"A charming but uneven Halloween vignette with an excellent parts ratio and atmospheric window detailing, the Trick or Treat set earns its Mixed Reviews verdict as a step down from earlier seasonal entries, particularly in minifigure execution and design cohesion."
The Trick or Treat Halloween Set (40122) lands a BrickScore of 62.5 in Mixed Reviews territory, a verdict that reflects genuine split opinion among expert reviewers even as the tiny sample of five LEGO.com owner ratings (4.75 average, 100% recommend) skews positive. JANG found personality and parts value in the compact seasonal vignette, while Brickset identified real design shortcomings, particularly the disconnected black tree, unprinted pumpkins, and a minifigure torso one reviewer called inappropriate for a child character.
Where they split: JANG's take was broadly positive, emphasizing the personality, parts quality, and display merit of the main vignette. Brickset was more critical, specifically calling out the disconnected tree, the unprinted pumpkins, and the minifigure execution as falling short of the predecessor seasonal sets. This is the core tension: JANG evaluated it on its own terms, while Brickset held it to the higher bar set by the Valentine's Day and Easter sets in the same series.
