What reviewers are saying

"It is priced at £24.99 or $29.99 and contains 312-pieces according to the LEGO inventory, so considering the potential production cost of that sail, this seems like very good value to me."

Brickset Reviews

"Even just the sail of this ship is really beautiful to me. It's just got a a really nice aesthetic, you know, a nice design, nice color choices there."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

41063 Ariel's Undersea Palace — 41073 offers better value; the clam shell component appears in both sets but 41063 is far more expensive

79008 Pirate Ship Ambush — Similar sail attachment method using Technic beams for ribbing reaching three corners; same compromise with unsightly rear view
