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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Message In a Bottle...
on December 24, 2018
Posted by: VariousBones
First of all, I love this set. It is, in my opinion, one of the the best sets Lego Ideas has released. I'm a big fan of "display only" sets because, well, I'm a 40 year old man and I don't play with muh Lego sets, so it's nice to see something so beautiful to display that isn't an architecture set or something my kids are begging me to play with.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow and only took about 2 hours to assemble. There was a minor amount of what I call non-traditional building going on (for example, laying bricks in place without them being secure), of which I am not the biggest fan, but because the ship and bottle are not going to be picked up and jostled around I'm not worried about them falling out.
I know folks have complained about the bottle design being flimsy, but mine wasn't. Maybe I'm just a better builder, but it held together quite well. I also read complaints about using smaller clear panels which supposedly obscured sight of the ship within. Well, the smaller panels were necessary to accommodate the ship sails which are built as such to fit into the tight dimensions of the bottle. There's a reason for why everything was designed the way it was and nobody, ever, anywhere is going to fail to recognize that the set is clearly a ship in a bottle.
Overall, this is a beautiful set and a wonderful conversation piece. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderfull display set.
Fun build, some interesting ways of building the ship and the bottle.
Can be displayed anywhere, it doesnt even look like LEGO from 1m away, if you like how it looks, buy it, if you want something to play with, you might want to get something else, its not built to be played with.
and something that allways makes me happy, not a single sticker, everything is printed.

Fun build!

A fun (and sometimes frustrating) build. As others have mentioned, the ship lacks detail, and maybe it was just me, but the sails fell of the mast any time I touched it. But it was a lot of fun to put together, even though my heart stopped for a second when I opened up the bag with all the small clear pieces.
It's a great display piece. The 1x1 clear blue parts are a really nice touch. The stand is very cool.
Overall, I'm really happy with this build!

Frustrating... But worth it... In The End.

When i first saw that they had announced the ship in the bottle, I knew I had to have it. It was exactly what i wanted. Something that is not your everyday item and not your everyday lego set.
The set itself is an amazing set, i had a lot of fun building it. Even if half way through i felt like i wanted to cry because the bottle just wouldn't stay together and the boat would not stick to the bricks in the bottle.
But it was a great build, it kept me distracted for around 4-5 hours. Hours, which flew by. It's one of my favourite sets to build. Even though, sometimes, i felt like i was literally a guy building a literal boat in a literal boat, one false move and you'd have to start again (Meterophically Speaking).
But, when you get to the end and it's placed in its own LEGO stand, The Leviathian, looks amazing!!

Favorite display set of all time.
on February 4, 2018
Posted by: Paul2
This is my favorite display set of all time. The ship is beautiful, and I'd have bought it alone as a display set. The bottle looks excellent, very well-thought out. The stand is well-built, clever, and enhances the look of the set. I, personally, did not use the blue water-studs, but they do not hurt the look of the set. Only complaint: the shade of brown used for the ship. Too orange. Loved the printed pieces, and the design on the sails was great. 100% satisfied.

Unique and Wonderful!

I was a bit hesitant to get this at first because the build seemed too simplistic and the cost felt steep but I was wrong. So many intricate pieces and the design was more challenging than expected. Looks so nice when completed and makes a great showpiece on my bookshelf next to my other favorite Ideas build, the Old Fishing Store. Kudos to the original designer for such an original and thoughtful creation!!

Unique!

Really neat set. Bought it to put on the fireplace mantle. My 12-year old son built the ship that goes inside the bottle. I built the bottle. Working with so many clear pieces proved challenging. Definitely a set for a seasoned Lego fan. Must use little “wiggles” and gentle pushing to get some pieces together as some parts are fragile and crumble apart if using too much force. I really, really like this piece and highly recommend.
