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 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.

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. However, I think the designer has done a pretty decent job of capturing the essence of the beast, and its size is clearly evident next to the minifigures (only one shield is provided for the four of them, this time!)

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. For space enthusiasts, there's even a captivating model of the iconic Space Shuttle Discovery. As befitting a quartet of Viking warriors aboard a longship, they're each equipped with vicious-looking weapons; a single- and double-headed axe, a spear, and a sword. 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. 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! Like most larger Creator 3-in-1’s, it’s the main model that draws you in. For many, there is no desire to complete the other models. You could probably stop at the longboat and be very happy. That said, it’s always nice to have more options and the ability to gain experience from building the alternates. Certainly, from a kiddo’s perspective, there are hours of play to be had from any 3-in-1, especially a larger one like this.

Fenris

Especially smaller Castle set could work as castle expansion kit with the alternate builds, 2 figures in a medium set is reasonable to ask.

LEGO have reintroduced a horned helmet, of which you get two in the set, and I think it looks fantastic. Our ginger-bearded warrior is also wearing a new highly-detailed torso print; another breastplate, this time of a woven material, over a green tunic. His orange trousers are nicely colour-matched with his beard! The whole roof detaches to provide access to the ground floor, although I've also removed most of the walls below to show you the inside. An armchair sits with a mug in front of a fire on a decorative floor. At the stern of the ship is a covered dining area, with enough room to seat the whole crew (at least, the four provided with the model!). There's also a burning fire above which hang a pair of fish.

Nélkülük nem működne a weboldalunk, például nem tudna bejelentkezni saját fiókjába, vagy bevásárlói listákat létrehozni. 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. 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. Now, if they do more sets to match in the future, similar to how they've made the matching Space sets in 31107 , 31115 , and 31117 , I'd be definitely happy for LEGO to continue these classic themes under the Creator banner."

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 way the Vikings stored their shields on the sides of their ships while travelling is an iconic image, and the set doesn't disappoint. There are four shields attached to either side, each with a different pattern, presumably unique to the Viking that wields it. They can easily be detached and held in the hand of one of the minifigures, although there are twice as many shields as figures included. There are three instruction booklets included; two smaller ones for each of the alternative models, and a large one for the main build. I was surprised by the choice of colour on the booklet; the use of the pale tan looks quite insipid and far less enticing than the box artwork. One thing obviously missing from this longboat are the oars, making a getaway from the serpent far less likely to happen. Another thing missing is all the printed elements, but if you didn’t know, you wouldn’t miss them. 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.A sütik feldolgozásának elfogadásával nélkülözhetetlen és analitikai sütik kerülnek telepítésre eszközére, amelyeket a weboldal megtekintéséhez használ (az "Értem" gombra kattintva mindkét kategóriát elfogadja, vagy kiválaszthhatja a kategóriák közül csak az egyiket a "Beállítások" gombra kattintva). A technikai sütiket mindig telepítjük az eszközére, az Ön beleegyezése nélkül is, mert ezek nélkül a weboldalunk nem működne.

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.Analitikai sütik Ezek az Ön tevékenységeinek nyomon követésére szolgálnak adatelemzés céljából, mint például a reklámozás hatékonyságának értékelése, személyre szabott tartalom felajánlása./span> Finally, Fenris himself is constructed, making liberal use of the various joints from the serpent combined with parts of the hull. His tail, head, and all four legs can be individually posed, as well as his jaw. The final instruction booklet contains directions for the third model, a small tree and a large wolf; presumably Fenris (or Fenrir) of Norse mythology. It's the smallest of the three builds.
