A few lovely sets here. A couple I'm not so sure about - the puppy and Dino seem like they've been done before.

Still a few to add to my wallet's woes in 2026 however.

Hamster is my stand-out favourite. That hedgehog build is adorable!

These are all excellent. Every one worth at least one purchase, several deserving 2 or 3!

I JUST WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR SYMPHONY

Well I'll have to get the hamster!

"They do look pretty nice and cute. Especially 31385

But really, 7 out of 8 being animals, and many of those leaning towards the cartoonish side. I know this type of sets sell very well but I miss when we would get colorful cheap vehicles too, and of course, that one or two new buildings each winter wave. I do enjoy and buy some of these animals too, but at this point they should just introduce a new theme or sub theme given the amount they put out now"

Most of the (semi-realistic) vehicles seem to have moved into City these days.

I don't think the console set is much good. This is one thing where being licensed works well as they look like a specific and nostalgic object. Those three designs look like the sort of unbranded cheap generic games that people not wanting to spend much money on one could buy.

Some more great animals. So many being produced now, I'm having to be more selective in my purchases.

Mty favorite is the Humming bird. But I wonder, is that many animal sets in a year necessary? I guess they sell well.

Awww, cute.

"I like the shark. He reminds me of the one from the Jaws set."
It’s pretty much the perfect size for a minifigure-scale megalodon.

It would be cool if the mid-section opened so you could put a minifigure, skeleton figure or a fish inside as the shark’s last meal.

Amusingly, 31380 can be built as every type of device I played a video game on in the nineties *except* the type that comes to mind when I see the phrase "retro game console."

(I mean, you can surely manage that one, too, but it's not one of the three intentional models.)

31379 looks like a *severe* downgrade compared to the last Creator dinosaur, 31151 T. Rex. I like 31381 though, it's gonna go AMAZING with 21350 Jaws.

I'm not sure how that's a retro gaming console... I recall seeing the Creator dinosaur and shark with crab sets on a store shelf recently as well.

I feel like Lego designers have finally reached the point where they're just going through the motions for a paycheck, like you'd see from employees working for a big, soulless company.

Creator’s animal builds continue to impress me.

I will be getting at least 3 of 31385 Dolphin/Seahorse/Crab.

I don't really plan to get 31380, but I do like the swappable screens, reminds me of the backdrops in 41714.

@Zordboy said:"And that puppy. Look at the eyes. Just look at them. "

I think that ones pretty adorable, although it does seem to be cribbing 31137's notes.

These look so cool, especially the hummingbird!

Definitely picking up that Hummingbird, maybe the dolphin too

The Hamster and Dog are must-haves! They look great! And so does the squirrel. Will probably also get the Turtle and Dolphin.

31381 looks like a newer, better (?) and over two times more expensive version of 31088.

Lots of clever master builders there. They nailed the shaping with these.

Wished to see a few minifigure scale sets in this lineup.

The 31381 Fierce Shark with a Treasure Chest is a serious update of 31088 Deep Sea Creatures from 2019.
- 230 pieces become 379
- 14,99 € become 34,99 €
- Price per piece grows from 6,5c to 9,2c
The shark is really bigger and more refined. Now it is a Megalodon for the minifigures, and not a giant white shark anymore.
The price per piece ratio is mediocre, again, but everybody sees that each time a new set is launched, these days.

For the global size of the shark, we can compare it with the ancestor from 2004 4506 Deep Sea Predators 352 pieces for 20 €

Fierce shark and Fierce dino? Couldn't they think of something else?

And I feel bad for that turtle....everything is fierce, or cute, or playful or whatever....but turtle is just turtle.

Cute Hamster is cute, that's one I might pick up some day as an impule buy. The others not so much.

i'm excited for most of these new animals. the shark especially feels like an upgrade (albeit more expensive) of the last shark, which i was sad to have missed. this is almost definitely a very quick purchase for me

I just watched an episode of Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! where the hapless party ends up facing a turtle of sorts. A Dragon Turtle, to be specific. They show an image of it on-screen, and there's a bitty little guppy-looking fish next to its mouth that's apparently a rather large shark. Also, snapping turtles. They can take your finger off in one bite.

Don't know about the French market, but in the UK the Creator 3in1s tend to stay in production for quite long and often get discounted. So it wouldn't surprise me if this set was eventually a third off.

I like all these! Dang it!

I just don’t have enough space for all this.
