This kit is waaaaay too expensive. It only has four fish. I’d just buy a real tank. The manual broke apart while building. I would think y’all could have produced this for a lower price.
This design is wonderful, it was such a pleasure to put together every piece was especially beautiful to put together and the fullness of the setting was a masterpiece I really enjoyed every step. It has going back and look at my work and the grandkid loves it as well.
My husband and I love to build the more advanced Lego sets suitable for display. This one looked like it might be too child-like, but we ordered a light kit and also a case and it looks awesome. It was so much fun to build and has received even more compliments than the Botanical Garden display.
So I paid for my wife and her friend to fly first class to Europe for a Danube river cruise. The least I deserved for that was an expensive Lego set. To get to the point, this is a great set. I’m through 36 of 41 segments with no missing pieces. The overall build is not repetitive but some of the flowers require a degree of repetition. The colors are what make this such an outstanding set. Everything fit, everything works. Compliments to the creator/designer of this set. It certainly is creative. It’s worth the price.
This build was by far the most challenging one I’ve done, mostly because I made so many additions that required modifying the original structure. For example, I added an anglerfish in a cave where the treasure chest used to be. It wasn’t as simple as moving the chest — I had to redesign the chest, adjust the orientation of several pieces, and rethink how everything fit together.I didn’t realize how much of a domino effect “just adding a few pieces” would create, and it made following the original instructions surprisingly difficult. Most of my ideas came from the 3‑in‑1 sets, but the cave for the anglerfish was the one thing I built completely from scratch — with help from AI.
Once I finally got through the build, I made it even harder by adding lights. The lights were designed for the original layout, so I had to modify the structure again to make everything fit. Honestly, putting the lights on was harder than building the entire set.
After a lot of experimenting, cursing, and a full month of tinkering, I’m really happy with how it turned out. I had fun doing it, and I discovered a level of patience I didn’t know I had.
I love scuba diving and almost had to buy this set. However, for not much more, I bought a Nintendo Switch 2 instead. I can't believe how close these two products are in price.
This is one of the most innovative and stunning sets of the year. While the price tag is high, it is an amazingly fun build, with some great interactive play pieces, and is visually stunning. This set isn't for everyone, but my son LOVED this build experience, from start to finish, and that's all you can ask as a parent with Lego.
