LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle 92177 Expert Building Kit, Snap Together Model Ship, Collectible Display Set and Toy for Adults (962 Pieces),Multicolor

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.

This is such a cool toy. I see a couple of reviews that talked about the ship falling apart when putting it in the bottle but we didn't experience this at all. My 9 yr old was able to assemble this in its entirety all alone and said it did not provide any difficulty in getting it into the bottle. The little blue pieces that represent the water are very cool. I love the little stand on which the ship rests when complete. We've got a lot, and I mean a lot, of Lego sets but this is at the top of the list. It makes a wonderful display piece for a child's room where they can show off their Lego-building skill with a unique piece of Lego art. I could not recommend this set more highly.

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.

This set is sooo cool! My 9 year old son and I just finished it this morning. Took us, all together, about 4 hours. We took turns building the ship but he got too frustrated working on the bottle so he had me do it. To be fair, it was a little difficult because if I pressed too hard, it all broke apart. But once that was done, it was smooth sailing from there and he ended up doing most the base by himself. All and all, I loved this set because it was something we built together and now it’s displayed on a bookcase instead of just thrown in the LEGO box in his closet with the rest of his other sets. I really enjoyed this Ideas collection and look forward to future releases

This is a beautiful Lego set. Worth to buy. It’s not super large but big enough to be a nice for display in the office. Was a fun set to build as well.

I love this set! I knew, the moment I saw it, that I had to have it! Assembly was fairly easy with no issues to report. The base/bottom of the bottle took the longest to build as it contains many small clear bricks. The ship was easy to assemble and mount into the bottle. The final assembly of the bottle top was easy to complete. The base is ornate and solid. A big plus for the compass and globes on the base! I don't consider myself and "expert" LEGO builder but I did not have any problems with the final bottle assembly that others have mentioned. It is also fairly sturdy and doesn't fall apart for me when handling. This is a display piece so once it is assembled you shouldn't play with it anyway. Don't pass up this amazing set! Enjoy!

The concept for this set is great. The boat and stand are both well designed, and other than the sails and masts being a bit touchy, they build well. The bottle, however, is VERY fragile, as the curved sections don't fit well onto the bottom: the each end of a curve should snap down to a stud, but the studs to anchor them are barely above flush with the surrounding plastic, if at all. This means that you're left with large sections of the bottle unattached while you try to work with them; while they eventually attach at the top, this is only through a single anchoring point, making the whole thing quite shaky as you assemble it. Given that there's a decent amount of twisting and pressure while snapping other parts into place (especially the ship), the whole thing is continually threatening to pop apart at several seams. This gets better as more of the bottle is put in place, but it's a problem at early stages of assembly, especially when you're trying to get the ship secured to the row of studs that hold it. So, while this is a great set overall, it can be a very fiddly build. I found that some spots require virtually perfect alignment to work: the row of four studs that hold the ship (I had to reassemble this to make sure the stud spacing was right--it was very unforgiving), the sections of bottle above the masts (the masts are a hair's breadth shorter than the bottle sides, so they too need to be perfectly placed and aligned), the bottle sides (I started shoring them up with additional pieces snapped on while I was building), etc. In some ways, that's a decently authentic experience of the care, patience, and meticulous attention to detail needed to build a ship in a bottle; in others, it's a bit of unnecessary frustration due to some design issues. Despite all of that, it's a fun set and a great display item once completed.

Este es uno de los mejores Legos que uno puede tener en la biblioteca, me encanto!

Perfect

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
