Lego Tropical Aquarium Build

Today, I am confidently building and reviewing Lego Set: #10366, The Lego Tropical Aquarium. This set has received some criticism regarding its price, which is indeed on the higher end at $480. However, the value really depends on the audience. Personally, I have always been drawn to colorful and challenging sets that can't be completed in a single day, making this set perfect for me. If you're interested in acquiring this set, I recommend using the "PayPal Pay 4" method, which allows you to pay in four separate, interest-free installments. (This is not an advertisement for PayPal, and I always purchase my sets with my own money.) Now, let's dive into the build!


The Lego Tropical Aquarium has well over 40 Bags. I will say that it is nice that you are given baseplates to build on for the water and the sand. Probably for the first 2 hours, I was creating the bottom frame of the fish tank, then creating the surrounding rocks, a cave with a hermit crab that can move, and a treasure chest that can open and close with a lever.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed assembling this set! Paying for the entire set upfront? Definitely not my approach! However, spreading out the payments made it an incredibly rewarding project. Now, if only I could make it light up like a Christmas tree. That's all for now, and as always... Keep on Coast 'n'!
