About this deal

The construction of the longship itself employs a lot of SNOT techniques to make the bow and stern of the keel, with the usual method of using bright colours internally to keep the build interesting and provide easier orientation of the model until they're eventually covered up. The figurehead at the prow of the boat is a fearsome dragon (believed by the Vikings to protect them against the evil spirits on the hostile land they were sailing to conquer), and mirrored nicely at the stern with a similarly elaborate carving. The teal Serpent looks fantastic, and I love that they’ve also included 4 minifigures, some of the most detailed minifigures we’ve ever seen in a Creator 3-in-1 set. I especially love the Viking Woman’s winged helm. I agree, some smallish to medium Classic/Viking/Pirate set would be welcome, 31111 : Cyber Drone showed that a small set can have a cool figure and build too. Torso isn't unique but the face print was new for 2021, and was only recently re-used in 80036 City of Lanterns The sail doesn't rest on the mast itself at the bottom, but rather on the ropes tethering the mast to the sides of the ship. Attaching the six tethering ropes (two to each side, one to the stern, one to the bow) to the mast was one of the most satisfying parts of the build; they are a perfect tension to hold the mast firmly in place with very little give, and the use of a steering wheel at the top of the mast to attach them to is some nice parts usage.

Especially smaller Castle set could work as castle expansion kit with the alternate builds, 2 figures in a medium set is reasonable to ask. The resulting model is one of a fearsome serpent, head and tail rearing into the air, with an impressive amount of articulation. Every joint in the tail can move, providing a large number of poses. However, I was slightly disappointed to see that the foremost section of the serpents body, from the floor to the base of the head, is fixed in place. The alternative models are quite nice, but it's the main build that really stands out with its attention-grabbing design, multitude of play features, and the general feeling of nostalgia it evokes for the earlier short-lived Vikings line. Nem személyre szabott hirdetések Ezek a sütik lehetővé teszik számunkra, hogy általános termék- és szolgáltatásreklámokat jelenítsünk meg Önnek.The head itself can rotate, move up and down vertically, and the jaw can open and close. The orange eyes, large white fangs, and long red tongue are particularly effective, and I think the colour choice was a good one. The tree is a tall, thin, pine tree, mostly made from the mast of the longship and the roof of the dining area (I am forever in awe of the designer's ability to create three usable—if not downright good—models from one set of parts). There's a small area for a campfire beneath, although it is somewhat of a mismash of colours. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author.

Több információ a jogairól. The pitched roof hinges open, inside which are four other shields attached in the rafters of the building. This part of the build is somewhat busy and a little bit of a mess, however. I think what’s also really exciting about this Creator 3-in-1 set, is that if you have the budget, you can actually buy 2 or 3, and assemble a really neat Viking scene, as the longship, Viking Hall, and Fenrir all look amazingly well together. Finally, let’s take a look at those minifigures! Unlike the original theme, which was almost exclusively comprised of distinctly male characters, this set has some diversity! There are four figs, two men and two women. Let’s meet them, from left to right.LEGO's recent revival of various older themes seems to have mostly been a hit (although I know many of us would like more than just a single set for each) and I think they've kept the quality bar just as high here with the Viking longship.

Vikings are a perennial subject in education (at least here in the UK), with every primary school aged child learning about their iconic ships, and I can see this set having a large amount of appeal to both adults and children alike.

Four minifigures are included, two male and two female. Right off the bat I'm going to try and head off some of the inevitable comments: yes, Viking helmets most likely didn't actually sport horns, but this is a play set designed around the mythical idea of Vikings, rather than factual reality, so I think we can let this one slide! I am also sure there are other factual inaccuracies that I won't point out in this review.

The serpent towers over the longship and its dragon figurehead, although it doesn't reach the heights of the sail. It seems very well sized next to the ship, and I think the whole set together looks fabulous. The range of articulation may seem a lot, but if you want the model to still be able to stand up, you are limited to just a couple of poses. In fact, this is the only other pose I was able to get to stand unaided, which is clearly not very realistic for a large wolf! I quite like the house itself. The curved parts that made up the layered look of the longships bow are put to good use to imitate wattle and daub, and a shield hangs above the entrance on either side. One of the sides of the house is open to the elements where there's a small anvil next to a stream. Embark on a journey of creativity with LEGO® Creator sets. Designed for both children and adults, these sets offer a wealth of creative possibilities. LEGO Creator Expert sets cater to adult fans, taking them on thrilling adventures like exploring the Haunted House or reliving classic moments with the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 model car.

There's also a burning fire above which hang a pair of fish. You can also see clearly in these side photos how the sail hangs from the mast boom and rests gently on the tension ropes.
