Our Take
A mid-range LEGO Creator set aimed at teenagers and adults who enjoy nostalgic themes and varied builds. The 31147 recreates a classic film camera with realistic detailing, and includes instructions for two alternative models — a retro TV and a games console — making it a flexible option for builders who want more than a single display piece.
Key Features
Three buildable models from one box: a retro camera, a vintage television, and a classic games console with controller
Piece count sits in the 300–400 range, placing it in a manageable medium-complexity bracket
The camera model includes a rotating lens barrel and a flip-up flash unit
Printed elements used for screen and dial details rather than relying solely on stickers
Colour palette is dominated by tan, dark red, and dark grey for an authentic retro aesthetic
Aimed at ages 8 and up, though the nostalgic design appeals strongly to older teens and adults
Our Verdict
Ideal for LEGO fans aged 12 and up who appreciate retro aesthetics and want a satisfying, affordable weekend build with decent display value. Dedicated collectors seeking a complex showpiece may find it too simple, but as a gift or casual build it hits its price point comfortably.
