"Pop Star Recording Studio scores 67.7 in a Mixed Reviews verdict: its spring-loaded CD eject mechanism and themed accessories are genuine highlights, but a single minidoll and a flat main build hold back a set that would benefit from more enclosed design and a second character."
Pop Star Recording Studio (41103) lands a Mixed Reviews verdict with a BrickScore of 67.7, reflecting a split between JANG's reasonably positive take and Brickset's more measured critique. JANG appreciated the spring-loaded CD eject mechanism, dual-sided studio layout, and thematic printed details, while Brickset found the main build lacking in depth and play value with only one minidoll included. Owner ratings are higher than the expert score, with 381 ratings averaging 4.51 out of 5 and 100% of LEGO reviewers recommending it, pointing to strong satisfaction among the set's intended young Friends audience.
Where they split: JANG rated the set at 75 and recommended buying it, particularly praising the spring-loaded mechanism and parts selection. Brickset scored it 60 with no recommendation, focusing on the limited play value from a single minidoll and the underdeveloped main build. Owner ratings (4.51 average, 100% recommend on LEGO.com) suggest young target buyers are generally satisfied, bridging the gap between the two expert reads.

"The value for money is quite good and I quite like how the set looks on the whole, but it lacks play value in my opinion without a second mini-doll."
