LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle 21313

I really enjoyed putting this set together. When I saw the bag of transparent pieces I thought “OMG” that's going to be difficult to do” but I was ok. I enjoyed the challenge of putting the bottle together especially the bottom of the bottle. And the size of it! I knew the measurements but I was shocked how big it was when finished. Highly recommended build

I love this product. I would like to thank the creator Jack Sadovich for coming up with this concept. When I first saw it I knew what I wanted to do with it. As you can see from the picture yo will notice I've made it personal to me. My grandma and aunt were killed back in the summer of 2016 and them my grandpa passed away this past October. I thought this kit was a great way to have something to remember them by in a unique way. I hope Mr. Sadovich doesn't mind me making it personal to me.

This was a fun build, but pretty tedious with tons of tiny (and clear!) pieces. It was more challenging to build than I thought it would be, but I mean that as a POSITIVE! I like the fact that it took me longer to build that I originally thought. I It looks awesome displayed close to my "Old Fishing Store". Just in caser you buy this (I highly recommend it!), let me mention this. It may save you from a little stress! **When I got to the part where I was inserting the ship into the partially built bottle, I was concerned that the ship masts were too tall and the bottle pieces wouldn't fit over it. But it was done this way on purpose to securely hold the ship inside the bottle. The bottle pieces that fit above the masts are a little different and WILL fit and will help keep the ship snug!

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 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.

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 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.

This is a great example of what the Ideas program can offer. I qas hoping the finaldeaign qould be closer to the original submission. But it's still a nice interpretation. It looks very impressive as a finoshed piece. But the ship itself lacks detail and could use more help.

If I could give this 3.5 stars I would. The build is simple and quick - too quick but that's because the piece count, while accurate, isn't reflective of the BUILD PIECE count since all the water pieces (well over 200) just get dumped into the bottle. So there is that and there is also the poor packaging of the clear parts that make up the bottle. Sadly all of mine have scratches which really take away from the already obscured view of the ship (the seams going straight up the middle are a head scratching choice). I am still glad that I got this as it's so unique and interesting and like no other LEGO set and bonus for no stickers! In closing, this is a great display piece and worth the purchase if you know up front the downsides. I would buy it again, but would have been more satisfied with my purchase had I known about the water pieces. Perhaps LEGO should consider a total piece count and a BUILD piece count on the box for sets like this.

Three pieces broke before finishing bag 1 so I'm now waiting on replacement parts. Wondering how many more will break and how long it will actually take to finish building. I've done dozens and dozens of sets over many years and I have never had this issue.
