I'm very conflicted about that set. Jaws was favourite viewing when I lived at home with my late parents, so it's one of my favourite films.
On the other hand, I don't think the diorama itself would look great on display. I'd have preferred if they had the boat above and the shark below, like a recreation of the poster but with the Orca instead of the swimmer.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, my 5 year old loves sharks, and there is no way it would survive without being hidden away somewhere, which defeats the purpose a little

I think I'd be forced to alter the design slightly and have Quint without his legs and with a rather large amount of extra red blocks.

Yea I've never been keen on it since I saw it was on the way. I think the boat is pretty poor too. Though the (whole) shark and the boat can be displayed separately without the sea which does look better.

I am a sucker for Ideas sets and like the look of this one a lot but at that price only after a min 20% discount!

Yeah, the shark looks a bit too friendly but I do like the blood idea, Bill 😅
Yeah, if it drops to sub £100, I would probably pick it up.

Or a very tempting gwp might tempt a sale out of me. Is it me or have the gwp’s got pretty repetitive and poor recently? Seem more of them and more often but not as good quality as certain ones during last couple of years…

It doesn’t look that different to the other lego sharks we have, which would be the main draw for my boy. And the boat doesn’t look that special. So…
