Is The LEGO Icons French Cafe Worth It?
Yesterday, LEGO announced a new Restaurants of the World subtheme for the LEGO Icons line with the first set being the French Cafe (10362). This new line of sets have a smaller form factor and the main focus is at the front of the shop. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of the interior and mainly, the back of the set.
Although it is hard to see in the official images, there is a very small interior, just enough to get some details in. On the backside, it’s pretty bad. Of course the images don’t show you the back but LEGO does provide a 360 degree shopper video of the set and you can see the emptiness when it spins around. There are some modified 1×1 bricks with holes so it makes me think that you’ll be able to connect future sets with bars so you won’t get the flat backside.
Even though the set is meant to be shown from the front, but is it worth $80? You probably get about a hundred or so pieces for the base and the rest for the French Cafe itself but the elephant in the room is that it feels incomplete with the flat back.
