From Bricks To Bothans

Recommendation: no 2 / 5 by Nick Martin

This set is underwhelming and feels overpriced. It doesn't deliver on anywhere near the value of Mirkwood Elf Army, and there are a lot of sets in that $50 range that could take up your money. It has a few interesting parts, but nothing about the build is unique, interesting, or even new.

The Brothers Brick

by Chris

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 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.
