BrickEconomy Expert Review
“In this set, we're introduced to two minifigures, Zac and a new character named Jamila, though I'm not particularly keen on the trend of adding numerous one-off side characters to LEGO sets. Surprisingly, the human figures seem somewhat unnecessary here, as the main attraction is the trio of hamsters, each bringing something new to the table. The orange hamster is a brand-new addition in terms of color, while the other two feature unique face prints, adding a layer of collectibility.”
