Set Review: 7639 Camper

Well, here it is, just like I promised yesterday. A set review. Yawn.

Today's set is number 7639 Camper. There's a link to it on yesterday's blog. Just looking at the box, it's a pretty nice looking camper.


If you are smart, like me, you'll realize it's a redo of Surf N' Sail Camper. Here's the picture.


So anyway, back to the review. The overview promises a small camper/R.V. with at least a chair inside besides the driver seat.


And, looking at the picture below, Lego didn't disappoint. Actually, they passed the standard. Two chairs!


The accessories are slightly lame. Two mugs. Bleh. A bike. Cool! A surfboard that I'm not excited about because I have no idea what to do with it. A pot. Bleh. And lastly, a fish on a glowy trans-red grill-tile. Really, Lego Company. I could do better. I would have at least made a decent grill!


Guy: (speaks in monotone voice) Wow, I never knew a fish on a glowy red thing could be so exciting.
Girl: (speaks in monotone voice) This is even better than the Fireplace channel!



I think this is supposed to be some sort of bed. I'm not sure, but the girl figure can't fit in it because of her awesome hair.



At least they added a ladder on the back.

My rating of this set:
7/10 for pieces
10/10 for playability
10/10 for minifigures
4/10 for vehicle itself
5/10 for acessories

All in all... 8/10. A pretty good set, but obviously more geared towards children under 10. Well, that's all for today. I'm off to modify the set and listen to some Gorillaz.

Ciao!
