Sparkly Unicorn Bracelet

When I first saw 41902 Sparkly Unicorn I was already predisposed to like it because of it featuring the purple colour. However, there are lots of other reasons to like this bracelet as well. The unicorn printed pieces were also only found in 21045 Trafalgar Square, and the lovely quarter circle printed stars tile is new to this set. DOTS has also introduced the quarter circle chrome (the database calls it "silver ink") piece both for this bracelet and one of the other DOTS sets. As a bonus there are four relatively new coral quarter circle pieces. Combine all that with the purple theme and I think this may be the favourite of the DOTS bracelets for me. more less

I feel like I say this every review, but I feel a bit torn. On the one side: The builds are boring. There is nothing special going on, and all just serve as a canvas for the DOTS. On the other side: The DOTS part of the sets are very nice. My kids love coming up with designs, albeit a tedious job to add the parts one by one. The goal of the theme is to spark creativity, and that it does. The theme is also met with a great response, both from adults and kids. On social media, I see many creative designs passing by. So I think LEGO hit the mark with the idea. If you want to do something else with your LEGO bricks than only building vehicles and buildings, this is a nice change of pass. more less

Beyond as a fashion accessory for a child, what utility do these bracelets have? They are likely to be show up on the wrists of adult fans at conventions, and knowing how inventive the community is will no doubt find their way into fan builds too – the flexibility that they offer may come in handy. more less

As someone who likes colours, the designs have been well thought out and I can see the new printed tiles appearing in MOCs giving a great reason to buy a few packs to play with or simple use as parts packs for your own building enjoyment. Such fun! more less
