LEGO Ideas has some of the best builds the last couple years. But this one, set number 21313 Ship in a Bottle might be the best one ever. This one hits stores in February at a $69.99 price point. 962 pieces on ship-building goodness are coming you way.

Create a timeless classic with LEGO bricks! Show you are a true craftsman when you create a Ship in a Bottle with LEGO bricks! Build this beautiful ship named 'Leviathan', including the captain's quarters, masts, crow's nest, sails, flag and 6 cannons. Place it inside the brick-built bottle, featuring a buildable cork and wax seal. Then showcase your nostalgic, nautical creation on the display stand, complete with the ship's nameplate and a compass with a spinning needle.

I feel like it would be cheating to put the ship together before placing the top of the bottle on it. I want to see someone put this one together like you would the ship in a bottle-kudos to anyone who tries to do that. Really this just looks like a super fun build and a neat concept I am eager to get my hands on.
