The Shanghai surprise is a very nice set to build, and it is really fun to play with. We get a seat for the shogun and there's a flag on each side which looks really nice. On the bottom, you also get two seats for the red ninjas and behind the seats is a treasure chest with some gold and some gems in it. In the front of the seats is a brown box which has a nice ceiling on the top. Of course, you can also hide your treasure there if you want. On each side of the box you can see a spear. On the front of the box is a very nice lantern and a grill which has a chain on it. The chain has a little raft which is a nice addition to this model. You also get some paddles as well. All in all, I think this is a nice set to play with, and I love the design of that boat. I also like the way LEGO® designed the cover of the box and the instructions.
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
