Another great 3in1.
Black cherries.
Also, it’s a bit weird that they’re doing this when a red panda was build 2 and a koi was build 3 for 31129.
Awesome 3-in-1, my daughter would love it
Cute!
That's a Day 1 purchase right there

The Black cherries were one of the first things I noticed as well, turns out it was in 31390 first... also as butterfly antennae!
31129 was discontinued last year so this is meant to be a direct successor I think. Maybe some of the designers just have an affinity for orange fish (Koi from the Tiger, Clownfish from the Red Panda)

Ultimately a fish build is always kind of an easy option, as it can be boiled down to an ovaloid blob with a tail fin.
Personally, I would LOVE to see the recently submitted Red Panda Ideas set being produced. I guess now we probably won't see that happening.
But this set looks cute enough that I'd still want to get one or two.
Cute.
Totes adorbs!
Oh god that’s so cute.
That slug is gonna get wrecked!
Very nice but €30 is insane for 297 pieces…
Cute!
Can't help €30 feels a bit much for this though. Not terrible, but Creator generally used to be pretty good value. No license, no minifigs, no printed or particularly large or specialized pieces......just basic stuff. Last years' 31162 had more pieces yet costs a third less.
I guess the CEO is now done with Ferrari's (like everyone after seeing the Luce....), and wants to move up to a Koeigngineggessgegeggniigengsegg?

Just launched a month ago, so easy to miss.
Adorable. The animal 3--in-1 designers continue to knock it out of the park.
I do have one question, though: Can the panda stand on it's back legs, in the red panda """threatening""" pose?
I have a soft spot for pandas and been looking for a good red panda to go with my 31165 Panda family, so this is going straight in the wishlist.
Master Shifu! Inner peace...
I skipped a few Creator 3-in-1 animals but I have a ton of them already. I will get this one when on sale - at 30% off this will be good value. I like a small set every so often (like a 10-20 minutes built and you're done - no need to plan a whole afternoon to build a set).
The main build looks fine but, unlike several recent 3-in-1s, the alternates won't tempt me to buy multiple copies.
The face/head looks good but the body and legs aren't integrated well enough. The legs are also too big/wide so the panda standing looks weird. Looks good though when sitting down.
The Red Panda was always my favorite animal to visit at the zoo. Might need to get it!
I usually end up with of each the 3 in 1 Creator set, but may just get the one this time. The fish is kind of meh. The owl is rather goofy looking and actually looks a bit like they just recoloured 76425.
Someone needs to get that Panda a cheezburger...
OMG cute...
Words cannot describe my excitement
I think it maybe could have been $10 cheaper, but that'd be my only complaint, and it's not even a big one. Otherwise, I think it's lovely and will be interested in picking it up!

3-in-1 sets have minifigures (https://brickset.com/minifigs/theme-Creator), and besides that, have had printed parts, although they're nowhere near as prevalent as in other themes.

Oh sure, but I meant this particular set. Like I mentioned, I don't see any reason why this has to be 50% more expensive than last year's 31162.

Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to type that in a language everyone here would understand....
