LEGO has produced some excellent promotional sets recently and 40336 Newbury Juice Bar should certainly be considered among them. It appears remarkably substantial and including two minifigures seems very generous. In addition, the transformation function is perfectly concealed and works nicely, even though its position looks rather awkward.
When images of the LEGO Hidden Side Newbury's Juice Bar (40336) came out, I felt that it could possibly be one of the best promotional items that LEGO has released this year. We usually don't get many sets that include two minifigures which this one does have. The transformation of the juice bar into the monster is simple but effective especially for a set this small.
Getting Hidden Side sets into the hands of people who wouldn't necessary buy any is a great idea however I feel LEGO missed a trick by not including any AR functions. Although a small set, a simple colour wheel could have been included to allow people to experience the AR functions. You can scan the Minifigures using the app, but it's not the same as bringing a set to life, like you can with other Hidden Side sets. AR aside, as a free gift this is quite a decent little set, it doesn't really match up with any of the other sets but it's certainly a fun little set.
