“Overall this is a great set, offering a decent mix of builds at about the price that is expected, and including an irresistible new LEGO bear. Some of the builds are rather simple, but the play element will make this a long lasting addition to any younger LEGO fan's... More collection, or any adult fan seeking something different for their mini world of bricks.”
