“The hidden message in the base is a great extra feature, that you can use to personalise your build. And if you’re not into the Valentine’s Day stuff, leave out the hearts and just have a cute bear. And if you can’t even bear the design, the set is also a good parts-pack... More with a selection of SNOT, curves and slopes.”

“40462 Valentine’s Brown Bear comes in at a reasonable price, especially when considering the price-per-piece ratio. Seasonal sets seem to be increasing in price (and size) year-on-year, and whilst previously this might have been closer to £9.99, most consumers would be... More willing to pay full price without too much of a grumble. At £13.49, it feels about right.”
