41381 Friends Rescue Mission Boat Island Toy for Kids with Olivia, Andrea and Mia Mini Dolls, plus Robot and Whale Figures

This was the long awaited toy for the kids and they spent over 6 hours building it. It is so interesting that the kids want to knock it down and build it all over again just for the fun. When built the boat is pretty big and interesting with all those small bits.

This was a present for my 6 year old Lego mad daughter. As usual with Lego it is a truly brilliant set and we are yet again impressed with the quality and the play value. I really enjoy the fact that Lego is fun during both the build stage and the post build play stage. This set took my daughter 2 days on and off to build (maybe 5 to 6 hours in total), she didn't get bored and methodically followed the well written instructions. Once built she added it to her ever growing collection which is currently dominating the playroom floor. She has had a huge amount of fun taking her lego sets off on boat adventures, her Ninjago figures were even involved in foiling an attack on the boat. The attention to detail with these sets is impressive, I like the conservation and animal rescue slant to this set and it has further fed my daughters desire to know more about the sea, its inhabitants and the impact of plastics etc on the sea (slightly ironic given that Lego is made from plastic....at least it is unlikely to ever end up on Landfill given the fact that we still have heavily played with sets from my husbands youth!)

This boat is a real triumph. It's sleek curvy design and colour scheme are peak Friends, and the level of detail and playability is excellent. Like the best Friends sets, it acts as a kind of doll's house that my daughter loves using as a backdrop for the stories and adventures the characters embark upon. The crane, rescue dinghy and laboratory add a great science-based aspect which I'm grateful for, and the fact tiny things like a CCTV camera, prow-mounted telescope and fish-tank have been included speaks volumes for how the Friends sets prioritise maximising the amount of things to play with. A must buy.

Again Amazon - great price on Lego! However, as seems to be standard across Lego friends set, they are a bit simple given the age category and also a bit lacking in volume/size. This should have been a £79 kit and in my opinion it doesnt feel like quite enough for the price tag. My 8YO (with no concept of cost) really enjoyed the build and the finished product however many sub £50 technic sets present a more challenging and satisfying experience, and playability of the finished model, and therefore better overall value

This is awesome. I might be biased as I'm a huge Lego nerd and trying to force my kids to love it too... But the set is amazing. Really good fun to make and it looks great too.

My Granddaughter really enjoyed making this Lego. It was given to her for Christmas.

Christmas gift, much enjoyed by my 8 year old granddaughter! A challenging build, you do need to follow the instructions carefully, not be tempted to guess! Great satisfaction when completed and great for playing with too!

Got this on Amazon for a great price. 11 year old Daughter took a few days to build it and has enjoyed playing with it once built.
