Comic Book and Game Store

"The Comic Book and Game Store earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 80.8, delivering a strong themed build with well-designed mini dolls and high owner play satisfaction, though value for money and parts appeal are more modest than the best entries in the Friends line."

The LEGO Friends Comic Book and Game Store is a colorful, theme-appropriate 1,005-piece build that owners, particularly parents buying for children, receive warmly. LEGO.com ratings average 4.87 out of 5 across 27 reviews, and play experience is rated 4.78 out of 5, suggesting strong satisfaction in use. The set scores a BrickScore of 80.8 in the Recommended tier, with reviewers finding the design aesthetics and minifigures strong but value for money and parts value more modest. One caution: the would-recommend percentage from LEGO.com is just 30%, a signal worth weighing given the otherwise positive ratings.

Where they split: The 30% would-recommend figure from LEGO.com buyers is unusual given the high average rating and play experience scores. This may reflect the set attracting buyers who gave it as a gift without fully verifying age-appropriateness or theme alignment, rather than dissatisfaction with the set itself.
