I am fan of the science-related sub-themes in LEGO® City. The Ocean Exploration Base (60265) interested me a lot in this year’s wave. The design is like the Lunar Space Station from 2019. I loved that set. Furthermore, I was into Aquanauts as a kid and never had the chance to get their underwater base. Therefore, Ocean Exploration Base checked

Interestingly, this one has me eating some of my words from my last BrickHeadz review! NOTE: The LEGO® Group provided this set for review.

I started my career in wildlife biology. Consequently, I have a big interest in animals. I like to collect LEGO® animals as a result. I have numerous alligators already. However, the Wrecked Shrimp Boat (70419) caught my interest early on. It has an albino alligator. I waited quite some time to buy the set, but I finally found it on
