Recommendation: meh by benbacardi

As for the target market, my daughter loved these. The small dioramas inside each cube provided enough accessories for her creative play, and her and my son spent a while playing with one each while I was preparing their dinner.

New Elementary

Recommendation: meh by Elspeth De Montes

I'm not sure what the average 6+ child gets for pocket money these days but they are marketed as "the perfect impulse reward, birthday gift or holiday gift for kids aged 6+" and they seem to hit the mark in this respect. They will undoubtedly have both play and collecting value given their low price point and inclusion of both mini-dolls and play scenes.

Recommendation: yes by LMM

For the target audience, these cubes will be perfect for building and playing on the go. Heck, I'd even take it to show-and-tell at my school (if I was young again ... ah, memories of AP Chemistry class). For AFOLs the newness of some type of container always intrigues. Lots of clever builds will show up soon, I think.
