The new LEGO Creator Xtra Road Playmat set number 853840 is $7.99 and measures over 9" square. There are 11 pieces included in the set they are two playmats, a shovel and some bricks to connect the playmats. Each playmat is laminated double sided print and has four different designs in all. The roads have two turning a straight way and a t intersection with cross walk. Positive; Excellent price for what you get. New way to set up your play area as well as displays. With a easy flip or turn on the playmat you change layout of your roads. Moving the plates or putting them away is easy as unhooking your corner connections then pick up and move. Great play ability if you are on carpet. The Lego Xtra Playmats line made it so that the sea (853841) and park (853842) sets can be attached as well. The details on the road prints are outstanding, there are tire tracks on the road as if someone racing. Negative; Some of the playmats don't lay completely flat however I found if you use a 2x2 plate (not the 2x2 brick that is in the set) in the connection points then your 2x8 or 8x8 plate this seams to help better to lay more flat. I also would not recommend getting the playmats wet as it will warp them. You can clean them off with a lightly damp cloth then dry it. So over all this is a great buy and recommend getting additional playmats to build your Lego layout and with ease change them out, flip and turn for a all new layout. I hope Lego makes more layouts for the Xtra line. I would like to see dirt roads for setting up a race track, snow for snowmobiles, skiers and the new Arctic sets. Over all I would love to see some Lego Star Wars playmats. Happy Building
