Pros and cons
What we like
- Bricks come in 35 different colors
- Windows, eyes and many wheels widen what can be built
- Idea booklets help kids get started
- Plastic storage box keeps the bricks together
What may bother
- No single model, so the finished result depends on the builder
- Small loose bricks should stay away from toddlers
- Reads as a supplement set, not a showpiece to display
Our verdict
86 / 100Open-ended building is the point here. It rewards a child with ideas, and it blends easily into any existing LEGO collection. Pick a numbered model set instead for a kid who wants one impressive build, and keep it away from the very young.
