Pros and cons

What we like

  • Detailed house section with chimney and balloons
  • Two minifigures (Carl and Russell) and a Dug dog figure
  • Includes a wilderness explorer backpack and an adventure book
  • LEGO Builder app lets builders zoom and rotate models in 3D

What may bother

  • Recommended for ages 9 and up, with a build that takes some patience
  • Shows a section of the house, not the whole home
  • Display focus means less open-ended play than a city set

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.
