River Steamboat Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“At 4,090-pieces, it also becomes the biggest LEGO Ideas set by piece count (eclipsing 21330 Home Alone), and it’s not only a gorgeous model, but has plenty of incredible functions built into it! There’s also so much going on the inside that fans of mechanical LEGO sets will... More surely appreciate the engineering that has gone into this set.”
