LEGO 10210 Imperial Flagship

This set isn't really for the younger kids, it's not necessarily a complex build but, it has a few fiddly bits- once it's built though it's great fun! Just be careful! (It's great for a challenge)

I bought this item as it was the cheapest price I could find online. The delivery was super quick and I am in the process of building it now. Look online for a detailed review. This is the best lego pirate ship ever and if kept in good condition will be worth a fortune one day.

Totally ridiculous price tag

With children approaching their teens, lLego has become an extremely popular activity in our home. Whether it is Harry Potter the excellent City series, or more adventurous models like this one, all of the latest models exude a quality and charm that makes this an ultimate toy and unparalleled play experience. Best of all, it is something that parents can enjoy doing with their children.In case it's been a while since you last played with Lego, it has come a long way in the last decade. It is still an extraordinarily clever building system that can be used to construct a multitude of different structures, vehicles and other objects, but it has evolved into a number of kits the construction of which results in stunning models. They take time and effort to complete now. And when you're finished the sense of achievement is extraordinary. So much so that you'll be very reluctant to de-construct the resulting models. If you do, you'll be able to re-assemble them as many times as you need. The design and fit of individual components is superb.This amazing ship is one of the very best examples of Lego construction kits. It has a number of custom parts as well as the usual range of bricks. Obviously, the pieces don't need to be glued together, but the process of construction is complex. It will take days rather than hours to complete. I strongly suggest you create a special area for building it - well away from small children and kitchen tables that need to be cleared for lunch and tea!As the ship takes shape, you will marvel at the many details it includes, from the Captain's cabin, the cannons, the figure head and the rigging. The way in which the model has been engineered is a marvel to behold. The assembly instructions are equally well thought- out. During construction, you may think that a particular piece is missing, but in all my many years of buying Lego no unopened box has ever been lacking in a single component. Just check the plans and you'll see what is needed.You do need to be fairly systematic when you start building it otherwise the many pieces may confuse you. Best only to assemble it bag by numbered bag according to the instructions, but also to divide each bag into colour-coded parts before you start. A couple of times my daughter thought Lego had got it wrong. They had not. We were mistaken. Interpreting the instructions correctly and overcoming various problems you encounter is all part of the 'fun'. When we first started the massive number of pieces made the project seem daunting. When we finish, we felt hugely proud to have built such a work of art. The completed model is a thing of great beauty. (Just don't see if it floats in the bath!)Congratulations to Lego for producing a simply amazing product. It was expensive, but worth every penny. More like this please.

Totally unreasonable.
