Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 3 reviews

I bought this online to bulk up my brick collection and due to it being on offer it was a great buy. This is great for builders like myself looking to bulk up their parts or builders just starting out as the variety of bricks, minifigs and accessories allow you to build a wide range of things. It's for this reason I buy and recommend the classic boxes, even more so when there on offer !

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 25 reviews

This set of almost 900 pieces comes in a big box, and is for around thirty five dollars (fluctuates up and down a little) a very good deal when you are looking for the most pieces per dollars among all creative sets. This is much less than the list price at the LEGO store for this item (fifty nine ninety nine). Don't be too distracted by the "Mission to Mars", the theme of the various LEGO boxes refer to a couple of pieces that let you build, in this case, a rocket ship, and let you know that there are instructions that have to do with this theme inside the box.
