Olaf and Bruni's Picnic Fun

"Scoring a BrickScore of 65.8, Olaf and Bruni's Picnic Fun wins over Frozen fans with its sticker-free printing, improved characters, and family-friendly build — but expert reviewers temper the enthusiasm with valid concerns about its €49.99 price tag and modest building complexity."

Reviewers — from enthusiastic LEGO.com buyers to expert critics — broadly agree that 43287 Olaf and Bruni's Picnic Fun is a charming, well-executed Frozen set that delivers a meaningfully improved Olaf buildable character over the 2019 version (41169). The sticker-free, all-printed presentation and collaborative three-manual build structure are consistently praised. The main expert-level tension is over price: at €49.99 the set feels like a premium ask for a kid-centric theme with relatively simple techniques. Buyer reviews are overwhelmingly positive, celebrating the cute finished model, easy instructions, and its appeal to Frozen fans of all ages.

Where they split: Buyer reviews are uniformly glowing (all 5-star), while expert reviewers are more measured — Hoth Bricks gave it 72/100 and Bouwsteentjes 60/100, with the latter recommending waiting rather than buying at full price. The split is largely around value and building complexity: buyers focus on the fun and the Frozen theme; experts scrutinize design compromises (gray ball joints, simplified geometry) and price justification.
