Fun display set
on July 2, 2021
Posted by: QueenMuddyOnion
I was really excited to purchase this set. I love the monochrome minifigures and for me this set was worth purchasing for those alone. The basic build is not super exciting as it is repetative, however, as you can see from my picture I decided to mod the set a bit with pieces I had on hand. This made the set a fun personalized display piece. But I think even without these changes it is a nice display set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great in so many ways!

I love monochrome figs and builds for some reason so I was obviously so exited to get this set. But I also loved how much my son loved this set too! He is 4 and it made it so so easy to explain LGBTQ to him!! We married them all off in pairs. Pink and green were a couple and blues were a couple. He didn’t know if yellow was a boy or girl but I explained that gender is not what is important about them! We made little houses for them and it was so fun and adorable and really helped me teach my son that everyone is awesome!!!

Love and Diversity

How can you not write an amazing review for this Lego set!!? It celebrates the LGBTQIA+ Community! Designer Ashton explains that the black and brown figures symbolize people of color, but the other rainbow hues also have meaning. We added in the pale blue, white, and pink to support and embrace the trans community"
The one thing I was wondering though was if any of the colors represent disabled people?

Being a senior gay man and a LEGO maniac, this is one of the more meaningful sets I’ve purchased. I’ve built more difficult sets, Colosseum, but this one is special.
I bought two and gave one to my boss and she loved it. I only wish I could buy more to give as gifts to other friends.

Terrible play value. Worst set I’ve ever seen. Even Galidor was better than this.

“Everyone Is Awesome” And An Awesome Set Too!
on June 23, 2021
Posted by: DisneylandToday
First forgive the length of my review. This set for me, is a very meaningful set. I have my own reasons which I will only say are not those of the “mainstream” populous. I hold them close to my heart and try to remember them at every opportunity which makes me a stronger individual in all my interactions with others throughout the day. Perhaps You’re wondering why I am telling you this? I mention it as it is important to remember that this design may have been created by a member of the LGBTA+ community and for sure has specific meaning for that group. For the designer and his community it represents a struggle fought for decades and continues to this day. The mini figs represent “differences” rather than those individuals with say that purple skin! In the same way there are many other people who are not necessarily represented such as those with disabilities etc. It is this unintentional ambiguity which allows it to be so very meaningful to so many “different” humans the world over!
As far as the set goes it is well constructed and very easy to assemble. It does as others have mentioned have the 18+ moniker which will allow a parent to look it over before passing it to the child and decide if a discussion should be included that might benefit said child. I also understand that believe it or not, there are countries that would not allow the set to be sold without it. I don’t know for sure but my guess is that for consistency as they have in all others, kept it at 18+ around the world. Perhaps some cynics might say it was for monetary gain to allow more sales but I prefer to have “my glass half full” rather than “half empty” and believe it was for the terrific messages that are possible and so badly needed in this era. Enjoy it!
