Shopper Reviews Highlight Creativity and Repetition
One shopper praised the set: “In my opinion this is the most creative set Lego has created. They turned an abstract piece of sculpture into an accessible but challenging build. The selection of pieces and color shades is amazing.” Another added: “As a Lego family we were absolutely thrilled to have received this product, even more so for my football mad son. The finish was fantastic and it is now pride of place.” However, one reviewer noted: “You build almost the same exact section over and over... this doesn't even look cool, and not only is it repetitive... it's annoying.” Despite this, most buyers recommended the set for World Cup enthusiasts.
