"Scoring a BrickScore of 75 across two reviewers in strong agreement, Create The World (40256) is a quietly delightful Sainsbury's exclusive that earns its buy recommendation primarily on the strength of its exclusive minifigures and nostalgic convertible design — solid proof that small promotional sets can deliver real collector appeal."
Reviewers are in strong agreement that LEGO 40256 Create The World is a charming, nostalgic little promotional set that punches above its weight for its modest price point. The exclusive Lily and Sam minifigures — loaded with vacation-themed accessories and rare facial expressions — are the clear highlight. The 3-in-1 build options offer variety, with the convertible car standing out as the best of the trio thanks to its classic four-stud-wide proportions reminiscent of vintage LEGO City vehicles. Both reviewers recommend a buy, particularly for collectors and fans who can access it.
Where they split: Minor: Brickset focused more on the minifigure exclusivity and parts-for-MOCs angle, while Zusammengebaut emphasized the nostalgic design aesthetic of the convertible. Both landed at the same verdict score (75) and recommendation.

"The two minifigures are apparently exclusive to this set and are named Lily and Sam. Both are excellent generic figures that'll be at home in any City scenario."
Brickset Reviews"The vehicle meanwhile has a wonderfully nostalgic quality: four studs wide, just like in the good old days when we grew up with LEGO City."
