The Jaws franchise reached an impressive landmark in 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of the original movie's release. Widely hailed as a cinematic masterpiece, there has been a multitude of spin-off merchandise produced over the following decades, from scale models and action figures to themed rubber ducks, so it was really only a matter of time until a Lego set came along. As a fan of the movie for many years, now felt like the right time to finally check this out for myself.
The Lego Jaws set was born from a fan submission uploaded to the Lego Ideas website, which can still be seen here, where Jonny Campbell (AKA Diving Faces) laid out their vision of the iconic Orca ship and Bruce the Shark (yes, that really was the mechanical shark's name!) in brick form. For those who are unfamiliar, fans can upload their build proposals to Lego Ideas for peer review, and if they can get the backing of 10,000 supporters then a Lego Review Board will formally assess the project to see if it can be turned into an actual product. Lego Jaws hit that impressive milestone in a little under 8 months, and the rest is history!
