Flimsy build
on August 12, 2024
Posted by: Doctor Kris
The build includes connections that are quite flimsy- especially the bow of the boat. The sharks connection to the base is poorly designed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Complicated

The first three bags were fine. I am on the fourth bag and have been for three days. Put together and taken apart numerous times. As soon as I put the sides on everything comes loose and I have to start over. Not my first build my any means but is very frustrating

Disappointed
on August 25, 2024
Posted by: ChicLobster092
My son and I have built a lot of LEGO sets over the years, Titanic, Saturn V rocket, Lighthouse, Space Shuttle, etc, some of the most complicated LEGO builds.
I bought the new JAWS set and was disappointed. First time ever we were missing parts in 30+ sets and the overall build process had some flaws, something I’ve never seen before. Especially in the bow, there is a weak spot that you don’t discover until several steps later when it fails, after disassembling and reassembling the bow 3-4 times my son and I went to his LEGO stash(which takes up half the living room) and found some parts to correct the issue. Per the instructions and parts, the bow is not as secure as you’d expect from LEGO. The entire structure of the bow relies on a one stud connection to hold almost the entire bow together.
My overall review is that LEGO rushed this set. They should have taken a little more time in the process to prevent some of these flaws. It would have been a simple fix just by adding an additional small part.
Just my opinion.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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 !

Disappointed by a set for the first time

Verified Purchase:No
I fell into LEGO fast and hard over the last 20 months- having gone from zero sets to 30 in that time period.
Each has provided me with an immense amount of joy (despite occasional moments of frustration when running into a provierbial “brick wall”). This is the first set that I was truly disappointed by.
The idea is fun and campy, but the execution is poor. I found several of the elements to not really fit well together or that the small pieces got in the way.
And then add the whole aspect of compiling the boat on the ocean foundation at a weird angle and then questionable decision of building the whole shark only to rip him in half (is there a thoughtful way to display the literal “tail end” of a demonic sea monster?) just didn’t seemed well thought out.
It suffered because I’ve come to know Lego as a maker of wonderfully whimsically and thoughtfully designed sets. Unfortunately this one sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
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.

I regret buying the JAWS set, terrible build.
on August 18, 2024
Posted by: AmbassadorPunctualGibbon
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!!!

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!
