Recommendation: yes 4.9 / 5 from 27 reviews

got this for a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves this set, she likes how detailed it is and how the vehicle actually works, and she really likes the portal, that was a big deal. It also came with a lot more extra pieces than we usually see in a Lego set, so that was sweet. She was also very excited about getting a Sophie mini figure, this is I guess one of only two sets to have a Sophie and she didn't have Sophie yet, so there's that. Recommended, especially for a $15 set.

I bought this solely for the unique pieces. I built the set, then scrapped it for parts. Any kid would like to play with this. The quality is good too.

Brick Fanatics

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Daniel

Many of the previous Elves sets at this price point have been more scenery based. It is therefore a delightful change to find included a fully independent structure that is excellent to boot. Far from feeling like it lacks heft, Mr. Spry's shop is fully built and will look right at home in an Elves village, especially if one has The Secret Marketplace from last year's line. Fans of the Jones family will also enjoy this set's inclusion of the newly introduced Sophie. A variety of useful parts provide some appeal to AFOLs, but likely not enough to entice non-Elves fans into the fold. If, however, you have two daughters, you may find a rabid fan of Sophie in your younger daughter as I did.

All about the brick

Recommendation: no 7 / 10 by Rusty

As a set that tells a story it's great and I would happily recommend buying it for kids. It also has some interesting figures and elements. On a slightly negative note its diminutive size kinda of leaves you a feeling a little underwhelmed (maybe being over critical). However, at the price point it packs a punch and you can't argue against that.

For a set of this size, The Capture of Sophie Jones is a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend it for existing fans of the theme, but in all honesty it's my least favourite of this years Elves sets. For anyone looking for an introduction to the Elves theme, I'd suggest the smaller 41181 Naida's Gondola & the Goblin Thief as a better introduction to the theme. That's not to say this is a bad set, more that the quality of this year's Elves sets are so high that there is a lot to live up to.
