Pinata Reviews
“This little set looks good, it's fun to put together but above all, we like the detail of LEGO® as a global brand of including sets that refer to other cultures beyond Europe and North America, we hope to continue seeing more sets of this type, inspired by in our region.”

“It's a delightful and colorful little model. I do like it when LEGO makes something that has not been seen before, particularly when it's small set like this that won't break the bank and can be bought on impulse.”

About Creator
The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
