Brickset
A simple impulse purchase, with little to recommend it — “To be honest, I don't think there's much reason to be picking this set up in the year 2020. It's small, overly simple and doesn't have any special pieces to add to a parts collection. The minifigure is cool, but doesn't have much to him outside a blue shark torso and blue... More helmet. If it's part of a bulk lot, obviously don't turn it down but I wouldn't be really scouring the web for this one.”
