My daughter (10) loves pigs. When I saw this I had to get it for her. She loved it. It kept her very quiet for an hour or so as she assembled it and I was quite impressed by the number of parts and detail. Like all Lego products it isn't cheap but I would say great value for money.

The Rambling Brick

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Richard

I quite like this set, and feel it was worth the hunt to find it in stores. The base reminds us of the lunar new year celebrations, while the pig itself is quite a nice rendition, maintaining the cuteness we have become accustomed in this series.

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by WhiteFang

To conclude, this is a great nice looking display set. I am a fan of Pigs and having this brick built animal in my collection is definitely great to have. The usage of mixel ball joint parts and the rotating disc helped to increased the playability.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Jay

It's a fun, cute and memorable build that goes well with all the other LEGO Chinese Zodiac Animals released so far, with some neat little additions such as the printed pig's nose-piece which was a great touch. If you've been a long-time collector of these Chinese Zodiac Animals, or even if you're new to them, you'll most likely enjoy the Pig and more importantly, hopefully gain a greater appreciation for Chinese culture – which sets like this do a great job of accomplishing.
