Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 1 review

i got this as a promotion, but at 5 dollars you really can't go wrong. compared to other sets at this price, you might see more piece count and some sets might actually be better - but that shows more about how lego loves to pack value in these tiny polybag set more than anything else. as far as a beach buggy go, this is about as good as it gets in a tiny package.

Recommendation: no 77 / 100 by Tom

My initial intent was to pass on this set. I ended up getting it as a bonus with another freebie I wanted. In that respect, this is a fine set. However, I would not buy this kit. There is nothing special about the Beach Buggy. Additionally, many nicer polybags exist and will undoubtedly exist in the future.

The Brick Fan

Recommendation: no by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I believe this polybag is also available at Walmart for about $5 and some locations even have it on sale for 20% off. Honestly, I don't think it warrants a $40 purchase because it's nothing too exciting about it. In fact, it just reminds me of Zac Efron from Baywatch.

Recommendation: meh by Adam White

The set features a funky little ATV-type buggy, complete with surfboard and a surfer dude Minifigure. The buggy has a Jungle Explorers vibe to it thanks to the colour scheme. The Minifigure looks like a rad surfer dude, especially thanks to the torso, which is fair rare.

Recommendation: meh by MeganL

This seems like a nice enough GWP if you're looking to make a purchase, especially as it has a low cost threshold. I've also heard rumours that this polybag can be found in Walmart, so in case you have to have it and don't have $40 worth of sets you must have right away, there may be a different option available.
