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

I bought this LEGO set for my 23 year old boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. We built it within a couple of nights, taking turns to put pieces on and it was a great experience. The set doubles as a fun activity and an awesome center piece in an office, study, or anywhere else it can fit. The instructions are clear, the LEGO pieces themselves were durable and sturdy; there were no issues while building at all. The price is kind of high, but I think that’s just a “you pay for the name” type deal. Either way, it’s worth it for the look on his face when opening the gift and the smile that came with it. I’d recommend this LEGO set to anyone 13 and up; and for someone who loves quirky and unique decorations, because it’s definitely not a toy.

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.

First - this is not an item for kids to play with; it's a display set meant to look really boss sitting on a living room mantle or bookcase. This is a set for adults to enjoy putting together, and it makes a great gift. My parents love all things nautical, and they also enjoy Lego. I surprised them with this ship-in-a-bottle, and the absolutely loved it. They enjoyed the little bit of challange this adult set offered, and looks amazing put together. This will make the perfect gift for most adults who will enjoy a little whimsy next to their brass sextant and working barometer

My husband and I bought this during quarantine to do during a "date night". We put the ship together in phases, spending an hour per session in order to make it last longer. Total time to assemble was around 4 hours, but we took our time and had fun with each of the pages. It was easy to put together, and the finished product is awesome. We have it on display, and I would recommend this set to anyone. Makes a nice display piece and is fun to put together!

This is part of the LEGO Ideas line - user submitted builds that Lego will consider selling if enough people vote for it. If you haven't participated, check out the pending LEGO Ideas on their website and vote! I was very happy to see this one recently make it to the marketplace and had to get it. It is really an unusual set, and looks great on display. The ship itself is rather small for a set of this price, but of course the real point is the look with the stand and bottle - which is every bit as awesome as you would expect. My pre-teen and teen Lego fans in our family all give this one high marks! Next on my list is another LEGO Ideas set I voted for - Tron Legacy Light Cycles - when amazon has it back in stock.

So I thought this would be an awesome gift, and well it was, but I had the great idea to actually fill it! You know like what was originally in the bottle... I mean I know it's a LEGO bottle but I wanted it to be an awesome gift. Well the ship you build isn't watertight and won't exactly float. Also the bottle isn't water tight either so I drank and spilled a lot of whisky trying to fill this thing in. I finally got it filled enough and carefully brought to my friend's x-mas party. We poured out shots for everyone and that's when it all went belly up. I've been finding LEGO pieces... yea exactly where you'd think. The ship was awesome, the idea is great just don't fill it!!!

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.

Fun build

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.
