Hello and welcome back to Its Not Lego, my blog about alternative Lego sets. If you'd like to see my latest MOCs and minifigures, please also check out my other blog called https://BricksandFigs.blogspot.com.
Today, I will be reviewing one of my older building block sets, it's called the Fish Farm By The Sea, set number is 20543. It's from a lesser known brick company called Jie Star. I think their focus is more on smaller vehicles and some military sets, so this particular set might be a departure from what they normally produce.
This set includes four Lego style minifigures pictured above plus one dog. There's a lady in a business suit, two younger guys with baseball caps and an older guy with gray hair and mustache. The quality of the minifigures is very good, although I would have liked to see some craggy old fishermen type minifigures for this set.
Quality wise, the bricks in this set are pretty good and so is the clutch. Colour consistency is also very good. If there's one complaint I have it is that the baseplate provided is only 16x28 studs, not the standard 16x32 studs. I don't know why Jie Star just didn't use a standard baseplate.
The footprint of the shack isn't that large, but there's a large desk that dominates the inside. A smaller table and a chair would probably have been a more appropriate interior. As it is, it's standing room only.
And here is the completed shack and pier! Extra accessories include some oil drums and a small stool.
But wait, there's more! There's a cool looking diesel generator, a small watercraft, a few extra crates and a fishing rod included in the set.
Here's a better look at the fish rack.
And the generator.
Sorry, doggy, no room for you in the boat.Doggy, you want fish?
