Road Plates Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“The new road plate system is long overdue and is a welcome addition to LEGO City. If they continue to be regularly added into City sets, you'll quickly amass enough of them to build a great layout, even if you don't get any starter packs. The system is versatile, looks... More great, and perhaps most importantly, is much closer to the core LEGO building experience than baseplates ever were.”
New Elementary
“It is going to be a big investment to switch over a whole city layout to the new system, but in doing so, you can claw back some valuable table space for buildings and other features, while the new system is still compatible with the Modular buildings and MILS plates widely... More owned and used by AFOLs.”
Brickset
“The system is a vast improvement over the old road plates, in particular it's much more flexible and can be configured in myriad ways. However, inch-for-inch it must be more expensive, which is likely to push up the price of the sets that include it, or, as seems to be the... More case with some in the 2021 assortment, reduce the number of other parts in them in order to meet a particular price point.”
