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

Great price

I bought this for my 11 year old grandson. He loves it and it’s a showcase for sure!

One of our favorite sets

Missing pieces! Put this together last night... or tried, but was missing a handful of critical specific pieces. Makes it a waste of my $90! Can’t return, window closed last night! Be aware.

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 dont 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 youre 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 theres 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 its a problem at early stages of assembly, especially when youre 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 hairs 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, thats a decently authentic experience of the care, patience, and meticulous attention to detail needed to build a ship in a bottle; in others, its a bit of unnecessary frustration due to some design issues. Despite all of that, its a fun set and a great display item once completed.

Great project for my 14 year old

Absolutely adorable and a neat shelf piece.

My 30 year old child loves it.

I was getting this as a gift for my son & it Was not what i expected, i opened it and it had been used and some parts were put back in plastic zip lock bags, no packing slip included, definitely sad & it was not something i could give as a gift.

A great LEGO set! The bottle was a little tedious, but wasnt too bad! A beautiful set.
