Record and Play Reviews
BrickEconomy Member Review
“Includes impressive builds like a stirring mechanism and a walking bird/dog, which function well and offer enjoyable play experiences. Despite some minor issues, I recommend the set for its innovative designs and engaging playability.”

“Overall, I give this set a score of 5. It should keep young would-be engineers entertained, and AFOLs might be interested in experimenting with the recording brick and re-using the green technic beams in their own models.”
