Looks Nice on the Shelf
on May 6, 2019
Posted by: aajj1144
So this is one of the nicer looking sets in my opinion. It looks amazing on the shelf and the details are excellent. However the piece count is severely inflated as a large chunk of the pieces are the small clear 1x1 pieces that make up the water at the bottom. The other negative I have is the bottle itself. The design is a head scratcher as there could have been way easier way to make the bottle. As it stands now, the bottle is very flimsy and prone to coming apart. I usually don't have any issues but when making the bottle it was a chore at time to get the pieces lined up properly to fit together. Besides some design issues this was a fun set and one I had my eye on for quite sometime. I don't regret buying it one bit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Definitely had fun building this set! To be honest, the meatiness of the set surprised me- the ship was smaller than I was picturing in my head, but the bottle was far more nuanced than I was expecting! Overall, it's definitely a nice collection piece that I'm happy to display as part of my Lego collection!

Lots of Details
on April 3, 2019
Posted by: TamiS
I am fairly new to this hobby. My husband has bought me a couple of the sets as they actually help me focus and alleviate anxiety by allowing me to occupy my mind with something healthier than stress and worry. I have built 3 sets so far but this is the one with the most detail. I loved the story about the original designer as well. It's a super cute piece that I actually have displayed as a centerpiece on one of our coffee tables in our home.

Interesting build, not very sturdy
on March 29, 2019

Was fun to build, but many pieces over-inflate the piece count and navigating around the ship's sails was not an engaging experience. Wish the build on the ship was of higher quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Maybe if I had more hands
on February 8, 2019
Posted by: Brickst
This was a very fickle build. The directions were hard to tell exactly where things attached to each other. Often had to drag in extra people to hold something while you were putting bottle together. The clear pieces are not like regular Lego plastic and resist solidly clicking together. When half way together I found an even bigger problem. The mast is too tall for it to slide in. Rechecked directions 4or 5 times and all pieces before it are in place correctly. Tried a no-no and tapped with a small wood mallet but to no avail. Ship with mast would not slide in bottle. In the end I has to bulge out one side of the bottle (seams are not clicked together fully) or the would be a bottle with no ship. Looks a bit sloppy. This one took longer than it should have but mostly for reasons above. Creative set but did not work out well. I gave it 4 bricks but that is really rounding up from 3 1/2.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear you experienced some frustration with your set.
It does sound like something is off with your build, likely earlier on in the bottle portion. The best thing to do would be to take the bottle apart and rebuild. And if you need a hand troubleshooting the build, our brick experts at LEGO.com/Service are always happy to help.

Really nice set, i know people are complaining that most of the parts are just single clear blue pieces but did you not look at the picture? you can clearly see thats what the water is made from..
i LOVE this set, has 0 play experience but the look of it is awesome, was fun to build too. looks really good just under the TV :)

cool idea, terrible design
on January 23, 2019
Posted by: savory
got this as a gift, would not have bought it for myself. But i thought i would give it a try. Was painful to build lots of tiny parts that didn't really work together well. Finished product is very fragile.

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some frustration with the set.
If pieces aren't fitting together properly or your set doesn't seem very sturdy, that could be a sign that something's a little off in your build. The best thing to do is a little bit of reassembly, making sure that every piece is in the exact right spot and that everything is pressed tightly together.
If you need a hand troubleshooting the build, you can always get in touch at LEGO.com/Service.

Best Display LEGO Set!
on January 23, 2019
Posted by: RibDawg
Wow this is awesome and I must say, I am quite impressed with the set!, One caveat to this is the instructions aren't very good. There are several times where the number listed above (# of blocks) does NOT equal the number needed for the step, or sometimes it puts the onus on you to figure out what steps need to be repeated. The average LEGO builder would be able to figure this out quite easily but it is a little frustrating to say the least. The end product is gorgeous (I actually did not receive all of the "water" blocks but they are shipping them to me).
I would recommend this to a friend!
