Adult Pirate Ship Building Kit, Queen Anne's Revenge Pirate Ship Mini Building Block Sets for Adults, Construction Toys Gift for Teens & Men, Not Compatible with Lego Pirate Ship, 3399 PCS

PIECES are MINI BRICKS, as in smaller and therefore NOT COMPATIBLE with the standard size bricks which Lego uses. The product title is incorrect when it claims compatibility with Lego and the "Frequently Asked" section is correct when it claims NOT compatible with Lego.You see some of these people reviewing this claiming its compatible with Lego? Well I don't know what they're even looking at - did they even open the box when they wrote their review? This is a Zhe Gao product and they always put a red "mini" icon in their carton artwork whenever the kit uses mini bricks, and there it is right there in the bottom right corner "mini". So just to be clear this is a MINI brick set.INSTRUCTIONS are split into two large staple bound booklets, a bit longer in length than standard printer paper. Now what I was looking for when I got into this was how clear the printing was going to be because black pieces need to either be printed with top notch clarity, or greyed out, or edged in white which is just messy. This manual is printed quite clearly and you should have no problem dealing with all these black pieces stacking up. It also uses edge highlighting of the active step pieces to further aid you. Being as this is a very large model I was also looking for 1:1 scale or close enough, as well as a very spaced layout and both these criteria were met. TLDR; the manual is good quality and the steps should flow easily for any builder capable of a high piece count set.BAGS are numbered and instructions have notations as for when to open what.CARTON is retail style, fully illustrated, sturdy and ready to wrap.DESIGN well this isn't my first ship or first large ship. I've done MK's 3700 piece Dutchman and this is about the same in piece count. But what I'd never done before is a ship with an interior cutout. I thought that was so cool, leaving one side exposed. I've built ships where I piece in beautiful detailing below deck but then its covered up and never seen again. This one puts the interior on display or you can flip it around and you've got your complete hull. So cheers for this design.MINOR CRITICISM for creases in the fabric sails. Argggg, this is something so many mfgs do, even the good ones like Zhe Gao, and unfortunately it happened here. Had a minor crease throughout each sail due to how it was placed in the carton. Thankfully it is correctable by ironing but on the absolutely lowest heat and even then let it cool down further before trying. Minor annoyance, not going to take a star off, but beware it could happen to you.SUGGESTION Ship building is probably the only time I get out the brick hammer (small hobby hammer meant to ensure bricks are fully seated). And I do this because the stronger you lay that keel the more forgiving all the topside work will be later on particularly when dealing with breakage resulting from rigging mast and sail. Not that its absolutely necessary. but it helps.

It was very fun to put together (unless your impatient lol) and it took a combined total of about 40 hours for 2 people to complete it. It has some pieces that you can't even look at wrong or they will fall apart. It's not for young kids but older kids would have a blast with this. The quality is lacking honestly, it's just not 100% right. If you build it you'll know what I mean as it's hard to explain. The instructions seemed to be off on a few pages and very hard to figure out but overall it was manageable. The pieces do fit well but some pieces will fall apart just looking at it, then you have to spend another 35 to 45 mins just trying to fix it. We literally super glued some pieces that were like that as we were tired of fixing them. Overall it was fun, at times aggravating but we made it through it.

Everything about this set is amazing. The box is super thick and sturdy (and shrink-wrapped for extra protection). The design and printing on the box make it look like a professional set from big-L, too. Inside everything is well-organized, the instructions and very nicely printed and the pieces fit together exactly like you'd expect. Plus the overall design and details are crazy good - someone put a lot of time in on making this! If not for the lack of the 4-letter brand name on the pieces, it would be VERY hard to tell that this isn't a big-L set.

My set is missing pieces. I can't complete this building set. I'm not happy with this.The light stopped working. The pieces are mini pieces that are NOT compatible with Lego brand bricks. Very disappointing experience.

As a father of die-hard Lego fans (and as someone who fully enjoyed Legos as a kid), I cringe when I see how much it would cost to purchase all the amazing Lego products out there. And so it was tempting to try this imitation Lego product.It's a fine pirate ship and will provide you with a few hours' fun putting it together. We've had less success integrating many of these pieces with Lego pieces . . . it just doesn't seem to work.The pirate ship is stylish and made for a villain - blood red is the theme. No little figurines are included, so bring your own pirates.

This set is huge!!! Over 3000 pieces!! Anyways, I have not completed it yet. This set is going to take me a while. I really enjoy what I have done so far. I highly recommend you take the time to sort the pieces for this one. The instructions have been easy enough so far. As of this moment I have zero complaints about this product. I'm only about a quarter of the way done and will update this review with some photos if I remember. As of this second, I would recommend this build if your into pirate ships. Seriously, who doesn't want to own Blackbeard's Ship!! Happy Building!

The main thing I'm disappointed with is that this is mini bricks and not standard (Lego) sized. The listing is very misleading.I've built a LOT of sets and this one is ok. Not great, but not horrible. The instructions are easy to follow and it has some nice building techniques.

This is a huge set, so it's not a trivial undertaking. It's also compatible with Lego, which means I may be doing some modifications along the way. But for now, I've taken inventory of the pieces, which took quite a while. Fortunately they're all present, plus a handful of extras. And I've fitted up some pieces from a few different sections, and they fit really nicely. Ultimately, this is probably going to be a prize at a pirate-themed Halloween activity I'm doing in about a month. Hopefully I can get it all assembled and do a few cool mods by then. Overall, this is a very worthwhile pickup for anyone who loves either brick sets or pirates.
