Este set continua "querido" como os anteriores da série, com cores agradáveis mas, no entanto, com uma construção aparentemente simples, apesar de andar intrigado com a forma como colocaram a entrada do edifício na diagonal. O autocarro está bem na linha de outros veículos presentes nos conjuntos mais antigos da série.

Nunca tive nem nunca construí qualquer conjunto desta série, mas isso não me impede de a olhar com agrado e respeito e adorar o facto da LEGO ser fiel aos seus lançamentos anuais.
