My thoughts on the January 2023 City sets…
I’m a little underwhelmed. Granted, AFOLs are not the target audience for this theme, but there is nothing inspirational here for city builders. We’ve seen variations of all these sets before. It’s nice that a number of the sets come at a lower price point. However, I don’t feel that the sheer number of them was necessary. Even though LEGO® sets went through a price hike, I still want more quality and detail. With that said, the January 2023 City sets offer a number of interesting Minifigure pieces and accessories. First and foremost, the first ever LEGO® otters. What do you think of this wave? Reach out in the comments below or on social media.
Until next time,
