Challenging but fun
on April 26, 2021
Posted by: Smartyarty
For me, personally, this build wasn’t as simple as others have stated. But it was a fun build overall. There was a day that I was building the bottle and it kept falling apart in my hands. I had to put it aside and come back to it the next day. I basically had to rebuild the whole thing again. Tip: the sides of the bottle is best built when standing up on a flat surface. The stand also can be confusing if you’re not looking at the pictures really well when you’re putting things on. I did not expect it to be as big as it was when completed - but I still love it! I’d recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ahoy! This Ship be great says I!

From start to finish this set is an enjoyable build. I've never seen Lego release a set quite like it. It is very unique. It was difficult to attach the top of the bottle just right. It wasn't anything over the top challenging, but it definitely would takes an advanced builder. It's not as big as the original fan created, but the size is probably just right.

First Build in 15 years
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: 3NorthKenny
This was my first build since I was 11/12 I am now 26 almost 27. It was a great way to get back into Legos! Since I’m not used to building Legos I had a little trouble but figured it out a couple minutes later. Anyway if you’re just getting in or back into Legos I definitely recommend this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ship in a Bottle
on February 3, 2018
Posted by: JtFaretra
I usually stick with Star Wars sets, but I saw this kit online and had a perfect spot for it. I really enjoyed this kit; A lot of small pieces but still very enjoyable to build. I am most impressed with the bottle. The design and build of the bottom is pretty cool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Interesting set
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: jjwatters
I really enjoyed building this set. Building the bottom on the bottle was intriguing. The visual effect is excellent with this set. When I first saw this set I thought it was perfect to go along with the Old Fishing Store Set. I have both in my office. I do agree with other reviews that the ship is small, but I can understand why; the size of the bottle in proportion to the ship.
I have one complaint about this set. It is not very sturdy. In my opinion, this set is not intended to be played with, unless you take the ship out of the bottle. Moving the set requires rebuilding the set (personal experience - multiple rebuilds). The neck of the bottle becomes detached very easily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Display
on February 1, 2018
Posted by: ysma
This set is a great as a home display, with these colourful bricks the building is amazing and so much fun.
The only cons I find the price in Canadian $is a little bit high, and the designer could have merged two pieces of WALL ELEMENT 1X4X3 Element 4594686 to form a big piece WALL ELEMENT 1X4X6 this would make the ship more visible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great activity for Mum & Dad
on March 5, 2018

The ship in a bottle was clearly designed for a couple, when you need to build at least two of everything.
It was brought as a gift and my partner and I sat down for 3 hours and spent some quiet time helping to piece it together.
I did not believe it was possible for 921 pieces to come out of something that looked so easy, but you got me.
What I also found challenging was the clear Lego pieces, which all had to be built to make the base of the bottle. Silly me thought it came in larger blocks.
But we had fun and it was well worth the money. My only problem is I have children who will destroy it and I'm unsure about taking it all apart just to glue it together or not.

I’m really glad to hear that you and your partner are enjoying this set! Sounds like it allowed for a few solid hours of quality time, which is always great. This set was designed for display not for playability in mind.
We don’t recommend ever introducing adhesives to the brick. Over time the ingredients in those substances could potentially disrupt the integrity of the brick. I would recommend to keep this set high up or on a shelf available for display.

Message in a bottle
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Jedidiah4u
It’s a ship in a bottle made of LEGO’s! The details are so clever. I love how the ship sets on the clear blue water- it’s my favorite detail. It goes well with my nautical decorations. The building instructions are just as detailed and beautiful as the end result.
My family loves to slip messages in the bottle to each other. When my nephews visit there is always a note from them. So when LEGO brought this build back I bought one for each of them. This ship in a bottle LEGO set is part of our family and will be here to share our messages throughout life.
I would recommend this to a friend!
