Not a bad set at all
on February 8, 2018

There's some fluff pieces, but not many. Personally, I think the bottle has too many pieces in it, and the "clarity" of the bottle really suffers. There are almost no larger pieces in this set. The bottle contains scores of 2x1x1/3 pieces that should very well have been 6x1x1/3 pieces both for strength and clarity. The biggest disappointment here is the bottle, as I've mentioned. Either new elements should have been introduced, or larger elements used. The price is high for this model, most likely due to the inflated piece count the water studs bring. The stopper design for the bottle really is stellar, and saves the bottle from being complete chaos. The ship itself is very good for the scale represented. It scales at a decent ratio to the bottle. Slightly longer, still with three masts, but with 4 cannons per side would have been ideal. The base really brings this model home. The built in "compass" feature under the bottle is nothing short of great, I only wish it were a more prominent part of the final display.
Overall, I'm proud to own this one, but the urge to pick some bricks and modify the bottle is going to be hard to fight. I certainly hope for more of these great display builds in the future.

cool idea, terrible design

got this as a gift, would not have bought it for myself. But i thought i would give it a try. Was painful to build lots of tiny parts that didn't really work together well. Finished product is very fragile.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Emily, Customer Service, January 24, 2019
Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some frustration with the set.
If pieces aren't fitting together properly or your set doesn't seem very sturdy, that could be a sign that something's a little off in your build. The best thing to do is a little bit of reassembly, making sure that every piece is in the exact right spot and that everything is pressed tightly together.
If you need a hand troubleshooting the build, you can always get in touch at LEGO.com/Service.

Nice display set

It is a nice build and the size of the end product is good, not too big but big enough to draw the eye. The main difficulty was knowing the differences between the gold and orangy-brown colors in the instructions. This might have to do with my inexperience in building with those colors. The build was quite fast. With 25 minutes for the ship and 55 minutes for the bottle and base, of which I used 5 minutes to count the 284 elements used for water. Those elements are not used anywhere else, so I ended up taking the top from the bottle and putting all of them in. (After counting I had some left over.) I kind of like this design, so I might end up never taking it apart, however the transparent items might end up in one thing or another. I made one modification to the design, where I took a spare slope brick from the hull of the ship and put it on the bow, to make the bow less straight. The element separator is a nice addition, but I did not need it.
The compass decoration on the base is nice, but is almost completely hidden by the ship and bottle. The needle spins good, but it would be nice if it was a bit less loose so I can point it to the north :).
The only part of the product that I might redesign is the cork. I think the attempt at detailing has failed. I think I might replace the wheel part with something else.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A good time for this insomniac

Great fun as a late-night impulse build. I felt the urge for Lego at midnight and didn't stop building until it was finished at 4AM. Worth it!

The designers did not do a good job with this as it is very figity and the bits are so small and clear it’s hard to see what your doing. Looks cool in the end but building it was not enjoyable. These creators didn’t do well
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
