“This LEGO® 40188 set is a set that is used as a desk accessory that serves to help your child happily tidy up his writing utensils by functioning as a pencil case. This pencil box has a shape like a garage or warehouse but with an open roof to put pencils. This set is... More perfect for use in conjunction with the 40154 set which is also a pencil case in the shape of a house. This set has details such as doors, canopy and lights that make this pencil case more similar to a house that has a garage or shed.”

“Despite a fairly small number of parts, we will appreciate the many small details. We thus find pieces hidden under the floor, flowers and accessories on the facade or even a rather successful mower. We regret that the designer did not deign to put a door handle... but we... More can easily add it with the few additional pieces. Apart from these details, the construction is really basic: a superposition of bricks and a few slopes for the roof.”
