Bird Witch!

That witch looks like it came straight out of Minecraft. This set is a perfect example of the great sloped pieces we’ve been blessed with over the past two decades.

$10 and 500 parts. Great PPP! And a sturdy plastic bucket that will last forever? What a deal!

One thing that bugs me about the current packs is all the Friends colors with limited use. And, a flimsy cardboard box? How cheap!

Again, I don't get this whole sustainability thing in LEGO's eyes. They replace a sturdy plastic container that will last for decades (and even those that no longer hold LEGO are still in use around here), vs. a cardboard box that tears or gets flimsy quick.

I wonder if I could create things with this bucket?

There is 60270 for you.

For those who argue that the mosaic sets are worth the price should look at the ppp of this lol
This translate to around $60 for the mosaic with this ppp, not even considering the larger pieces in this set.

I don't feel the creativity with this set. I need my specialty pieces.

"Are the eye bricks on the witch actually different colors than the rest of the witch, or is that just a packaging defect?"

The bricks with the witch's eyes are dark grey. You can see, they use the same dark grey eye bricks on the turtle, there.

Damn, the way the lady with the turtle is built she looks hench. Look at that upper body strength, she's clearly about to start weightlifting that turtle

Nothing like filling up your tank and getting out on the open road with your cross shaped wheels.

Well, this is just a bucket of random bricks tossed together in an afternoon. The mosaics are planned out & then they get the interviews for the partnering sound-thingy. In addition, the mosaics are meant to be framed and admired on a wall, while these look better scattered on a child's bedroom floor. The mosaics may be slightly over-priced, but are definitely worth more than $85, adjusting for inflation."

Not sure how much was planned out for those mosaics. This creator set also have some kind of planning involved. Ironically, I found this set to have more originality than those since those are just Lego versions of existing pictures. Anyway, I was only pointing out that the price of those mosaics is a joke. Not even sure why a few people said $`120 is totally worth it. Seriously those don't even worth $60 imo. I won't even get it for $20.

"We totally had this one recently. I never forget badly built witches."
This is one of the better-built ones given that it's 2.5D and made entirely of basic bricks and just a tiny handful of plates and slopes, in no more than 7 colors excluding the printed eyes (which can be had in yellow elsewhere). And two of those colors are squandered on random spots on the witch's robe (which is just about the only head-scratcher about it).

You beat me to it. :-)

Then again, funny that both of us are not even from the UK.

The parts included aren't very interesting (although there are a few nice purple pieces) but the great PPP and the plastic bucket give this set a pretty good value.

So, I have to be curious. Why *did* the same set get three different set numbers in this case?

I like the inclusion of orange and purple - my first brick bucket, several years before this, only had the more standard colours (and a gratuitous amount of printed pieces, but, you know xD) - but otherwise, I can't say a set like this wows me at all; even as a kid, I have to confess that I got bored of basic bricks very quickly. The discovery of specific sets and themes was definitely the thing that saved my interest in Lego, even all the way back then.

There was a bucket and a box, not sure about the 3rd set number. One advantage of this set was that there where 500 bricks instead of the usual 250, including orange, green and purple colours, although a couple of wheels would have increased the possibilities? For £20, there was a 1000 brick tub which included tan and grey bricks, as well as double figures for the usual 2x1 bricks etc., which would be very useful now in modular builds at only 2ppp.
