Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 12 reviews

You should know up-front, I tend to be a fan of just about anything LEGO, so this review is biased upward as such. I got this set as a gentle introduction to LEGO for my 5-year-old daughter and have since seen the pieces scattered around her room. Welcome to LEGO, kid. However, she has guarded the chicken leg, it's on her nightstand as of this writing. Could have something to do with my lecture to her on the importance of not losing the only LEGO chicken leg we own, er, she owns. But this is a great little set, mustard, ketchup, a grill with live coals. Granted, no one I know puts mustard or ketchup on chicken, but it doesn't matter, does it. EDIT 2010-01-24: I think the chicken leg is gaining popularity as you can now get it in set 7305 (Pharoah's Quest Scarab Attack) as well!

This is a cute set, but to be honest it's a little weird. Firstly, in how many countries is it common for small vendors to stand around BBQing chicken legs? It would make more sense if this stand belonged to a hotdog seller - just look at the condiments - classic tomato sauce/ketchup and mustard!

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
