LEGO Ideas Jaws set 21350 recreates the moment Chief Brody, Quint and Hooper confront the shark from the deck of the Orca. The 1,497-piece display set includes the boat, a brick-built shark, a seawater base and all three characters as minifigures.
What’s included in LEGO Jaws 21350?
LEGO describes the model as a fan-inspired display set based on the 1975 film. Its central scene is the Orca at sea, with a brick-built shark that can be positioned as part of the water display or shown separately.
