This was a great build. I stepped away from the norm, meaning Lego cars and decided to give this a try. It was great fun, I also discovered the Lego building book on the Lego site. Made it a lot easier.
My first experience with large project like Endurance and was amazed with design, engineering and manufacturing QC of this kit. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. All the pcs fit and there were no missing pcs.
Definitely getting the Van Gogh Sunflowers next.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're glad you got to build this set without any issues, and are thrilled with the final product! We hope that you find the 31215 Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers as fun to put together too.
I absolutely love this set. I’ve been dreaming for years that LEGO would lean into “model ships”, and now that they have—it has completely exceeded my expectations.
This build is big, beautiful, and incredibly satisfying. The details are impressive, and the final product looks amazing—mine’s proudly displayed on top of my piano and it’s already a staple piece in the house. As someone whose home decor is 90% Lego based, this set stands out as one of my favorites.
I truly hope this is just the beginning of a new line of historical ships/boats. I can’t wait to see what other model ships LEGO creates next!
I loved this set! The building experience was so fun! I loved building the decks and the cabins. The only tedious part was the lifeboats, but that was over fast. It was fun, and I recommend this set for any builders that want a nice build or love Shackleton's history and legacy.
The Endurance is an enjoyable build. Nothing challenging, nothing terribly awesome, and--like the Titanic--lots of the same pieces assembled repetitively. But that's what's enjoyable about building Endurance--the zen-like calm, and mind-clearing tranquility such repetition brings. It's a great respite from the chaos of living in the transition from democracy to dictatorship.
