The Brothers Brick
“Lake-town Chase doesn't seem to contain a lot of chase, though it does contain a nice bit of Lake-town. It's a solid set; the buildings are well-built and looking nice, and the ship is great. There's not much in the way of unique or new elements, aside from the arches, but... More the vast majority of the pieces are brown or dark brown, with plenty of log bricks, so if you want to stock up on brown, this is a good way to do it.”
