LEGOIdeas Old Fishing Store (21310) - Building Toy and Popular Gift for Fans of LEGO Sets and The Outdoors (2049 Pieces)

I had been eyeing this set for over a year, and finally decided to purchase when it went on sale. I'm glad I did. It's easily one of the most detailed and interesting sets I've ever put together, and I've been building with Lego for over 35 years.As fun as this set is for play (it opens, it has four minifigs, and it's got a lot for them to "do"), it's also a beautiful display piece, and extremely satisfying to put together and build. There are little secrets and details throughout the build - stuff you'll probably never see if you're just looking at the set, but are there for the person putting it together. It's also very, very different from almost all other sets I've built (both normal sets and Idea sets) - there are a lot of "just a little offset" (on purpose) bricks, and a "messy" look that obviously took a long time to design and perfect. It took me a little over 5 hours to build, but it's now on display at work so I can look at it every day. Absolutely worth the money for anyone into Lego or model building in general.

I got this set for my husband for Xmas. It's absolutely fantastic! The construction is really fun and challenging. It took good 5-6hrs. The set uses a range of interesting building techniques. The detail is amazing. I was building the Ninjago Destiny's Bounty at the same time, which has an insane amount of detail but I think this one has even more. The playability is also very high, there's a wide range of items for the minifigs. I love the ageless feel of this set. It fits our Ninjago and City Jungle rescue builds perfectly. I know this was designed by RobenAnne, a LEGO fan, and he's got a few other models he's entered the IDEAS contest, notably the Lightouse. LEGO, if you're reading it, get that set in as well!!! It's so much nicer and versatile than the Creator modular sets! I should also add that this set is great value for money in terms of piece-to-price ratio.

I usually don't bother reviewing products that are so solidly into the 5-star rating. I can't stop myself this time.This is an amazing lego set. It's usually hard to imagine or produce a lego set that looks worn and lived in. They're usually rather sterile looking. The tricks that they used to make this look chaotic and ad-hoc also contribute to a really fun build. The minifigs aren't anything to write home about except perhaps the captain's hat and sweater but there are a LOT of flavor/unique pieces like the crabs, lobsters, seagulls, wood panels, etc.My only tiny tiny complaint is that, from some sides, this looks like it's expected to have a boat next to it but there's not really logically a place where this building could be close to water because the lower entrance is very very low. It seems like it would be below the "waterline". I guess I could have done with some lines for some of the fishing poles.

This is in my opinion the best set ever. It has so many little details that I can't even point it all out. I mean, was there any sets with realistic carpet designs? This is supposed to be a really old fishing store owned by this guy called Anton, and every part of it is great. There is also so many unique parts and cool stickers! (3 seagulls, a CUTE CAT, harpoons, hooks, a telescope, a TNT, and everything. I can guarentee you this set has almost every thing you can think of.) The rocks at the bottom of the store makes it even more realistic. I am saying, this set just included all the features of a real old fishing store should have. Through it would have been better if it had a little boat. The price is good enough, too(I guess because I was already so obsessed with this set even before it was released)So, if you are looking forward to buying this set, I highly reccomend you!

We got this lego set for Christmas and love it. It was really fun to put together and is pretty sturdy. There are several parts that easily come apart so that those playing with it can place mini figures inside. The tower has two parts that come off and can be replaced easily. The roof also easily comes off and the back swings open. We love the seagulls, cat, crabs and lobsters. It also comes with many accessories that are just cool such as nets, fishing poles, tools, anchors and others. This set has been one of my son's favorites and he still plays with it often.If you are thinking of buying this set, I definitely recommend.

I wish Lego would make more of this IDEA creators stuff. It's awesome. Exceptional level of detail, sturdy, and loads of fun to build and play with. I have had both children and adults (including myself) who have had a great time playing with the set. Yes it costs a pretty penny but it's not a small set. A good purchase for any collector and a good set to save up for if you are a young one.

I have every Creator Mod, all the way back to the Green Grocer and Town Hall... I know it’s an “Ideas” set - but boy, this is by far one of the sharpest looking lego mods I’ve seen and a very fun build! The outside is obviously beautiful and extremely detailed- well, the inside is equal to the outside! So awesome! So much thought and detail! Like I said, I have all the mods and over 100 lego sets in general. Well I’ve probably written a handful or less of reviews for those sets - so it says a lot about this set that I actually wanted to write a review.

This Lego Old Fishing Store is one of the best purchases I have made for my 8-year-old son. He loves his Legos and has had his eye on this one for quite some time before I purchased. I was afraid it would be out of his league but I was wrong. It took him longer than usual but that was great. I work from home and he would build on this while I worked. It took him right at 3 weeks to get done and it is just like the picture!
