Excellent Building Experience

When I first saw that the Ship in a Bottle was available, I thought that this would be an excellent project for my 9 year old grandson who is an above average Lego builder. I thought that even though the kit is supposed to be for a 12+ year old that my grandson could easily put it together. He has no problem putting together Lego kits. He completed the kit in about 2.5 hours without any problems in following the step-by-step instructions. The finished product is beautiful. We need to find a good place to display the Ship in a Bottle. My grandson took pride in what he had built and even sent a photo of the fished kit in a text message to one of his uncles.
This is truly the nicest looking set of any I own, beautiful!
It is worthy of being placed on the mantle. This set more than most others would fit any decor, not just "nerd chic". It really doesn't look toy-like, like many sets do.
This is easily the most fun and challenging build I've done. Many different building techniques. A very satisfying build.
Do yourself a favor and pick one up while they're out, you won't regret it.
Great set. Great design. Out of dozens of sets that I have this is one of my top 3 favorites for the build and design. I really like so much of this set, the cork & bottle neck, the bottom of the bottle, the masts, the tiny cannons, the compass, the whole stand, and more. The pouring in of the 'water' was quite unique & kind of fun... Even the box is good design, it can easily be closed and reopened. LEGO!- Please make all or at least more boxes like this! I think the biggest gripe that could be said about this set is all the small pieces- see pic -(not the 'water', thats great) Overall worth the purchase, great display, not for playing.
Don't see how pouring in pieces is buiding anythin

I don't see pouring Lego's as the same as building something. I bought this set opened it up and was disappointed. The pieces are big and almost 300 of it is water you just pour in not even clip it to anything. Kind of takes building out of it doesn't it?! Ended up returning it. Because almost a third of it you don't build. Did however build the ship and it was a little on the generic side.
As soon as I saw this set online, I rushed to the store the next day and bought it for myself. I mean, it's a LEGO ship in a bottle. Come on, how awesome is that?! It's a straightforward build, broken up into 3 steps. The instructions are easy to understand, however, it can be difficult to make out the clear pieces when making the "bottle" part. Other than that, the only part that can be "challenging" is keeping the masts and sails straight and lined up. This set looks just incredible on display, and will stay on my shelf for a long time to come.
When I first heard of this LEGO I was intrigued. It definitely is a really cool design. I ordered it as a gift for myself on my birthday and when it arrived I was not disappointed. It didn’t take that long for me to build, maybe a hour or two at most, but the final result is amazing. I have a really cool display shelf and it fits perfectly up there with another LEGO I got for Christmas. My favorite thing about it is the cool base that the bottle sits on. There’s a compass in the middle and I love how you can take the bottle off the stand and look at it closer. Definitely one of my favorite LEGOs I know own. It’s definitely more of a display item than a toy, so I wouldn’t recommend it as something that you could play with.
