Alpinemaps Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yes! I really like LEGO ships. I really like this set. This and Voltron are the two Ideas sets I’m really looking forward to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I have never been a day 1 buyer. I also have 5 large lego sets that I still need to build the palace cinema as it's 2/3 done after a year of building. This is a day 1 buy from me. Edited December 27, 2017 by Armor .

Cheese Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Not convinced myself from photos. Bottle should be a cylinder. Also the sea looks like just pouring a pile of 1x1’s. Ship is so so. Probably too critical on my part given the size of the ship. However seems Lego again being a bit lazy if you ask me. Stand looks great. Will no doubt be hoarded to death. Ideas sets seem to be going the way of Star Wars and Modulars now I’m afraid in terms of investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickvoyeur Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think the set looks great... the price point will be interesting. If they market it correctly $39.99 seems like a fair price to me. I'm counting 12 studs wide and deep, and 30ish studs from end to end of the bottle. But once they inflate the part count with all the 1x1 studs for the water I'd be surprised if this is less than $59.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last (relatively) exclusive Ideas set was Maze. Not here in The Netherlands. Ideas is still a theme that's only sold by the LEGO website, and a few small 3rd party owned Lego-focused stores, which sell them for the same price as LEGO does or maybe even priced higher!

I think I like the look of this bottle better. It seems more cylindrical to me than the original design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 LEGO's design has a very traditional feel. I like it. Also being able to acquire a nice assortment of those transparent dome parts is quite good for many builds. About the studs as water, that is a technique used by many MOCers for I don't know how long. I honestly do not see any other way one could simulate flowing water with LEGO in something so encased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The stand and bottle are very well done, the ship is so-so but agree that the bottle design gave them less space to work with. It's a good compromise. I haven't bought an Ideas set since Ecto 1 as far as collection is concerned. I will buy this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat in the final release looks like a polybag set. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more cylindrical to me than the original design. If you examine the original, it is larger - bottle is wider and longer and of course the ship itself is longer and taller. LEGO also turned the bottle flat instead of at an angle so you lose height to the ship. It looks like LEGO removed a clear cylinder quarter 4x4x6 piece from the length (only 2 vs the proposed 3). And it looks like the width lost a little too; can't tell if it lost a 4x4 or a 2x2 in the width. The stand looks like it is only 10 bricks long (between uprights) vs the proposed 16 bricks. That means the ship itself is around 2/3 the proposed length. However, turning the bottle on its side, I wonder just how much height was lost. The original looks awesome, this one looks like a barge. I think the biggest disappointment to me is loosing the rigging. That added detail truly made this look like a real ship in a bottle. I guess we'll have to wait for the actual release but I fear this was an awesome idea that LEGO just neutered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego rules Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Bottle looks fantastic. Ship not so much. The original ship was so much better. If the ship had looked like the original, I would have bought it for sure. Now......maybe for 50% off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) The ship is a POS. Looks like something you would get in a Xmas 24 in 1 or a polybag. Look forward to seeing what Lego tax is applied to us too considering they raised S5 10 euros today already. I guess 85 euros should do it. Actually no lego tax, which is nice. 70 euros. I put this set in the Maze category -low demand can be equalled by short production life. Edited January 10, 2018 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToes16 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If I didn't know what the original ship looked like, I would say this set is pretty great. Not really awesome as the ship still looks very medium level builder status. It's ok looking but I think there could have been an attempt as making the details less "Lego" and more natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John82 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Looking at the price I would say Lego doesn't want many sales. Shame as i wanted this, would look great after several modifications to the ship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
