Awesome Lego !!!!
on February 18, 2018
Posted by: agtjustin
I thought this was going to be a small ship in a bottle as the part count was super high because of over 200 ' water ' pieces, but once assembled and on its stand, its an awesome display piece ! Glad I bought this before it retires. For sure a great collector Lego.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor design- misleading item count
on February 18, 2018
Posted by: Doolish
When I saw this I thought 'what a wonderful idea'.
Box arrived and thats when it all started to go downhill.
Clear plastic parts are scratched - I don't know why they thought this would not happen.
Bags number from one to four but infact bag three is all of the 'sea' parts (300) - there goes your item count.
The ship is a poor design as there is no interlocking between most of the parts so it can easily fall apart when trying to attach to the bottle base.
Additionally I had three of the clips that attach the sails to the mast snap - either part of a faulty batch or I suspect the rod is not designed to fit the clip. Have never had a problem with parts breaking in all the 40 plus models I have built.

Still waiting for the replacement parts so can't comment on how the finished model will look.
A very good idea let down by poor design. Also expensive when you compare the real item count. Very disapointing

Nice model
on February 18, 2018

As a display model this set is great. It is an interesting build with a few complications, especially keeping track of the transparent parts, so it requires some concentration. It's worth taking time with it, though, as the end result is very pleasing.
My only criticism is that with a bit more thought and few more bricks the appearance of the ship could have been improved. I read that another reviewer had added a spare 1x1 slope to the bow to improve the appearance and I did the same as I also had a spare. The exposed studs on the side of the hull could quite easily have been covered, and why was a red 1x1 with stud used for the flag instead of a 1x1 tile, which would have looked much better?
Nonetheless I enjoyed this build, the finished result looks great, and if you buy it knowing that it is nothing more than a display model then you won't be disappointed.

First Lego Build
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: wilfhh29
I am 41 years old and have watched my boys build many Lego things (usually Ninjago). I have never had a Lego build set until I saw this one. I love ships in bottles and thought it would be a fun piece to assemble. I am a complete newbie, but it took just over 2 hours to build. It was easy to follow the instructions. I really like how the bottle assembled. Everything was well-thought out. I look forward to finding other projects in the future.

Great For A Display
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: Jose0815
This set is perfect for a display in a bar, library, or bookshelf. It is a conversation starter. It is super creative, yet one of the more "professional" looking LEGO sets I have built to date. Great job!

disapointed
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: brickert
wow.This set looked so good online. But a second look shows how poorly it was designed. I built it, put it on display and realized that you can't see the ship very well. I'm not certain you could tell what it was if you didn't know. The bottle was poorly designed. It should have been one piece from bottom to neck, so that you could clearly see through it.Or at least 2 pieces so that there a clear view in front. Building the bottom was acceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Display Piece
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: KIJohn
As I have commented before, we are more collectors than anything else. Halfway through we realized we needed to keep the clear pieces clear of fingerprints. Wiped everything off and continued the build. As with the Saturn Rocket I am glad no stickers were involved. This is a quality build.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unique, but disappointing !
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: ChaosBruno
I was extremely excited for this set because of both the design and display aspect. The price seemed appropriate until I received the set. The box is rather small but I do enjoy the design of it(opens upward) and imagery. The build begins with ship which I did not find impressive at all. Simple and quick, not special in any sense. The bottle portions were very unsatisfying and I was really disappointed by this. Piecing together the small translucent pieces was the only difficult part for me because my eyes crossed and spun in the back of my head the longer I looked at them. The base which has compass is probably the coolest aspect in my opinion, yet the bottle and ship sit right above compass. Unfortunately not a must buy.
