The Lego City Seaside Harbor with Cargo Ship has multiple parts that will provide hours of building and play fun. First is a realistic modern cargo ship with an interior hold, deck and pilothouse. The ship has an orange and dark green hull and white topside.
Dock the ship at the functioning red ship-to-shore gantry crane to load and unload two open-sided cargo boxes. Fill the cargo boxes with the included brick-built lime green jet ski and blue paddle boat.
Down the wharf the stop for a fresh crab and a sweet treat at the two-story seafood restaurant. When you’re done, try a little fishing off the pier, go paddleboarding, or just sit on the beach and enjoy the sun.
The front of the box shows the set on a background of realistic water and a larger dock. The cargo ship holds one of the containers with the jet ski in it. One minifigure is in the pilothouse, and the other is on the cargo box. The crane is holding the second container with the paddle boat in it. At the base there is a minifigure holding a walkie-talkie, giving instructions. On the wharf is a little girl who just caught a crab in her net. At the restaurant a lady is walking down the stairs holding an ice cream cone, and a man is on the pier fishing. Next to the pier is a beach where a boy is eating ice cream, while watching a man paddleboard on the water.
The back of the box has a similar image to the front, but with the minifigures engaged in different activities. There are also inset photos of:
1. The girl is using the outdoor shower at the restaurant while a man is getting the paddleboard and paddle from inside.
2. The fisherman and a dock worker are sitting at a table on the 2nd floor of the restaurant with a bottle on the table between them.
3. An image of the crane with arrows indicating how the mechanism can be used to raise and lower the boxes, and move the boxes laterally.
4. An image showing how the pilothouse can be removed to get access to additional space beneath, and that the top of the pilothouse is hinged for additional access.
The set has 1,226 pieces and is recommended for ages 8 and up.
