Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 9 reviews

We really love LEGOs in this family. My daughter can spend hours playing with them. I really like them because she can be creative. Once she is done putting together the item she will often make her own creations.I love the quality of the LEGOs. I don't think we have ever had one break and we have many, many sets. I also like that she has something to play with once she makes it. Of course she has to be careful with it, but if she is, she can play with it.These make great gifts. I think my kid loves it the best of all. It is good for both boys and girls. It is also nice when the set goes with something like this one does.This was a good set. She was able to put it together on her own. It really kept her occupied for quite a while. I think it is also educational. It is good that she can follow the directions and also for hand-eye coordination.I would highly recommend this set.

This is a great set packed with all kinds of play opportunities. The larger Friends vehicles have always been winners, and this definitely continues the trend.

Recommendation: yes by LMM

As a large vehicle in the Friends theme, it's bigger than Mia's Camper Van and Pop Star Tour Bus -- it's loaded! So many functional aspects packed into every square brick of this bus make it a worthy challenge. It's also an adventure in building techniques!
