Cosmic Wonder Bracelet

My boy has two of these and they are such a fun idea. However, I think the way they are packaged is a bit disappointing as it is clearly geared towards girls only. The advert online had a boy in but all the packaging in the dots range has a image of a girl with bright pink packaging and not varied at all. There is a lot more opportunity in this product and you're missing a trick. more less

Crafty kids will love getting creative with LEGO Dots. We like that the line ranges from jewelry to desktop items, and that the larger kits include storage and sorting trays to make building easier. And all the crafts are super easy to change up whenever kids want a new look. more less

41903 Cosmic Wonder also has its fair share of unique pieces - all of the printed pieces here are unique - both of the quarter circle star printed tiles and the 1x1 printed tile with a stylized planet on them. While showing these sets at Bricks Cascade, this bracelet generated a lot of interest because of the black bracelet. DOTS generated as much interest from men as women, and most of the men (and many of the women) mentioned that they would love to have this bracelet in a larger size. more less

I feel like I say this every review, but I feel a bit torn. On the one side: The builds are boring. There is nothing special going on, and all just serve as a canvas for the DOTS. On the other side: The DOTS part of the sets are very nice. My kids love coming up with designs, albeit a tedious job to add the parts one by one. The goal of the theme is to spark creativity, and that it does. The theme is also met with a great response, both from adults and kids. On social media, I see many creative designs passing by. So I think LEGO hit the mark with the idea. If you want to do something else with your LEGO bricks than only building vehicles and buildings, this is a nice change of pass. more less

LEGO Dots is certainly fulfilling a need we haven't seen from the company in a long time, but the way they've integrated buildable bracelets with common LEGO tiles is nicely done. Even if adult collectors may not be interested in the jewelry aspect of the sets, the various tiles and the potential for the strap piece could be used for some fun building projects. The bags of extra tiles are worthwhile too. more less

Beyond as a fashion accessory for a child, what utility do these bracelets have? They are likely to be show up on the wrists of adult fans at conventions, and knowing how inventive the community is will no doubt find their way into fan builds too – the flexibility that they offer may come in handy. more less

As someone who likes colours, the designs have been well thought out and I can see the new printed tiles appearing in MOCs giving a great reason to buy a few packs to play with or simple use as parts packs for your own building enjoyment. Such fun! more less
