Mickey Mouse Reviews
Bricksfanz
“Disney has a massive fan base, which expands far beyond the realms of LEGO sets. So it's no surprise the characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse feature so heavily across various LEGO themes. But I have to say the characters iconic look is a perfect fit for Brick Sketches... More style. They are a unique build experience and make an equally unique display piece. They may not have the grandeur of much larger LEGO Art sets, but they are still great little sets to brighten up a desk or shelf.”

New Elementary
“Although the construction is simple: layering plates, the building experience is pretty rewarding and contrary to my initial expectations, I had a good time assembling the two sets. There is definitely a charm to the stylized interpretation of these classic characters and... More creating two universally recognisable characters from a pile of shapes is a fun little building experience. I have to admit, the sets are a bit expensive for what they are. A couple extra rare parts, a printed tile with a Disney logo or maybe even a minifig complementary to the subject matter might improve the desirability of these sets, but they do have their charm.”
The Brothers Brick
“On the positive side, there's no denying that Chris McVeigh was able to create a solid and recognizable likeness of the characters within the part limitations he had to work with. As a display piece, they do work well. If you're a Disney fan or gifting them to someone who... More is, then there are sure to be some smiles earned from the completed set. But I'd still wait for these to go on sale before I picked them up.”
