Review: LEGO Ideas 40487 Sailboat Adventures gift-with-purchase

With all the new August 2021 LEGO releases , I couldn’t of course miss out on increasing my VIP points warchest as well as nab the really sweet LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventures, a free gift-with-purchase when you spend over US$200 / £200 / AU$279 on LEGO.com

Curious about the LEGO Ideas label? The set was the winner of the  LEGO Ideas Dream Holiday contest , and designed by talented LEGO Instagrammer and Photographer  @yc_solo aka Yan Chevalier.

The LEGO Ideas Sailboat will be available until 29 August 2021 while stocks last, so if you’re on the fence about the set, I hope this review helps you decide!

Name:  Sailboat Adventures Set Number:  40487 Pieces : 330 Price:  N/A (Gift with Purchase from LEGO.com) Exclusive to:  LEGO Brand Retail Stores, LEGO.com Theme:  Promotional, Ideas Release Date:  1 August 2021 Purchase Threshold: US$200 / £200 / AU$279

Firstly, I love the box and instruction manual design. It rejects the bleak all-black Ideas box design we’ve come to expect, and instead boasts a postcard-worthy illustrated background of the Sailboat over open waters, with the sun setting over the horizon.

I also don’t know why – but I really like the aesthetics of these square-ish instruction booklets. Over on the inside is a lovely profile of the competition winner – Yan Chevalier, and the story behind his contest submission and original design.

Yan is an accomplished toy photographer, and you can check out his amazing work over on Instagram @yc_solo .

The set comes with 2 minifigures, which I like to imagine are LEGO personifications of yc_solo and his wife – the hairstyle and good-natured expression absolutely line up.

Under their orange lifejackets are 2 delightfully appropriate nautical outfits. Are you even allowed on a sailboat or yacht if you’re not wearing stripes?

The male Sailor’s torso is new I think as I’ve not come across that particular design before, and I love that he has a navy neckerchief printed on it as well. I certainly hope we see more of this torso in future sets.

Here’s a look at the detailed back printing, which really allows you to appreciate the sailor’s neckerchief! I have to say, safety aside, both these minifigures look way better without their lifejackets.

You get 2 dolphins in the set. If they look familiar, it’s because these sand blue versions are identical to the one from Series 21’s Paddle Surfer .

Both dolphins are attached to a large round plate, and the way they’re posed really create a sense of movement, as they leap out of the water at different heights, with a dramatic splash of water in their wake, thanks to the crystals and transparent elements.

This mini-diorama works really well here.

Here’s a look at the completed Sailboat – which is impressively tall at 26cm high thanks to the large white sails. I’m not a boat person and have never been on a yacht, so this isn’t something I relate to, but I really appreciate just how clean and pleasing the design is.

The colours in particular are pleasing to the eye – with earth-tones like dark tan punctuated by pops of pearl and drum-lacquered gold, followed by the sharp contrasts of the white sails and black beams.

I really like the cabin, which is a little small but remains in-scale with the entire model. It exudes luxury, with the smooth stud-less exterior, and gentle curves as well as the pearl gold portholes.

The cabin’s exterior can be easily removed, revealing a small plank for a bed and comfortable sleeps one.

You can also pose the minifig emerging from the cabin entrance!

The Sailboat is perched on some plates for a sense of stability, and it has transparent cheese slopes to give the impression of waves created as the sailboat cruises along the ocean, and there’s an anchor hanging out the side as well.

If you’d like less of a “sailboat on a water-look”, you could swap the plates out for a more traditional black display stand to make it look more like a model sailboat that you can decorate your desk with.

The boat is named Éloïse, after Yan’s daughter and the detail is brought to life with stickers on both the starboard and port side of the yacht.

The shape of the sailboat’s bow is greatly enhanced by the use of these dark tan shells which give it a realistic shape.

The Sailboat has two rather large forward pulpits (?), which protrude out the front. I found these to be quite clumsy, and kept knocking them out of place when moving the sailboat around.

The sails are seriously big, and really steal most of the sailboat’s thunder thanks to just how much space it takes up. I really enjoyed the fact that these were entirely brick-built, cobbled together by a number of white bricks and slopes to create a very classic sailboat sail shape.

I don’t know if I was unlucky, but I found that there were several white bricks that looked to have discoloured, or oxidised – especially the large slopes on the right. When placed against the other stark white bricks, the discolouration is evident if you stare at it hard enough.

Last but not least – for an extra dash of luxury, I also really liked the generous use of these wood-print tiles scattered across the yacht. They really class it up, and gives it a pleasing organic and natural look.

What I liked:

• One of the best GWPs that LEGO have ever produced
• A unique and engaging build
• Sailboat has great display presence
• Nice selection of minifigures and 2 dolphins

What I didn’t like: 

• Discoloured white bricks
• The forward pulpits and some other parts are a little fiddly
• Purchase threshold is a little high

FINAL THOUGHTS :

LEGO have (pardon the pun), blown this one out of the water, and is a truly fine LEGO Ideas gift-with-purchase set. The fact that LEGO did not have to deviate much from yc_solo’s contest submission, just speaks to how well crafted the Sailboat Adventures set is.

Like the Vintage Car GWP from earlier in the year, this set exudes a certain sense of carefree adventure, and reminds me of when travel was still possible, and we could dream about sailing of into the sunset on a stupidly expensive rental yacht.

There aren’t many particularly glaring flaws with 40487 Sailboat Adventures – there are lots of minor niggles, like discoloured bricks, and fiddly bits, but for a “free set”, it really sets the bar really high on what can be expected from a LEGO gift with purchase.

The purchase threshold was disappointingly high, which does run the risk of pricing out those that don’t have a ton of disposable income, or have nothing on your list that screams “buy now!”, but for 330 pieces, you are getting a really substantial set, that would otherwise retail for US$30-$50 dollars easily – plus it’s free if you were already planning to purchase something. Thankfully, August 2021 had plenty of new releases, so I imagine the calculus not being too challenging here.

This is a superb display piece, sized rightly and with proportions and a sense of size that is more than the sum of its 330-pieces, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of LEGO fans.

If you’re on the fence about the 40487 Sailboat Adventures, I highly recommend taking the plunge, as this is a particularly memorable and special set that will only be available for a short time.

Rating   and score: 4/5  ★★★★✰

Build [4]  – A quick build with lots of interesting techniques, including the sails Real Value [5]  – A value-packed set, especially since it’s essentially “free” Innovation [4]  – A sensational model at this particular scale thanks to the brick-built sails Coolness [4]  – Yachts are reserved for the super-rich, so I’d say this makes the set cool Keepability [5]  – Ideas set. Limited-time GWP. This set is a prime collector’s model.

40487 Sailboat Adventures  will be available as a Gift with Purchase from  LEGO.com , from 1-29 August (while stocks last) when you spend  US$200 / £200 / AU$279 online.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this really quick review of the the LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventures set, and a massive congratulations to Yans Chevalier and his family for this outstanding achievement.

I’ll leave you with my interpretation of a “Sailboat Adventure”.

Review: LEGO Ideas Gift With Purchase “Sailboat Adventures” 40487

Straight from LEGO Ideas’ competition, ‘Build that holiday into THAT holiday!’, comes the newest Gift-with-purchase.

Lego 40487 – lego ideas sailboat adventures.

Qualifying Purchases AUD $279 – CA $265 – EUR €200 – UK £200 – USA $200

Available from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores from 1st August 2021.

The original design made by @yc_solo aka. Yan Chevalier, over on LEGO Ideas. Took out the top prize, and Yan was lucky to have his model turned into the newest GWP promotion.

This little set is an incredibly faithful rendition of yc_solo’s work, which can be seen here . “Sailing Ship Adventure”, but how does it hold up overall? Will it sink, or will it float?

First thing I have to talk about is the box. This thing immediately captivated me with the warm-toned sunset. Its a more relaxed nature. Compared to the stark stoic blues that come with every LEGO City set. There are some seagulls shown flying high in the sky, which alludes back to Yan’s original submission, which came with a seagull.

The back of the box isn’t something we haven’t seen before, but is still nicely laid out to give a clear idea of what to expect in the set. It’s worth noting that the original design did also include a palm tree build on the side. But LEGO has instead forsaken that and instead made a base for the boat to rest on.

For the actual build itself, this thing is gorgeous. Fortunately, it isn’t just the smoke and mirrors of the box that make me like this set. It’s something about the quaint and simplistic style of the boat mixed with small details here and there to keep things fresh. The exterior of the ship also showcases the only sticker of the set.

The ship’s name, Eloise, which the designer says was named after his daughter. As a dad, this warms my heart.

Our boat’s decking focuses on using the burnt orange colouring and adds a few printed 1×4 wood textured tiles to break it up a little bit. There’s something quite captivating about the colour palate being a mix of dark tan, gold, white and burnt orange that just works. It’s also a small odd thing to note, but the build technically uses two different golds. As the top of the canopy uses a shinier gold compared to the rest of the boat. Not sure why.

Our midsection of the build is technically removable, but doesn’t offer our figures a nice cosy place to rest for the evening. Normally in these types of boats, there would be a small crawlspace for occupants to recess to, but not this time.

Our outer edges of the boat are adorned in gold detailing from a gold flex tube that extends the entire length of the boat. With gold bar detailing, before joining at the bow. It’s a nice detail that wasn’t compromised from the original design. And yes, the anchor does also detach as to park the boat.

As for the sail itself, this thing is entirely brick-built and has a bit of weight to it, but not enough to throw the boat overboard. When the boat is removed from its stand, turning the sails from one side to the other is sure to knock it over. But if kept upright and straight, the boat still stands.

I am very happy with this brick-built option, as plate-built sails are often “visually noisy” with the number of studs. And fabric sails introduce a sense of collectability/dependability on them. Meaning that you can’t just replicate a set like this with parts from home if you wanted to make another one.

Oh, and there are dolphins here too! They use a very basic structure and water splash effect. But it is exactly what the original designer had when he submitted to LEGO Ideas. It captures the momentum perfectly. And who doesn’t like dolphins?

Minifigures

The figures that come with the set do sport some relatively rarer torso for generic figures, but I ultimately can see that they are based on the original designer and his wife. Their “adventure they are yet to have”. They’re the perfect little addition to what is otherwise a cute little set.

Overall thoughts? This thing is quite exquisite. I don’t think I have enjoyed a LEGO Gift-With-Purchase as much as I have with this set in quite a long time. It’s an aesthetically pleasing set with small details and features that make me wish I knew how to sail myself.

If you have the opportunity to get this set, pick it up. It’s gorgeous and would easily fit in with any city landscape; heck, with a few small modifications, it could work within medieval setups too.

If you can get it, grab it.

Review – LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487)!

Whilst building this LEGO Ideas sets live over on our Instagram page, a viewer asked “ What’s your favourite GWP set “, it was a question that surprisingly had me stumped and one I couldn’t really answer. It wasn’t until after the stream ended, and I sat down to snap a few photos for this review, that I realised it was this one – LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) !

I’ll run through what’s in the box, the build itself, and what I think of it below. As usual I’ll give it a rating out of 10 and a breakdown of each rateable section.

The Box and Contents:

As with most LEGO sets it’s the box that grabs your attention first, although the newer 18+ themed boxes are less desirable showing just the build on a darker background.

This set has to be one of the better designed and produced boxes as both front and back look equally as good and features a calming and pleasant Sunset scene.

Inside the box there is an instruction manual, two numbered bags but each number has three bags, a very small sticker sheet, and two gold bendy rods.

The manual has a double page spread on the fan that originally designed and created the Sailboat model, LEGO Instagrammer and photographer @yc_solo aka Yan Chevalier . It explores his LEGO Ideas contest submission and the story behind it in quite an enjoyable read. 

As I mentioned earlier, building this live on Instagram I couldn’t really appreciate the build as much as I’d like, it wasn’t until I sat down afterwards and took the photos for this review that I really saw the set for what it is, an aesthetically pleasing and beautiful model!

The parts you get are so varied and make most sets weep, from the multiple SNOT ( studs not on top ) elements to the uniquely curved bits that make up the Hull, there is so much on offer in a relatively small set.

Bag one has us build the small ‘ocean’ base, the Hull of the boat, and the decoration on it. As you start building the Hull, it seems a little odd and doesn’t look quite right, this is due to the small gaps left by the wood-effect tiles and bare studs. Once the sides of the boat are applied this all disappears and out of sight, making the Hull look as it should.

We also apply the two stickers here also, are the bow of the Sailboat. The sticker reads ‘ Éloïse ‘ which is in fact the creator’s Daughters name!

The part in particular I like about this are the two gold coloured rods that run along both sides of the boat, they are held reasonably well and attached by several 1×1 clips. I think it’s the curve of each bar that really sets the build off and gives it that elegant look.

Bag two sees the addition of the small but considerably spacious cabin area, I’ll be honest and say I wasn’t expecting it to be open or removable.

Remove the white canopy and you’ll find what resembles a seating area complete with a table. Also notice the port-holes on either side, now that is good part usage!

Bag two also makes the sail, which is entirely brick-built and comes with a plethora of white bricks, including giant slopes!

The whole is a whopping 19 bricks high and hinged to either side of the mast, which allows it to move freely in the wind. The overall shape is very pleasing to the eye also along with the mast and ropes.

The construction of it is, at times, quite confusing as you start off with mast and the many Technic elements such as bars connectors, and tubes. Fitting the sail section by section as you move up the mast is somewhat enjoyable, trying to figure out which side they go and what slides where and connects to what.

LEGO could have included fabric sails but I personally don’t think they would have the same impact as these brick-built ones. The last couple of LEGO Ships have indeed been brick-built ( 3in1 Pirate Ship ).

Also included is a small side build that represents two Dolphins jumping out of the water alongside the Sailboat. The parts used here are simple with a handful of clear cheese slopes, two larger crear bricks/windows, and crystals.

Sadly the Dolphin figures aren’t or unique to this set but they’re always a joy to have and they make for great additions to any scene or MOC.

The Minifigures:

Both Minifigures match the set well and definitely look the part, but apart from the torsos there isn’t anything particularly unique about them. We have seen the female torso multiple times most notably in the LEGO Downtown Diner (10260) set.

The male torso is where we see the first set exclusive part, after a quick BrickOwl search as to what sets this particular bit comes in it only shows the LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) !

As usual all the designs and prints are done to the high LEGO standard we know and love. I especially like the torsos as they’re great for MOCs and other scenes.

Conclusion:

In short the LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) is beautiful and looking back at it now I see why others went for the GWP promotion and forked out the £200 needed.

As GWPs go it is certainly up there with the best of them, and one of my personal favourites.

The Build was enjoyable and straightforward, there weren’t many new techniques taught here but not every set has to be super innovative. The brick-built sail fulfils that on its own.

Both Minifigures are good although apart from the male torso nothing is exclusive to the set.

This will sit proudly amongst any LEGO fans display and sure to be centre of attention and many conversation starters.

Second lego ideas 80’s fan vote now open, lego wicked theme officially announced.

The Brothers Brick

World's no. 1 source for lego news, reviews, and fan creations., lego ideas 40487 sailboat adventure is the new fan-designed gift with purchase [review].

A few times a year, LEGO dips into the vast sea of fan-designed content on the Ideas platform to find a smaller set suitable for a free gift with purchase for customers, such as 40448 Vintage Car . The Summer 2021 example is 40487 Sailboat Adventure , designed by fan Yan Chevalier as part of a LEGO Ideas fan competition. The 330-piece set is available to LEGO VIPs starting today with minimum US $200 | CAN $200 | UK £200 purchases from LEGO stores and the LEGO website— check out all the new LEGO sets for August 2021 available today. Starting Aug. 4, it will be available to non-VIP members as well, and the promo is slated to run through Aug. 29. Let’s take this set for a sail and see if it’s seaworthy.

The box and contents

Like the previous gift-with-purchase Ideas sets, the box is branded as a regular Ideas set, except that it’s missing the Ideas series number (for example, 21327 Typewriter was #035). And of course, the set’s number positions it in the Gift with Purchase theme rather than the 21xxx numbers that typical Ideas sets have. With 330 pieces, the box is quite large for a freebie set, though, and is easily in line with $20-$30 sets.

Inside, the parts are divided into six bags across two numbered sections, along with the instructions, sticker sheet, and a couple of loose elements.

The ship is built on a small base of medium azure plates. Once it’s all built you can remove it from the base, though it’s not really designed to do so.

The sailboat has a surprisingly complex interior, with lots of brackets to make the outward-facing studs that the outer curved panels attach to.

Finally, there’s just the large sail to attach, which is a simple construction of white bricks and slopes, along with some black Technic for the mast and spars. With the cabin top and the extra bit of water with dolphins the set is complete.

The completed model

The Éloïse is a lovely little sailboat, and definitely one of the best that LEGO has produced at this scale. The color scheme in particular is just beautiful, as the dark tan hull, dark orange deck, and gold highlights give it a classic, elegant look.

The small cabin can be removed to access the interior, which contains a single 2×4 tile that I presume is a bed, though it’s a little too small to actually fit a minifigure. That’s a compromise I’m OK with making at this scale, however.

There are a few small things I think could be improved upon, though. Besides the lack of the rudder, which I already mentioned, the anchor is attached amidships, which is not a great place for an anchor unless you want your boat swamped. Also, the tiny bit of mast sticking above the sails is just begging for a pennant. It’s so naked there that it actually feels like a mistake that one wasn’t included. Here, let’s fix that.

The dolphins are a great addition to the set, as well. The little segment of waves they’re on gives them some nice movement. The dolphins are medium blue and have appeared in a couple of sets before (notably the LEGO Batman Movie Series 2 Collectible Minifigures ) but it’s fantastic to have two included here. A few crystals are used for the splashes of water. Neither color is new, but the trans-light-blue crystals have been somewhat scarce with only a few large sets containing one each in recent years.

The minifigures

The two sailors are each decked out in appropriately stripey shirts and kerchiefs. The female sailor’s torso has appeared in a handful of sets before, but the male’s torso is new. Both minifigures feature single-sided heads, and also come with lifejackets.

Conclusion & recommendation

Like the Vintage Car before it, this set shows that designs pulled from fans can have a novel approach, bringing lots of great detail to subjects that have traditionally been quite simple LEGO models. The Sailboat Adventure would be a great set at a $20 price point, and would probably still merit consideration at $30. The real question is if it’s worth dropping $200 to get it as a free bonus, but with lots of other great sets currently available, from the UCS Republic Gunship to the Ideas Typewriter , dropping $200 on LEGO is easier than ever—check out all the new LEGO sets for August 2021 available today. So the answer is that as far as free bonus sets go, this is definitely worth taking advantage of the promotion. It’s one of the better gift with purchase sets we’ve seen outside of Star Wars.

40487 Sailboat Adventure contains 330 pieces and two minifigures. It is available to LEGO VIPs starting today through Aug. 29 with minimum US $200 | CAN $200 | UK £200 purchases from LEGO stores and the LEGO website. Starting Aug. 4, it will be available to non-VIP members as well.

The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.

When I go to Lego.com, it says over 265 CDN, not 200. lots of stuff I want, but I got more of a budget than I used to. Nice little boat, but too much too spend in one go.

Thanks for confirming the sails are all bricks, not panels.

I ordered all the new Star Wars sets except the Republic Gunship. I was going to wait on a couple of the bigger sets but this sailboat set tempted me to just go for it. This review confirms for me that I made the right decision.

you can actually fit a minifig inside the small room on the boat so the bed isn’t useless.
