LEGO Creator 31045 Ocean Explorer

LEGO set 31045 Ocean Explorer belongs to the Creator theme and is listed under Creator 3-in-1.

Set 31045 Ocean Explorer is a Creator model in the Creator 3-in-1 line. Its subject is maritime exploration, and it is not presented as part of a licensed story world or a character driven range. The focus is on the buildable model itself.

The set contains 213 pieces. The building experience is therefore centered on shaping a standalone ocean themed model from a compact selection of parts, in keeping with the general Creator 3-in-1 approach.

Ocean Explorer can fit free play, a small sea themed display, or a Creator collection built around non licensed models. Among sets in the same theme, it is best identified by set number 31045, its 2016 release, and its straightforward ocean exploration subject rather than by figures or media connections.
