LEGO Friends Pencil Holder Review

LEGO Friends Pencil Holder
# 40080

 

   Here we have a another great addition to LEGO Friends gear.  Like the LEGO Friends Brick Calendar, the Pencil Holder offers us some great pieces in the Friends palette, as well as a practical and functional brick LEGO set.
   Here is my brief synopsis: 

Pros:

• 138 pieces in a variety of colors, a great way to beef up your Friends palette brick count
• Two pets, printed LEGO Friends tile
• Better play value than the Brick Calendar set

Cons:

• Too much white, they could have offered a couple more colors like the Brick Calendar offers
• Fills up fast, not much space, but I can understand that a bigger design would be less portable and too heavy
• Fold-out instructions are not as nice of quality as we're used to seeing

   I can't help but compare this set to the Brick Calendar. The Brick Calendar, in my opinion, is the better set but I'm sure my daughter will say the pencil holder is better. She wouldn't stop asking me if she could take it to school.
   So, although the color selection may not be as good the Brick Calendar, the novelty factor is off the charts.

   I would recommend this set to any LEGO Friends fan, especially anyone with kids. I would rate this set a solid 8 out of 10.
