Lego Ideas Tropical Aquarium Build

  • Mar 27
  • 2 min read

Today, I am carefully assembling and reviewing Lego Set (#10366), The Lego Tropical Aquarium. This set has faced some criticism for its price, which is admittedly higher at $480. However, the perceived value is subjective and varies among different people. Personally, I am drawn to vibrant and complex sets that take more than a day to complete, making this set perfect for me. If you're thinking about purchasing this set, I suggest using the "PayPal Pay 4" option, which allows you to pay in four interest-free installments. (Please note, this is not an endorsement for PayPal, and I always buy my sets independently.) Now, let's move on with the build.


Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed putting this set together! Paying for the entire set upfront? Definitely not my style! However, spreading out the payments made it an incredibly rewarding project.


How We Rate It:

Difficulty: 3/5 Tikis

Display:  5/5 Tikis

Ability For Play: 2.5/5 Tikis

Value: 3/5 Tikis



The Build Process:


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.
