Recommendation: meh 84 / 100 by Tom

Creative Storybook is a nice looking set. It is being given away for free this month (June 2018) with purchases over $99 at the LEGO® Store. For that reason, it is a really good value both per brick, and in terms of build-time. The Minifigures are satisfactory, but somewhat generic. It is meant to be a display set, but loses some of its fun-factor because of that. You get a lot of great, re-usable pieces in this kit though. Overall, it's still a pretty good set.

Overall the LEGO Creative Storybook (40291) is a very nice concept that is a welcome addition. I do like the overall aesthetics of it, minus the book cover and the disproportionate swan neck. I will also note that the book does not close up as it is impossible due to the size of the set.

Several excellent promotional products have already been released in 2018 but I think 40291 Creative Personalities is the best such model yet. Its unusual design is very distinctive and the open book looks wonderful on display, featuring an attractive but understated colour scheme as well as some beautifully textured cobblestones. The trans-light blue water is similarly impressive, really standing out against the tan pages of the book.

The Brothers Brick

by Andrew

It's a brief but fun build, despite some reservations about a few of the brick-built details (like the swan). A 307-piece set would often be sold for $30 or more, so getting all these parts in various natural colors, with some nice foliage elements and a couple unique printed elements, is quite a good deal for a $100 purchase.
