This is such a cool set! My 9 year old daughter loves legos and the Elves series has been so much fun for her. I absolutely love the colors and the instructions we really clear, she was able to build it on her own without any help. We especially love the tree slide on this one, works really well and it been really fun for her to send her baby dragon on a ride!

The Elves range has hardly put a foot wrong in my opinion and this is another superb entry. The set looks great from every angle thanks to the bright colour scheme and there is a huge amount of play value too. Tidus Stormsurfer's exclusivity is a bonus and it is nice to see Miku making another appearance in a cheaper set.

LEGO Elves is a theme mainly aimed at girls, but it is obvious that TLG is hoping to attract some male fans as well. This is the second Elves set featuring a male mini-doll alone, and the evil character to conquer as well as the large dragons might be quite appealing to some people who had no prior interest in mini-doll sets. Initially I had mixed feelings about those exact areas: dragons and an evil enemy sounded too much like another boy-oriented theme, and something I had absolutely no interest in. But this year's Elves sets have turned out to be quite attractive to my eyes, and I have even grown to like those dragons very much. In fact, I can hardly wait to get all the large dragons as well as the babies!
