Yeah, wow. I really thought we'd already had this set, last week.

My least favorite part of British and a lot of their old territories websites is British English. Seriously though I couldn’t use movie in a SW set review.

@Mr__Thrawn:
No, clearly one of these minifigs is named David.

@CarolinaOnMyMind:
You have my sympathies, CaroulinaOunMyMindinium.

Love the classic look of this, could easily have been released in the 1990s, well almost in the 1980s!

Getting ready to send Chase McCain to the other side of the planet

Oh we've far from perfected it, but it's getting better every day

I wish we got more harbour sets. Both industrial and recreational.

Any ideas why Lego hasnt done any harbour stuff since 2011???

We have had some small boats but youd think a cargo ship would be popular with kids, especially since most Lego boats float.

Cargo Terminal (released 2017 I think??) was a great set that likely wouldve been near a harbour but as mentioned this set was the last cargo ship and proper Harbour set we've gotten.

Id like to see a new version of a set like this (or the previous one from 2009 with the massive blue ship)
A new marina (An updated version of the Surf and Sail would be pretty cool)

Perhaps a passenger ferry

Some smaller watercraft namely an actual fishing boat such as a trawler rather then these persistent 'fishing boats' that are actually just yachts and someone with a fishing rod

A pilot boat either as a side model for a big set or a small say $20-25 set.

Would anyone else be interested in a lego minifig scale flying boat? I really want to see that, perhaps a $40-$50 set with a 6 wide plane seating maybe 4 or 5 passengers (plus pilot) and a small dock and a buoy or something.

We need more industrial themed sets like this!

Genuinely thought we'd got the same set for a minute there. The fisherman in this one looks like he's having more luck than the other though!

I like the other harbour set better, but still a great set. I think this set is lacking goats.

This set just arrived yesterday - what a coincidence! This will fit really well into my planned harbour in the city

I've been ploughing through the humourous comments to analyse the flavour of them and I appreciate how the dialogue has been carried out so as not to cause offence.
Yes, languages and the spellings of words develop and change; "mediaeval", for instance, is hardly ever used any more, which is a shame- it's a lovely word.
Yes, some English English spelling are very illogical: well done Noah Webster for his reforms in the US.
However, I think it's good to have diversity in spelling, dialect and accent- most of England, for instance, is now a monoculture and that's a great shame.
Have a good day now, y'all.

Why get more police boats than one needs, when we could have more of this?

Approx. 20% of the letters in English words are unnecessary. Knight, beautiful. Don't start such a debate. :)

Slimmed down version of the previous RSOD 7994 for the same $90, but guessing everyone this year went for the usual far more impressive 7498: Police Station for around the same price, which is why there has not been a harbor since. Main problem seems to be that the boats are so expensive resulting in far less pieces for the harbor so never looks that impressive for the price.

This one is great but 6542 from 1991 (!) is still the better set. We need more seaport sets.

Nice but for me 7994 is much better. Fun fact: 6542 (1991 set) is biggest (has 1080 pcs) Lego harbour to this day. In 1991, this set broke the record for the largest set in amount of parts. The record previously belonged to 5590 .

Great set, but the previous one was way better in my opinion. 7994 for the win!

Uno dei primi set che ho comprato dopo la mia "età oscura".

Non ho mai avuto il classico porto degli anni '90 (6541 e 6542), ma questo set è un remake accettabile, aggiornato ma comunque classico

You mean like in Chicken Run, or are the chickens going to attempt to overthrow the government now too?

I have to agree, a return of the farm theme would be more than welcome, those minifigures need to get their food from somewhere!

Or as the Americans call them, chicken cops.

What's wrong McFly? Chicken?
:-)

I really liked this set. The link to the Farm range was neat but I particularly like the colour scheme referencing 1980's 6363 Auto Repair Shop. And the conveyer feature linking back to classic lift-and-load depots and Basic Sets like 360 Gravel Works from 1974.

My fellow Americans, I do question the wisdom of bashing British English and spelling on a British-based site...

But I do agree with @Pongo. The small differences in language (both spoken and written), even within similar/the same cultures are a great thing and it’s sad to see them disappearing.

@Yooha
That’s completely true. There are so many unnecessary letters in English.
Really, French is where it’s at.

@Brickchap:
It just occurred to me that parts 11090, 23443, or 72869 would be perfect for mounting a row of fishing poles across the transom, for a commercial trawler. If by “flying boat” you mean a float plane where the fuselage sits in the water, the major problem I see with that is that we never see the keel of a LEGO boat because it sits below the waterline. For a smaller float plane that sits on pontoons, that’s not going to be as noticeable, but when the fuselage has its own waterline, you really have to design it to be always flying or always floating.

@Brickalili:
He moved to a different part of the dock, and where the fishing is better.

@AustinPowers:
Yup, we took those sacred cows out back and returned with a cart full of tasty, tasty steaks.

I personally wouldn't eat anything I'd catch while fishing in an industrial harbor...

@Yooha:
“Kaaaaaaaniggit”

Nope, no extra letters there, but it might be the only time in the history of the English language that “h” was used as a vowel.

@Kynareth:
Chicken _coops_. Spell it like it sounds. And since it’s not pronounced “chicken cowps”...

@oldfan:
You’re not fond of a shoe-leather and steel-belted radial sandwich with a side of tin can?

What i miss the most, part wise, is that bucket for crane. I almost bought the Heavy-Haul Train, but the price was too much for me. Fingers crossed, 6 years since the last one came out.

@PurpleDave, check the original post.

Britain invented English, the US got a beta version and haven’t patched it yet.

Let’s just all agree that English spelling (British, American or other) rarely makes sense.
For evidence, I submit the old illustration used to advocate for spelling reform: ghoti.
“gh” as in “laugh“
“o” as in “women” and
“ti” as in “nation”
Therefore, g-h-o-t-i spells “fish”

I have this set. It will be integrated with the National Geographic Explorer sets and the Fisherman’s House. I’ll need to build a bigger wharf. With any luck I’ll have a train siding too.
