Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My daughter is a huge Lego fan. It’s the type of toy that you really can’t have too much of. When we have some free time together my daughter and I will often build huge structures and both have a blast doing it, so I’m always looking for ways to expand our collection. Bricks are pretty expensive, so I was thrilled to find this set. The colors are great and the variety is exactly what we wanted. Here’s what we think of them after playing with them a bit: -Amount: We painstakingly counted them out and here’s what our bag contained broken down by color. This is a generous amount of bricks that will help with all your wonderful creations. 60 roof pieces (20 light pink, 20 purple, 20 white) 109 Light green pieces 133 Dark pink pieces 132 Light pink pieces 131 Purple 132 White 101 Light blue 103 Yellow 102 Tan 1,003 Pieces Total -Fit: There are a lot of mixed reviews about the fit. I’m going to post a few pictures of some Lego, Mega Blocks and these bricks used together. No, it’s not 100% perfect, I would say it’s about 97% perfect if I had to give it a number. For the price and the off brand, I really wasn't expecting perfection. I just want something that works and we can have fun building with. We don’t do Lego competitions or anything, we just enjoy playing with them at home. The difference we found is these bricks “snap” on and off a little more. They require a little extra effort to get them apart. This makes me extremely grateful they didn't include many of the flat pieces, which are already a pain to get apart. They also do have ever so slightly wider seams occasionally. My 10 year old didn't notice at all until I pointed it out. -Assortment: Each color has a mixture of regular height: 2 x 6, 2 x 4, 2 x 3, 2 x 2, 1 x 6, 1 x 4, 1 x 3, 1 x 2, 1 x 1, flat 2 x 10 and a few flat L shaped bricks. I LOVE that there’s not many flat bricks, they are super annoying to pull apart and I have broke my nails many times trying to wedge them apart. Each color in my set has 2 of those I believe and 6 of the flat L’s. The 60 roof pieces are awesome. I love that it came with an even number of each color, so we can build a roof with 60 pieces and have it all a cool matching pattern. -Price: I was lucky enough to grab this as a lightening deal. I worked it out to my price being $0.03 a brick, regular price being $0.039. I looked at a few similar Lego sets and their prices were $0.065, $0.067, $0.075, $0.075 per brick in the 4 sets I compared. Although, those sets do come with some extra specialty pieces (doors, windows, wheels). Realistically, when I buy an “off brand” of something, I am aware that there’s a good chance it’s not going to be as perfect as the original. This is no exception, but it’s very close. For the price I think it’s a wonderful deal. If you want a set with lots of unique pieces or you want every single piece to be 100% perfect (rather than 97%), it might be better to buy the name brand. If you want a large amount of bricks that work well and are good colors, this is your set!
