"A BrickScore of 65 puts this set in Mixed Reviews territory, driven primarily by value concerns and uneven alternate builds, but the 4.79-star owner average across 592 ratings makes clear that buyers who come for the Viking ship itself are rarely disappointed."
The Viking Ship and the Midgard Serpent earns a BrickScore of 65 (Mixed Reviews), reflecting a genuine split between expert assessment and the enthusiasm of buyers. Owner ratings tell a strongly positive story: 592 ratings averaging 4.79 out of 5 across Amazon and LEGO.com, with 93% saying they would recommend it. The tension sits in value-for-money and design authenticity, where the expert consensus score of 51.2 on value and owners' modest 3.88 out of 5 on that same metric both signal that the $119.99 price tag is the set's weakest point.
Where they split: The low agreement rating reflects a real split: owner enthusiasm (4.79/5, 93% recommend) is considerably warmer than the expert BrickScore of 65 suggests. The gap is largely explained by buyers who rate the experience and the ship alone very highly, while critical analysis weighs the alternate builds, pricing, and design accuracy more heavily. Both camps agree the ship is excellent; disagreement centers on whether the full package justifies the $119.99 price.

Owners praise the Viking Ship as a large, detailed, and enjoyable build with solid construction, but frustration over pricing and occasional missing parts mars an otherwise very positive reception.
