Trophy

"The Trophy earns a Skip It BrickScore of 58 because critics are divided on whether its novelty justifies the buy, but buyers who want a customizable LEGO gift set will likely find exactly what they are looking for at a fair price."

Expert opinion on the Trophy set (40385) is sharply split: Brickset praised it as a versatile, genuinely useful gift set with a novel connector element and solid parts value at $12.99, while Jay's Brick Blog found the design flat, uninspired, and lacking visual impact. That gap drives a BrickScore of 58 and a Skip It verdict. Owner ratings, however, are notably warmer, with a 4.77 average from LEGO.com buyers and 92% saying they would recommend it, suggesting real-world buyers who know what they are getting (a customizable gift piece) come away satisfied.

Where they split: Brickset (verdict 78) found the Trophy a genuinely worthwhile novelty with solid parts value and recommended buying it; Jay's Brick Blog (verdict 40) called it flat, boring, and uninspired. The gap between critics (BrickScore 58) and the enthusiastic owner rating (4.77/5, 92% recommend) reflects that buyers who purchase it for its intended gifting purpose are satisfied, while reviewers evaluating it as a standalone set found it wanting.
