Today, we’re going to visit Nicolas Riveau’s extended universe, so hop aboard the nearest rocket to begin the journey. Meet Nicolas Sam: Hello Nicolas, I was lucky enough to cross paths with your rockets at the Let's Go exhibition in early April, where I discovered your creations in the flesh (and bricks).

In this ongoing “Before and After” series, we explore how custom-made creations sometimes anticipate official elements eventually released by LEGO. For this special summer edition, we’re diving deep (literally) into underwater creatures and swimming back up to land for a few surprises on the surface. Let’s take a closer look at these nautical elements and their official LEGO counterparts. Dangerous Anglerfish The depths of the ocean hold great potential for some amazing underwater adventures, especially in LEGO form.
