Nice display set
on February 10, 2018
Posted by: PietervdStar
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!

Horrible set
on June 28, 2021
Posted by: Lego fanatic 2014
My son has done many lego sets and this is by far the worst out of all. It’s very fragile the pieces keep breaking easily and it had missing pieces too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poorly Designed
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: Watkins
I agree with another reviewer, this model looked intriguing but the flimsy design lead to multiple rebuilds and constant repairs. My husband enjoys watching my builds but this time he was told not to go NEAR my desk for fear it get jostled and dismantle. I realize that Lego uses standard brick designs, but the masts have so little "wiggle room" in the bottle construction that one finger twitch destroys the boat. I love the fan design program, but the production team needs to pay more attention.
No, I would not 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!

It’s ok
on January 6, 2019

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

Really enjoyed building this set, with much little detailing. And impressed with the bottle! Every Legobuilder should have it!
