OneStep 5X-70 Camera Officially Revealed | January 2024

Many LEGO sets for 2024 have been revealed over the last week or so and we can now add a LEGO Ideas set to that long list of sets. The now 18+ theme of LEGO Ideas will continue into next year with one set releasing on 1st January 2024 and another releasing just a month later on 1st February 2024.

In particular, this LEGO Ideas set releasing on 1st January 2024 is 21345 Polaroid OneStep 5X-70 Camera which for $79.99 will be a brick-built LEGO version of the iconic Polaroid OneStep SX-70 camera which was released back in 1972.

The original submission of the brick-built Polaroid Camera by Minibrick Productions included 538 pieces. In comparison, LEGO's official version which releases on 1st January 2024 includes 516 pieces due to LEGO making a very similar yet more polished build of the iconic camera. It is also ever so slightly smaller as it'll measure 16 studs deep and 12 studs wide.

However, by LEGO 18+ standards, the set includes quite a few stickers rather than prints. The main stickers of the set are the text 'Polaroid Land Camera' and 'onestep' which are located on the front of the camera. Luckily the rainbow strip down the centre of the Polaroid Camera is neither a sticker nor a print and instead entirely brick-built.

The Polaroid Camera isn't the only build included in 21345 as three plastic vinyl photos also come with that $80 price tag. The photos displayed on the pieces of vinyl include the LEGO house, a woman in a harbour and a man looking at a camera film. A white SX-70 film photo cassette is also included as the third and final build of 21345 Polaroid Camera. This is ten studs wide and includes the Polaroid logo along with other bits of text and details.
