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

We love legos in our house - we have many sets on display (mostly Star Wars). My sons room is nautical themed and this set is going to go perfectly in there. The end result is really adorable and there arent many sets that are black and white like this. We also love Disney and so this was really perfect for us. The build itself was quite fun. It was neat seeing the ship come together with the smoke stacks working at the end. I cringed when I saw the instructions for the paddles (lots of repetition) but it went faster than I thought. In the inside of the boat, the legos are actually a variety of colors, but then this all gets topped with the black & white. The little details that come together at the end like the potato bin and the pots and pans are really cute. My son has fun pushing the boat along and watching the paddles & smoke stacks move. Its fairly delicate so he occasionally breaks a piece off (especially the adjustable crane) but weve been able to get it back together no problem. Overall we all really love it because it was fun to build, is fun to play with, and looks really great on display.

This is a delightful black & white set, to honor a pioneering animation film. I enjoyed putting it together - and also seeing how the mechanical stuff is set up.

Besides the fact that this exact cartoon and story and animation from 1923 is remembered with so many happy and joyous childhood memories, this lego build is outstanding to do as it actually is a moving steam engine.I am so excited to do this and see the clear color work of the engine which I would never have believed becomes real as you move thru the directions and see the engine unfold as you build.I highly recommend this for those who are young at heart and need a burst of joy to permeate your life as it has mine. By the end of this process, many pieces connecting to the wheel house were not there and it wa possible to manage to complete it but not as it was done in the instructions which was disappointing.

Great gift for LEGO & Disney lover

So I have a nephew who LOVES legos. When he first saw this in a catalogue, he was so excited and wanted it so badly. Let me tell you, its expensive. But the joy he had receiving it was totally worth it. Packaging had some dents in it, but they were small and that was just the box. No complaints here!

I bought this set in the Lego store at Disney Springs in Walt disney World. This was an excellent build that took me around 3 hours. Instructions were clear and easy. This was not a terribly challenging build but it was a true joy to bring this Steamboat Willie to life and the smoke stacks move up and down just like in the cartoon. If you are a Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse fan and enjoys Legos then this is a must buy.

$145 is a lot for the final product

I thought it would be bigger for the price. Wish it could have had more extra pieces in case you loose some. This is for my son and he lost a piece right away and that messed us up. Other than that it’s really cute and my son loved it.

This Steamboat Willie Lego made the perfect Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He absolutely loved it. It was quite difficult to build but he enjoyed it and it is super cool because the inside of the ship is actually colored Legos and the outside is the black and white.

As expected from LEGO, was a good product. As most legos it was overpriced but the wife likes Disney and my boys like legos so was a good gift for the wife to do as a project with the kids.
