Sea Plane

"With a BrickScore of 76.5, the Sea Plane is a surprisingly satisfying little set — both reviewers call it a buy, praising its punchy design, clever parts use, and great value for under €5, with the only real drawback being the natural ceiling of a 53-piece build."

Both reviewers agree that LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Sea Plane (31028) punches well above its weight for a 53-piece, sub-€5 set. The seaplane primary build earns the most praise for its proportions, color scheme, and clever pontoon attachment, while the alternative builds (catamaran and swamp boat) are seen as respectable bonuses. Sentiment is uniformly positive, with both sources recommending a buy, and the main caveat is simply the inherent limitation of working with only 53 pieces.

Where they split: Minor split on value for money — Zusammengebaut rates it very highly (85) while JANG is more measured (72), likely reflecting different expectations for part count vs. price. Both still recommend the buy. There is also a slight difference in how much each reviewer dwells on the alternative builds: JANG covers all three in detail and notes their specific weaknesses, while Zusammengebaut focuses more on the seaplane's charm and overall play value.
