LEGO 6379829 Creator Downtown Noodle Shop 31131 Toy Building Kit (569 Pieces)

Really excellent and versatile build with great replayability. Probably the best 3-in-1 set I've had to date, great variety and intricate detailing. Definitely the best set I've had in this price range. Looking forward to the next 3-in-1 set; this one has set a standard that'll be hard to match for this price.

To begin with, the other two alternative models are great fun, even though they are much smaller than "model 1" and leave a pile of unused pieces - but hey, let your creativity play and build something out of them. After all, that's what Lego stands for! Having said that, the "main model" is fantastic, it puts the two alternatives to their places with its appearance. It contains everything that a good play set (contrary to display sets) should have: funny details, funcionality (ok, here it's "just" the opening doors and the possibility to fold the building, but still...), minifigs and a vehicle. To be frank, Creator 3-in-1 sets started to be something like the "better City sets", at least in terms of playability. I love all the details within the building, those on the facade and also the icecream-tricycle. It is a well-designed building (apart from parts of the back of the vending machine next to the stairs being visible). One small rant (apart from the price, which could be a tad bit lower): stickers. We know that Lego DOES have the know-how to print bricks, so there is really no need to annoy customers with stickers, especially when you decide to "milk" them for even more money. C'mon, get those printers to work! All in all: this is probably the best Creator 3-in-1 set for quite some time and even better than most current City sets. Recommendation: buy!
