LEGO Friends Brick Calendar - Review
Item: 850581
Pieces:140



Pros:

• 140 pieces is a high piece count for this type of set

• Great color selection to complement the Friends theme

• No stickers!

• 2x4 LEGO Friends logo printed tile

• Includes two animals: Goldie (bird) and Maxie (cat)

• This is a fun and interactive way to teach your kids about calendars

Cons (none really, just being picky now):

• Would have been great to have a brick with special printing on it like a birthday cake or maybe a pumpkin (halloween) or heart (valentines) to represent special occasions

• There is no place to store the extra printed month bricks

  I really don't have anything negative to say about this set. It really delivers on value for price considering the piece and color selection are better than even some of the official Friends sets. This set is a great way to beef up your Friends palette brick count. I'm regretting not buying another.
The best thing about this set is there are absolutely no stickers! Thank you LEGO for the printed bricks. I especially like that the twelve months are printed on six bricks, with each brick having a unique printed pattern. 

  And finally I just wanted to say this set is very practical. It not only offers a calendar for daily use, but doubles as a great learning tool for your kids. My daughter is at the age where she is learning about days, weeks, months and years in school, so this set is a great teaching aid for me to use with her. 

  I highly recommend this set for any Friends fan. I would rate this set a 9 out of 10.
