Really cool

We bought this set on a whim and I am so glad that we did! The details are very nice and I love the "water" in the bottle. Very pleased with how it looks.
The boat was the only enjoyable part of this build. The pieces count is misleading as the 1x1 round plates for the water consist of over 300 of the pieces. The bottle was poorly designed and used many 2x2 plates were larger ones would have made a more stable model. Again this adds to the piece count which is artificially high due to the smaller pieces being used. The finished product does make a good display but there are much better choices out there. Would NOT recommend.
I have always wanted a ship in a bottle but I move alot for work so I was afraid it would break in the moves. But now we have a Lego version that will survive moves!! I love this!
Besides coming with a couple of pieces missing, Bag 2 of the set was a clunky build, hard to keep stable and needed to be partially disassembled a couple of times to get the ship to stay anchored properly. While the set is visually very attractive, the design flaws affecting the placement of the ship into the bottle led my son and I to give this build a thumbs down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! That certain doesn't sound fun; I'm sorry to hear you've experienced some trouble with your set.
It definitely shouldn't have been that tricky to get the ship to attach to the bottle. It sounds like something was maybe just a little off either on the bottom of the ship or in that section of the bottle. I'd recommend double-checking that all the pieces are in the exact right spot and that they're all pressed together tightly.
As for those pesky pieces, if you still haven't found them lurking in the packaging or elsewhere, don't worry! It's easy to get replacements. Just go to LEGO.com/Service and choose the "Bricks & Pieces" option to get started.
