LEGO Ideas 92177 rebuilds the sailor's ship in a bottle in 962 pieces. The ship has a captain's quarters, cannons, masts, a crow's nest and printed sails, and it sits inside a brick-built bottle closed with a cork and a wax seal element, over water-style pieces. The display stand carries the 'Leviathan' nameplate, a non-functioning compass with a spinning needle and globe elements. On its stand the bottle is over 12 inches wide. Rated 4.8 across more than 16,000 reviews and listed around $200, it is a premium display set for an adult builder or anyone who loves the sea.
