LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle 21313 Expert Building Kit, Snap Together Model Ship, Collectible Display Set and Toy for Adults (962 Pieces)

Perfect

My daughter was looking for it long time. Very beautiful and perfect size.

This lego set is a really great display piece. Part of the LEGO ideas series, meaning a fan designed it and got the lego community to vote for it to be manufactured. I bought this knowing my son would like it. I didn't know how the build worked without reading reviews before ordering it (or before dropping it on the floor when cleaning his room...warning, careful when dusting around this! - it may fall apart if you even look at it the wrong way.) The premise is that you first build the stand. Then build the boat, build part of the bottle, attach the boat to the bottle and then finish building the bottle around the boat. The bottom of the bottle is simple enough to put together and is sturdy. Attaching the ship to the bottle and having it stay in place in the bottle without the ship falling part is tedious. Attach it to the bottom and the bow falls off. Try again and a mast or two comes loose or spins around. Try again and the stud falls off the bottom of the bottle where it attaches together. After its attached together, building the rest of the bottle around the boat also has to be done with care so that you don't knock parts off the ship. Probably the most fiddly set ever, so not good for those easily frustrated, but it looks really great when put together. Designed for a display piece on a desk or shelf with occasional rebuilds for fun - the ship isn't really meant to be played with unless the person likes lots of rebuilds. That can be fun for some kids. On this one, if your kid is into that, watch for all of the "water" pieces that can and will go everywhere. Looks really cool as a display piece - most impressive display I have seen to-date. The set is very detailed. The stopper and seal on the neck of the bottle and the compass add a lot of visual interest. I would definitely recommend this - one of my favorite sets ever - but younger builders will likely need some help.

I love this set. It's an awesome idea. Sure it's "low detail", but what do you expect from Lego BRICKS? I find it adds to the charm. The ship is well designed. The masts were a bit of a tight fit and a bit fiddly when it came to build the bottle around them. But when everything was adjusted, it fit and I was able to assemble the bottle properly This IS considered and "advanced" build, after all. As for the size, it's a nice size. It's about the size of a 26oz bottle. I do recommend wearing gloves while touching the clear pieces to avoid any smudges. Has to be one of my favourite sets, even if it's a "decoration". The price is a bit steep, but I looked passed it after seeing the size of the finished build. Keep the great ideas coming, Lego. I love this line.

Scam

Muy bonito y original. Del tamaño que se describe y precio justo por la buena calidad de Lego

One of the more unique LEGO sets out there, in my opinion. It is well executed and was fun to build, right down to the loose 'water' pieces and the compass needle that really rotates! (Compass isn't actually functional, though.) If you like LEGO and maritime themes or just ships in bottles, you can't go wrong with this one.
