LEGO DREAMZzz Nightmare Shark Ship 71469, Construct the Building Toy Set as a Flying Pirate Ship or a Monster Truck, Includes 4 Minifigures, Shark Toy, Gift for Tweens and Kids Ages 10 and Up

This ship looks mighty good now it's finahed.But at times I thought it would never reach that point .As there are some parts of this built that are frustrating and easily apart .Adding some stronger supports or having some parts now clinging on by one nob of the brick would make it fell more stable . The instructions are bright cheeerfuul and add to the feel of building the story and become involved the build too. The colours stand out well and actual sharks body with its Skelton type features is really cool .it fits in wellwith the haunted spookiness theme. There are a few features that make the build more interactive .The reel in drop anchor and open and shut shark jaws and the moving engine parts .on the shark build mode also the swing out cage and the varied mini figures and accessories . The tank mode use s wheels on the shark base and there are turret disc firing swivel guns . There is the option to use the Bright story lead building instruction booklet or the app .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic set with so many hidden areas to stimulate play, including hidden treasure chest which is released by pressing a lock. The shark ship was great fun to build and I love the way that once you have built the main shark carcass, you can then choose to build two different styles (sailing ship or off road truck ship). We built the sailing ship first and it was really easy to take back to the shark carcass to then build the off road truck. I particularly liked the ease of this, and the fact that you didn't have to take too much apart. Building the main ship took quite a lot of time as there were a lot of bits that were built to strengthen the ship and set up for the 2 ways of building, which is an excellent idea and much better than other sets that you have to start from scratch with to build. I love the vibrant colours which mean that it is a toy that both girls and boys can relate to. There were 7 mini figures in the set (if you count the monsters and Z-Blob) and following the arrival of this LEGO set, my son has really enjoyed the TV series. Instruction manual was great, even highlighting which shades of pink bricks to use and not use, which I thought was brilliant.
