Here are the inhabitants of the fish tank – the most noticeable being the clownfish aka Nemo/Marlin. The fish, corals and ornaments fill the tank, and create a very pleasing sense of depth between each of the elements. The fish tank has no physical glass or walls, just imaginary barriers between the frame which work well enough to give you a clear line of sight into the aquarium. The choice of an aquarium teeming with brightly coloured tropical fish seamlessly blends an inanimate object with organic creatures inside, creating quite a stunning result. The Fish Tank is of course the main draw, and upon completion, struck me with how good it looks as a display piece.Ĭreator 3-in-1 sets tend to be very play-focused with vehicles, animals or structures, but this is a rare foray into the realm of buildable objects for the theme, and boy does it work. ![]() The easel itself is quite basic, and the painting rests on the black frame without any firm attachments. The different-sized elements in use also create a really pleasing 3D textured effect which is most apparent when viewed on an angle. The colours and elements used are quite ingenious, and exhibits the unlimited creative potential of LEGO. The other alternate model is this Easel, with a beautiful portrait of a parrot. The bits of seaweed and coral growing from it gives off a nice underwater look. Here’s how the chest looks open, and from behind. It reminds me of the Golden Claymore from Breath of the Wild, and it’s the right size for your standard LEGO mechs to wield which is a nice bonus. It gives off heavy Final Fantasy/Legend of Zelda vibes (leaning to the latter because of the colours) and there are cool details such as the jewelled hilt, yellow winged cross guards and ruby pommel. In the treasure chest are these 2 items, a pink goblet, and a rather ornate-looking sword. The two buildable animals are great, which make great use of the extra parts, but the crab is really impressive with its posable arms and eye stalks. You build a small orange crab, a sea-bird and a treasure chest containing all sorts of trinkets. The Treasure Chest is by far my favourite, as the underwater theme matches the Fish Tank theme quite well. Let’s take a look at the alternate models first. If you’re looking for a fairly accessible set that contains plenty of replay value and bang for your buck, it’s hard to go past Creator 3-in-1.Īs the name suggests, you get 3 models in one set, a concept that is core to LEGO’s DNA, and pays homage to old LEGO sets, where you had alternate models shown off in packaging or in instruction manuals.ģ1122 Fish Tank offers 3 distinct modes – the major build which is the Aquarium, an underwater treasure chest and a painting easel.

Hold on! Have LEGO created an unofficial Finding Nemo set? It sure looks like it, with some other fish added in for plausible deniability, but it sure seems it’s very heavily inspired by the Aquarium at the dentist (P. In addition to being a rather eye-catching little build, one of the first things that stand out immediately is how familiar these tropical fish are – there’s an orange Clownfish, blue Dory, and a yellow tang. LEGO’s Creator 3-in-1 continues to surprise in the best of ways, and today, I’m pleased to share a review of 31122 Fish Tank, a charming buildable LEGO aquarium that’s due to be released in the second half of 2021.
