As you'll see in the small amount of spare parts, for better or worse, the set lacks small details overall, though larger parts can mean it feels like you get more money's worth from fewer parts.

But I think that's why one set goes in the one direction and the other routes completely a different way - because of traditionalist interpretation of what one gender or the other cares about (which is silly; as a guy who was formerly a kid, the Friends set is just better. There’s a handle for the minifigure to hold, and it includes the corn husk, as well as the kernels, which are beautifully moulded. Despite rapid urbanisation, LEGO City has been plagued by crime and arson, with little room for anything else. There isn’t an EV-charger, which I think is a big miss, as I would’ve liked somewhere to plug it in.We will introduce you exclusively to Newpay finance products provided by NewDay Limited under this Introducer Appointed Representative arrangement.

Be sure to also check out this feature I wrote on why LEGO’s new minifigure with the prosthetic leg is so important for representation.

By and large City sets prioritise broad play scenarios over minute detail, while Friends definitely prioritises both exterior aesthetics and finely packed interior detail as its play experience. There's also a waste/recycling element (the bottle processing) which could necessitate the use of yet another large truck to move. We started to see if we can combine the three sets into a modular this weekend (finally got around to it, they've been standing around long enough ). It comes with an easy-to-follow building guide so kids can choose to construct their own LEGO toys or join friends and family members for a fun build-and-play experience. Unfortunately for the set, the devil is in the details, and the details leave something to be desired.
