Frustrating as difficult to continue without this functioning so just awaiting a replacement.

This set definitely would’ve been much enhanced with minifigures like another “historical tourist transportation” set – The Oriental Express. I know they made a big deal in presentation about how it is not minifigures scale, but come on, the amazing mechanisms are begging for minifigures to make them great play features!

Maybe N/A on the minifigures and take that rating out of the total altogether… Absolutely agree that a rating of 4 out of 5 for non-existing minifigures is a bizarre choice!

I spent some time in my 20’s on the river where these boats travel. and man. this one looks great.

Kinda unfair though cause it would botch any and all non-miniature sets, such as the bugs or the king fisher, meaning that they would have an unfairly low score

Like you this doesn’t resonate with me here in Australia as it would if I happened to live in the USA (similarly with the Bricklink Designer Program Series 4 Wild West Train). Most paddle wheelers in Australia are side-wheel driven and generally smaller.

Whilst I cannot afford to buy it now (Shire arriving today!), this review only validates my decision to add it to my wish list. Coincidentally I have a granddaughter of the same name so I’ll have to buy 2 as she is a keen Lego builder as well.

I´d rate it 1 out of 5.

I’ll pass on this one- not really my style and quite expensive. I’ll be saving every corn for the rumored UCS Death Star!
