Duh-nuh. Duh-nuh. Duh-NUH! Source: LEGO Jaws (1975) redefined what a movie could be. It set the tone of summer blockbusters for decades to come and put Steven Spielberg on the map as an esteemed director. Could the newest Ideas set do the same for LEGO? 21350 Jaws is a fun, interesting, and detailed set with loads of interesting techniques and parts usage, including a new string Mixel ball element. Here at BrickNerd, when The LEGO Group offers us a set to look at, we like to go above and beyond the standard review—whether it’s seeking expert opinions, modding sets to be even better, or testing out delightfully absurd ideas. So I asked my kids what they thought was the most interesting thing we could do together with the Jaws set, and the oldest one said, “Well, it’s a boat, right? Does it float?
