Asha in the City of Rosas

"Asha in the City of Rosas lands in Mixed Reviews with a BrickScore of 64.2, with critics finding it too dependent on printed details to justify its $0.13 per piece price, while 600 owners, most of them Disney fans, rate it 4.69 out of 5 and return a 95% recommendation rate."

Asha in the City of Rosas (43223) earns a BrickScore of 64.2 in the Mixed Reviews tier, with expert criticism centering on the set's heavy reliance on printed pieces and stickers for visual interest rather than inventive brick-building. Brickset considered it the least appealing of the three Wish sets and noted it would look disappointingly bland without its decorated elements, while acknowledging the charming architecture, exclusive Valentino figure, and reasonable price point. Owner ratings paint a more enthusiastic picture: 600 ratings average 4.69 out of 5, with 95% would-recommend and a value-for-money signal of 4.68 out of 5, suggesting children and fans of the film find the set highly satisfying.

Where they split: The split between the expert BrickScore of 64.2 and the owner average of 4.69 out of 5 is the clearest divergence here. Critics evaluate the set against the broader LEGO Friends and Disney line and find it underwhelming in build complexity and parts usage. Families and children who love the film characters rate it very highly. Brickset also found it clearly weaker than Asha's Cottage, a comparison not available to most buyers.
