Challenging build but worth the effort
This set is awesome. The overall product is great, how it expands is brilliant. Mr 8 enjoyed building it, but it took a few weeks, 6 hours in total, with a little adult assistance. He loved the theme and couldn't wait to get Mario on it to work. This set is suitable for 8 yrs or older but younger builders may need help. We loved that you could build via the app and could see the blocks in 3D form and rotate them to have a good look at it. He really enjoyed the challenge of building something bigger than the usual kids kit. The good thing is its Lego, so it you make a mistake you can go back and fix it.

LEGO Super Mario Airship Expansion Set!!
The lego set took about 15 hours in total to build. A great set to use for a rainy weekend or a few days of the school holidays. Our girl enjoyed it as our boy wasn't interested when he saw there was nothing electronic. On downloading the app and opening the box, expected to find a Mario figure to enable interaction with the game feature combining building the Airship in the virtual world while building it in the real world. Only one reference on the box that Mario did not come with this pack. We live 135kms each way to the closest toy outlet where Mario might be purchased, which made it a less interactive experience than it could have been. Everything refers to scanning Mario, but he's not there. Ghosting images in assembly are difficult to follow. All agreed that age should be altered from 8+ to at least 10+ due to difficulties of understanding without a whole lot of adult assistance. Not a family activity with only one phone for instructions. All in all, it was fun.

Interesting Design
The design was interesting with unusual pieces but easy to follow using the app, which is also handy in future when its destroyed. My son enjoyed building and found it easy although he got bored after awhile and took a few days to complete. He was disappointed that Mario was not included and we were unsure how the barcodes on the pieces are used in the gameplay. I would recommend this set as its fun and different from others. However, I am disappointed how Lego has transformed over the decades. 40 years ago I used a huge Lego set with men, windows, doors, wheels, roofs to build what was in my mind. Nowadays children simply follow instructions blindly without using the creativity and thinking that Lego was originally known for decades ago.

Bowers Lego Pirate ship
My grandson Joshua loved the Lego Super Marion Bowsers Airship 71391. It took us quite a while to build the airship but eventually got it built Joshua enjoyed looking for the different pieces to help his Dad Joshua loved the way the ship opened up showing you the inside. Josuha connected with the Lego set theme very well, we also bought him the lego course starter so that he had Mario to play in the Airship with. I would recommend this particular set to any child the only thing I did not like was that you did not get a book with the instructions you have to look at them online. Joshua will be getting other games sets so that he can interact with the Airship with them. Thank you for the opportunity to try this lego set.

Quality family time spent
We were Lucky enough to receive his Lego to test. My son who is eight absolutely was enjoying every moment. He loves building and creating and Lego in general. The Lego itself was bagged into separate groups and the instructions were easy to follow. My son was extremely proud of himself while building this. It also gave usA really great chance to have some quality family time. His dad helped build the first section with him. And his older sister insisted on helping family affair to complete it. Lots of fun and the end result was fantastic. He played with it straight away he loves interacting and thoroughly enjoyed pretending to be a pirate. I would definitely recommend this set, It was definitely a team effort and one my son enjoyed.

Nana Scores Massive Brownie Points!
I couldn't believe how many pieces were in this LEGO set, it was massive. My grandson is a huge Super Mario fan and was overjoyed when he saw the Bowser's Airship Expansion set, ready for him to open. We had so much fun putting it together! It was lucky that he already had the LEGO Super Mario starter kit, so he could do interactions with his new LEGO set. I'm sure he'll have hours of fun and I'm certain his mum, dad and brother will also be playing as well. I would highly recommend this game for all kids of any age, especially if they already have the starter kit.

My 8 year old loved creating this!
We had a great time creating this awesome Super Mario airship. Once we installed the app it was so easy to follow the instructions. My son built it all by himself over the course of a few rainy days. He worked out that the 3D instructions on the app were able to be rotated and moved to get a better view of it to make it easier to put the parts together if it was a bit hard to see straight on. Would definately recommend this. It was fun to build and the instructions easy to follow.

Legendary LEGO !
When we opened LEGO Super Mario Bowser's Airship Expansion we were amazed at the size of it. There were 13 individual packets of blocks plus the ship pieces. Master 9 was so excited as this is the biggest Lego he's ever had. It comes with an app for construction which is very easy to navigate with both forward & reverse arrows. As good as this app is & it saves a lot of paper, it may be good for customers to still have the option of obtaining an instruction booklet for those who aren't tech-savvy. Master 9 went straight to work on building his Mario ship; his sheer delight seeing it coming together has been fantastic. He really enjoyed seeing each component come to life in his hands & he told me what each part/character was. I'd recommend this LEGO Super Mario Bowser's Airship Expansion to anyone who loves LEGO. I'd say the age 8+ is a good guide but adults will enjoy it just as much. I've never been into Lego but it had my full attention & interest, it's brilliant, well done LEGO !

Grandson absolutely loves it
As soon as it arrived my grandson ripped it open. When he saw what it was, he was jumping up and down so happy! My grandson is autistic and absolutely loves Lego and a challenge (he is 8yrs old). Straight away he was opening the packages and putting it together. Each time I tried to join in and put it together he would tell me I was doing it wrong (mind you I have never done Lego before). It was definitely a great bonding time as he showed me and explained everything in detail on what to do and what went where. It did take us a while to put together (couple of hours each day after school). Being Mario and especially a Bowzer themed ship made him even more excited especially when he did the claw! The only problem I had was as with all Mario Lego, he needed to use my phone for the instructions especially since he is too young and being autistic rather destructive, he doesn't have an expensive tablet to download the app. Just as a suggestion, there could also be written instructions.

A great bonding experience!
I built this set with my 8 year old grandson. He was so excited to hear we were reviewing it and looked in the mail for it every day! He already knew the story behind the set, and had a lot to teach me! The number of pieces (over 1000) was daunting (for me, not him), but we soon got into it and were really chuffed to see it take shape. It's ideal for his age group, with a little adult help, and I'd say we talked more during the building of this set than we have over any other task! We didn't do it all in one sitting, as I only have him after school, but over the course of a week, it was completed, along with 2 very happy builders! I would definitely recommend this set for over 8's, with a little adult input. Great fun!!

Mario Lego
Yes we liked this lego, it is the first time to be using an app as there was no manual instructions. my son enjoyed this, spend the entire weekend building with Dad. I recommend this to any avid Lego builder especially in times on covid where we as parents just prefer to spend more time at home. this is an activity we can give to our kids and lessend their screen time. much much better!!

Difficult to keep together.
My 8yo son likes the fact the Bowser Airship opens out on a lego brick hinge system. My 8yo did NOT enjoy building this set as it was quite difficult to get the Lego to stay together, when building each section. He loves the laser character of the ship. I’d say the age would be better suited to 10+ yo as my 8yo lego whizz, struggled with this too much. My other son aged 12 (autistic) had far more enjoyment from this Bowser Airship.
