Pros and cons
What we like
- Three builds from the same bricks: camera, video camera, TV
- The camera has a movable lens and a film reel
- The video camera opens up for filming
- Stickers add detail, and each model works as desk decor
What may bother
- One model at a time: switching means taking it apart
- Display pieces only, with no working camera
- Stickers need a careful hand to line up
Our verdict
89 / 100Pick this for someone who loves analog gadgets and likes to rebuild. It looks good on a shelf in any of its three forms. It is no use for anyone who wants to shoot photos or for a child who wants figures to play with.
Frequently asked questions
Can I build all three models at once?

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
