Recommendation: meh 3.9 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

Overall, this is a good set. I'd say it's not very impressive but the price is pretty darn good, with three figures and a decent build.

Our kids LOVE legos, and our daughter is wild for horses. Marry those two and there ya have it. This was a really simple set but was in our budget and has lived up to all of her hopes and dreams. (But we tend to be pleased with small things.) It has several cute, little extras (like tiny flags or flames) that you can insert into the tops of helmets or heads, or the wagon. She loves how the horse's helmet makes his/her eyes turn fiercesome looking. It is a cute set with "wheels that really roll." Now, if she can just ever manage to find it still intact after school each day, when the 2 and 4 year olds have had their coveted turns with it... If not, well then, all the more creating/building/assembling genius she will get to exercise yet again!

A solid set for the price, the design of the carriage is underwhelming but the set is rescued by the minifigs and the horse, and the opportunities and scenarios that can be created.

You get what you pay for. Some of the pieces and the good amount of minifigs are a nice feature of this set, but the overall design is lackluster in appearance.

The carriage will probably do well to most kids and to the rest of us, it's just spare parts. A fine set, which I predict to sell very well to both kids and AFOLs globally.
