Mrs. Castillo's Turtle Van Reviews
Cerim Manovi, Design Director for LEGO DREAMZz — “LEGO DREAMZzz is our very first concept that celebrates the wondrous world of dreaming and explores what happens when dreams become real, ordinary kids become extraordinary and creativity is a superpower!”
“This combination of different things – such as a turtle and a food truck – is intended to encourage children to really embrace the dream world and imagine what they would do within it. As a result, fans are going to be able to buy some of the most fantastical LEGO sets in... More years. Will 71456 Mrs. Castillo’s Turtle Van travel by walking or by flying?”
Brickset
“Comparisons have been drawn between DREAMZzz and the sets from The LEGO Movie, as both include relatively mundane subjects that can transform into something fantastical. 71456 Mrs. Castillo's Turtle Van undoubtedly lives up to this comparison. The outlandish nature of the... More design will not appeal to everyone, but I find it charming, especially given the ponderous turtle mode.”
