"With a BrickScore of 76.5 and unanimous buy recommendations across both reviews, Yoshis' Egg-cellent Forest is a compact overachiever — its $9.99 price tag, exclusive printed egg, and dual Yoshi variants make it an easy pickup for Super Mario fans and collectors alike."
Both reviewers agree that 71428 Yoshis' Egg-cellent Forest punches well above its weight for a ~$10 set, delivering two exclusive Yoshi color variants (pink and yellow) and a charming printed egg element in a compact, affordable package. The build is acknowledged as small and simple — borderline polybag territory — but neither reviewer holds that against it given the price. Value for money is the set's clear standout, and both recommend it as a buy, particularly for Super Mario collectors.
Where they split: Minor scoring gap on playability (Brick Fanatics: 50 vs. BricksFanz: 70) and minifigures (Brick Fanatics: 70 vs. BricksFanz: 85), but both land on the same overall verdict and recommendation. No meaningful disagreement on the core assessment.
