For the people giving 5 stars, what's your secret......The front bow does not stay together at all..........I've built it 10 times and every time it falls apart and will not stay together.
I would not recommend this product to anyone
Price point was good and the pics of the finished product look amazing
However if this is the standard for 18+ sets, maybe I'll buy duplo level lego sets
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Frustrating

Verified Purchase:No
I rebuilt the bow at least 3 times completely and the sections with the boat registration numbers too many times to count. I finally broke out the kraggle and it has stopped falling apart. Those nasty little curved blue pieces should be glued as well but I did not feel like taking it all apart again. Lego is supposed to be fun to build. This one is not. Have been told several times to stop or take a break or just throw it out. This was not engineered correctly. First time that Lego has disappointed me. I have “finished” step 8. Not sure when I will try to finish the rest of the build.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry you've not enjoyed your build on this occasion. We don’t recommend applying glue or kraggle to LEGO® bricks. We're always here to help if you're having stability issues with your set. Feel free to give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can take a closer look.
What an awful build . We have built over 100 sets Disney castle , Harry Potter , all the space shuttles and rockets , this by far is the worst , cheapest set ever . The horrible little blue piece that basically holds the bow together breaks every-time , We had to take apart about 20 times trying to keep it together. Terrible design , this one needs to get pulled bc it’s a definite flaw ! Do your sanity a favor and do not buy this set !
Building this set was a little frustrating. Many parts, especially in bag 4, the pieces were falling off as I built the substructure. I had to resort to glueing a few pieces to make things stable. The finished set looks good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I regret buying the JAWS set, terrible build.

The engineering behind this set is utter incompetence. I’ve built and rebuilt the bow 5 times and it falls apart every time. I’ve never hated building a set more, I think I’ll take a break from buying more legos as a result.
If I could feed this terrible set of bricks to the jaws shark itself, I would. Happily.
Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

The JAWS set 21350
on August 21, 2024
Posted by: Lisa
I have completed many Lego sets (over 75) from the colosseum to the Eiffel Tower etc. I found this the most frustrating set I have ever constructed. There was very little support pieces. I’ve read about those ‘little blue pieces’ in the bow. (I ended up using museum wax to hold them.) I found the whole kit hard to put together. Any pressure you used to connect pieces would cause other pieces to come apart. I normally let my 5 year old grandson to look, touch and ask questions. Not with this piece. Too fragile. P.S. I loved the movie

Disappointed

I’m regularly build legos and i’m very disappointed from this set. The instructions really don’t make a lot of sense as the boat is very sensitive to build and once you get tough things built on the top of the boat, it then asks for you to put something on the bottom of the boat which makes the build fall apart. also, a lot of pieces really don’t match up well so you end up having to force things to fit/which makes it very tough to not continue to break while you build.
i was really excited for this one but it’s been my least favorite to build yet.
I am 85+ Male who has built Lego sets w/ my children + grandkids & neighbors. Was really looking forward to building Jaws, however after initial 5 bags it has become a big not connected mess & too much Superglue to keep forward deck intact . Those aqua colored shoe bricks are 2 of the culprits & after that it just got worse with forward deck not entering rear section as it should have. Working on bag 6, hoping I can salvage this thing W/ play dough. Think my kit of first 5 bags were not giving me that "snap" that holds something of this structure together. Looking at my purchases last few years shows I have done quite an Ocean fleet, Jaws will have to be in background. Best of luck & your skills for all those that come after me !

If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!
