Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 270 reviews

An awesome lego set, I got it for my almost 5 y-old who adores volcanoes, and he couldn't be more thrilled. The volcano is great and does take some building. The instructions are very clear and he managed to build the whole thing almost on his own. He does have good motor skill and can be very focused when interested, but still, he's not 5 yet. The instructions are extremely well made, with close-ups and 1:1 size guides to check you picked the right piece. Thumbs up !!

The Rambling Brick

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Richard

This is a great set, especially at the $10 purchase price at Kmart in Australia this week. The builds are simple, but the play features are remarkably effective. The representation of women in traditionally (in LEGO) male dominated roles is exciting, and the quality of the figures in this set is awesome.

All about the brick

Recommendation: no 4 / 10 by Rusty

I'm not a big fan of this sub-theme. I had high hopes when I heard of its concept, but sadly I don't think it's transferred into LEGO form in scale (Volcanoes are large beasts) and I think the colour scheme is jarring and off key.
