LEGO Ideas 21317 Disney Steamboat Willie Building Kit (751 Pieces)

Box came damaged

Best Christmas gift

Gave this to my grandson for Christmas. He was so happy

HUGE note!!! FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! Ours came out perfect but got messages that parts didn’t work as they should because something must not have been put together properly. Assembly error only and NOT easy to back up to missed step.

First let me say, Im a huge Lego and Disney fan so the idea of melding Lego with the absolutely iconic imagery of Steamboat Willie was just a fantastic idea in my humble opinion. So howd it turn out? * The build. A couple hours split into 3 sections - bag sets 1, 2, 3. Generally pretty good though this is why I dropped a star. The boat itself is very fragile and the build is a lot more delicate than many of the Expert builds Ive done. Whole sections will split off if youre not careful in properly supporting when adding bricks. Additionally, if youre not careful in maintaining proper clearances, the smokestacks will bind and no longer move up and down - though this is not uncommon for many build with mechanical moving pieces. * Colors. Yes, the exterior is mostly white with black and grey accents and it looks great when built. What I love about Lego is how they try to really keep it interesting even when the final color palate is quite simple. In this case the interior pieces are a rainbow of the original Lego primary colors with lots of reds, blues, yellows and greens. Really fun. * Model Design. Very nice and faithful as can be to the original iconic design. The moving smokestacks and spinning paddle wheels are just really neat and while a monochromatic Lego set may seem boring this just looks great. * Minifigures. Mickey and Minnie Mouse. 1928 Mickey is great but simple, the real standout for me is the 1928 Minnie Mouse - she is simply superb with her guitar and skirt in my opinion. Really wish it came with a Pete though, that would have just put the whole thing over the top. Maybe a goat as well. * Design booklet with notes about the designers and model is always a nice inclusion in these Lego Ideas sets. Box looks great as well and is very sturdy and reusable is desired. All in all a very nice set of an iconic source though I really do wish the boat itself was more durable. I suppose it isnt a huge deal as this is meant as more of a collectors piece and less as a toy but still. Even with that small gripe this is still a highly recommended set.

Its cute. I love it.
