A new theme that went a little under the radar last year was Xtra. These small sets included a wide variety of accessories to add to your builds. The theme returns in 2019 with 40341 Sea Accessories a small polybag style set with 24 elements to add to your nautical play.
There isn’t a lot to this set so this is going to be a quick review but be sure to read to the end for details on how to win a copy of this set.
Animals
The set features three different animals. First up is the classic LEGO shark. You can’t have something LEGO themed with water and not have a shark.
Next up is a wonderful two-tone parrot, to add a little pirate style to any minifigure.
The final animal is a small fish.
Water Activities
The set features a few accessories to help your minifigures with their aquatic activities. There is a standard surfboard as well as some flippers – both in lime green.
You also get a spear for spear fishing and a single paddle, I guess to use with the board for stand up paddle boarding.
Treasure Hunting
The set features a great mix of treasures of the deep and the tools to find them. The treasure consists of a chest, three diamonds and a clam with a gold star in it (I’m not sure why either). As for the tools there is a printed treasure map tile and a pair of binoculars
Other
Finally the set also includes an orange brick built buoy and a barrel. The buoy feels a bit like filler but the barrel is useful.
Verdict
This is a fun little bunch of accessories. If you are building a MOC that has anything to do with the sea there should be some useful parts. If you have a younger builder then this pack can add some additional story telling options for their imaginative play.
At just $6.99 this is a great little extra to add to your LEGO Online orders. This set will be available from LEGO Online from January 10th.
