Ecosystem

21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V 91 — I thought that the LEGO Ideas theme had probably peaked with the release of the outstanding 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set earlier this year, but a mere matter of months later I reckon that LEGO has managed to raise the bar even further.

Modular Buildings — found the Old Fishing Store to be as enjoyable to build and at least as accomplished as a Modular, which is pretty much the highest praise I can lavish on any LEGO set

21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V 91 — While the Saturn V was taller, the Old Fishing Store is the largest fan-designed set realized by LEGO to date in terms of overall scale and complexity. The reviewer considers the Fishing Store's varied build experience and individual character superior.
