LEGO LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store 21310

I was very late to the party for this one but after buying the medieval blacksmith and finding images for this I managed to find an unopened set on a certain auction website and I'm so glad I did! I've done a couple of the modular buildings which I love but this was a joy to build from start to finish and I love the look. The only thing I changed which is obviously a personal preference but I really wanted my quay to be right beside the water so the days catch could be brought onshore by the store, so I purchased some additional tiles and considering I've never done anything like that before am very happy with the results!

This set is one of the most unique LEGO ever made. The details are amazing and is playable even for adults. The building is not boring and the final result is like a collectible thing. Love it!

the best building I have built yet, better than any modular in the sense that there are details in every possible space and interesting ways to put parts together and keep it visually appealing, not blocky at all. Feels like they put a lot of thought into it, kept it on subject and didn't just add things because they could, but because it fit.

I now own over 80 Lego sets, most of them being the big ones. This particular set was one of the most fun to build, and compared to most sets I did not race to build it as its design was not the same as most of the Modular buildings. There aren't many repetitive steps so you must pay attention to the instructions. The building once complete is simply gorgeous, it is better looking than the 5 modular buildings I own. My grandson will love this one as it has so many unique details to play with.

Similar to the creator of the Old Fishing Store, my son is now 5 and old enough to get into Lego's like I was when I was young. His interest sparked a re-interest with myself so when I saw this Fish Store as a new product release and never having done a 2000+ piece build before, I wanted to give it a shot. Besides, I like the idea of enthusiasts collaborating with Lego. My overall reaction to this build is nothing but impressed. You open the box and a pile of bags fall out and a book. Not some stapled booklet like you are used to, no this is a bound book. Very Lego in build processes but the design was different in a good way. The wooden roof and goofy siding all fun to make. So much detail and focus in such a small space. Really well thought out. I really hope this product stems a line of follow up products. As for skill, if the builder has done any of the older aged buildings or items alone without difficulty this will be just fine. Piece A still connects to piece B as in any other Lego set, it just happens 2000 times. Follow the directions, grab all the pieces for each step first and then apply. My son is too young for this yet but he did like having the Lego cat chase the Lego birds while I was building it. If I had to grump to Lego about something it would be this: When you instruct detail items to be built with groups 5 and 6 but need to fit them into the tight spaces you built in groups 1-4, some of us are adults and our big hands don't do “tight fitting detail work” as well as a child – consider doing some of the detail work in succession of the spaces being created. Still, lots of fun and I look forward to the next one to build. Maybe Assembly Square, Mini Cooper, Disney Castle or Ninjago City. Not sure yet but I am really looking forward to doing the new Millennium Falcon but want my son to be part of it. Need to wait a few years.

The most fun set I've ever built, and I've built dozens! The details are great and there's very little repetition. It gave us hours of fun and between build stages we would play with it! As soon as the floor is built you can start playing. This set has a ton of playability. There are a million things to do, a generous amount of accessories, many places for the minifigs to work, play, spot oncoming storms, fish, buy and sell gear, and on and on. Add a small boat to this set and it will keep kids busy for hours. The colors are gorgeous and the completed set looks so nice you can enjoy it as a piece of art when it isn't being played with. I hope LEGO produces more work by this designer and gives him more than one shot at an Ideas set, because I would line up to buy another of his designs!

I bought this fishing house after wanting it for a while, finally purchased it because I had some friends (and fellow LEGO lovers) coming to visit and I thought it would be a fun activity for us all! The amount of detail that went into creating this set blows my mind. To be honest, the unique pieces (seagulls, crabs, fish, life vests, etc.) alone make this set worth it, not to mention all of the incredible architecture design with the way the roof comes off and the back wall opens up, it's just incredible. I can't recommend this set enough. Definitely the most difficult LEGO set I've ever put together, but I can't wait to take it apart do it again in a few months!

Big props to the Ideas designer and the Lego team for this beautiful set! The colours are unique and the fishing store really reminds me of the kind I used to see in the Canadian East coast. The little lobster, crab and seagull pieces are a delight to play and display. I bought this for a friend and he absolutely adored it.

Brought this set yesterday and it's by far my favourite. Fun and not at all repetitive which I really enjoyed. Loved all the diffferent bricks and the attention to detail is amazing.... kind of wish I had a real beach house with the same plan! Come on Lego build me a life size model on the west coast! 10/10 although it was abit expensive and I did initially have buyers remorse although it quickly faded when I started to build it. Lego, darling. Keep up the good work!! P.s. bring out more modular buildings, my partner and I can't wait anymore!!!

This is a Christmas present so I dont want to open it to make sure everything is ok, but the cardboard item box is wet. The shipping box it was in is dry. So it's almost like the item got wet at the facility and they shipped it like that. I've got my fingers crossed that the items inside the box are ok and not damaged, but I will have to wait until Christmas to find out.
