Review of LEGO Set 43173 Aurora’s Roya Carriage

For those unfamiliar with her name, this is Sleeping Beauty. I don’t remember the story well enough to even know if she has a carriage in the movie. Guess that is what Disney+ is for.

Not being a fan of the “girls” line because LEGO has always been a gender neutral toy and those minidolls are hideous, sometimes I find myself picking up a Friends or Disney set despite that hatred because I find the parts interesting.

The gold parts, flowers, and the owl got me to pick up this $10 set. (Because I couldn’t get the owl on Brick and Pieces and did not want to py shipping for just the owl from a Bricklink seller. )

While most of my minidolls are languishing bald in a box somewhere, Aurora may stay intact. That is unless I find a use for her hair elsewhere.

I only wish the parts of the minidolls were more in system like a standard minifig. Her dress could be used for something else but the top connection doesn’t work with anything other than a minidoll torso.

So what is the reasoning LEGO has a small table, tea cup, and cake with a carriage set? I don’t know! Perhaps the owl is hungry?

Overall not a bad little set even with my personal objections to it.

I had to take the carriage out for a spin. Why not it is a magical, horseless carriage after all.

LEGO Friends Polybag Set 30412

I am not a fan of the Friends line nor of the minidolls that come in them, but this little set has a bunch of goodness in it so I picked it up.

Come on two birds! A hotdog, bike and beverage. Any minifig would be set for an outing with this set.

A small picnic under a tree or on a park bench.

Overall a nice little build. Just wish it was a city theme and not Friends as this is a total waste of a minidoll for me.

I will keep the hair, but what to do with the rest of the weird figure?

WotNo! Clutch is missing

WotNo! asks “what no clutch here”?!

There is clutch on the top, bottom, inside, and front part of these new pods but this point lacks any clutch at all.

But why?
