Just remember that the 2011 version is also allowed for RSOTD.

Sail N' Fly Marina?
I’m no expert, but I don’t think marinas usually fly.

Lego and wonky, disproportionate aircraft, name a more iconic combination.

i have this set but its missing an expensive part i need two of

Would that be 4644 or 4645?

One of those sets I wanted when I got out of my dark ages

4644, I was referring to a Marina, not a harbo(u)r.

@MCLegoboy:
Meh. I'm older, but still look younger than this.

@Zordboy:
Looking at this reminds me of why I almost exclusively cared about Space and Castle sets in my youth. The first Town set I can recall caring about was a motorcycle shop (never got it). After that, there was the Outback sub-theme. After that...it was probably something post-Batman.

@Wavelength:
Shhh! You'll upset the conspiracy theorists who think the price per piece has been rising steadily for the 40+ years that it's remained stagnant!

@CarolinaOnMyMind:
It's a marina. You can go there to sail or fly. Well, sorta. None of the boats actually have sails, but there is a float plane. Even when they're equipped to land on runways, they more commonly fly out of marinas, since that's the whole point of having a float plane.

@chrisaw:
Batman. Purple. Cheese wedges and other modern parts. Boats that can actually float.

@Isabella_and_Lego_Liker:
Harbour? You'll want 75810. Ask for the sheriff (speaking of things I'm older than but still look younger than).

One of my all time favorites. I was so happy to get it by surprise from an used lot.

I couldn’t agree more!

I loved the look of this set in the 90's, but I was already too old, even for Technic. I was about to start university and my last set was 8868 : Air Tech Claw Rig in 1992. And finally I found it on eBay in 2010 for 30 euros. It is absolutely awesome : detailed, colorful, with so many vehicles and minifigs. A complete world by the sea ! the 4644 Marina from 2011 looks sad and empty, compared to it.

I put it on display in a lego convention, in 2018, with a harbor diorama. I'm not sur you can see the photo from facebook but I add the link https://scontent-cdt1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/28947624_10216686960636522_8578775540091980359_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=xMlRDcAW50wAX90Byyu&_nc_ht=scontent-cdt1-1.xx&oh=cd3af1f6419aa9dbfb2525924b4b6f3c&oe=603B4A26

I like the way the Octan attendent is relaxing with a cool beer in the cafe while all the speed boats are sneakily filling up on petrol before he returns (hence the baseball cap and shades to disguise themselves on CCTV). I don't ever remember seeing this at the time but the boat seems to be able to be lifted into the dry dock, are not single hulled which allows for more interesting alternative builds, and the fronts seem to be able to float upwards.

I remember that we got these harbor sets—6540-1(Pier Police), 6541-1 (Intercoastal Seaport), 6542-1 (Launch & Load Seaport), and Sail N’ Fly Marina—really cheap at an overstock/liquidation discount store in the 90s. The store hardly ever had LEGO sets, but we got these and an electric train there. My father was so proud that he got these sets so inexpensively.

Best set in 1990's Town

Don't feel bad. {old timer voice} I've been an AFOL longer than you've been alive!

I didn't know that there were - and would be - others out there. As far as I knew, I was the only adult who found LEGO cool. At least AFOLdom has been 'a thing' most of your life. You don't know how lucky you are. {/old timer voice}

@Huw, Why does Brickset now say I'm in the US?

@GSR_MataNui:
That's not the general response sets have received in recent years. Everything from 75098 to 60271 have been raked over the coals for being "playsets with tons of separate models".

Got this set for Christmas '94 as a KFOL. It was awesome.

The tragic loss of racing boat number 2, which sunk to the bottom of the marina with all hands on board, will never be forgotten.

@yamaki:
Because they basically limited it to what comes in a Crayola 8-crayon box, except replacing orange and purple with light-grey. Now, adults want more realistic colors for their buildings, so there's sand colors, dark colors, tans and browns, olive-green, and various other "earthy" colors.
