Review of 41682 Heartlake City School

“I miss school”

This is a moderate set of a school with a basketball hoop. This set is priced at £59.99 with a parts count of 605 pieces alongside with 3 Minidolls and 1 bicycle. Let’s see what’s inside this set.

The front of the box features a very nice school facade with Heartlake City in the background.

The back of the box shows us the interior of the set with 6 distinct compartments which comprises of a science lab, a toilet, art room, music room, the hallway and a kitchen.

Sticker sheet. Perhaps sticker number 1 should’ve been printed?

A closer look at this gem in the night. 6341822 Minifigure, Shield Triangular, Glow In Dark White is exclusive to this set. I really love the glow and if you zoom in on this picture, it’s as if you can see the stars..

The handle of the shield also glows in the dark and I think this might be the very reason for any Glow in the Dark(gitd) fans to get this set.

3846pb37 Minifigure, Shield Triangular with Silver Studs and Diamonds and Mud Spots Pattern is NOT in this set and is for comparison only. One little detail that I noticed was the embossed wordings on the grey shield. Why is it empty on the Glow in the dark shields? Is it the material used preventing the embossed words? Fragility? Let us know in the comments if you know!

Science lab and the toilet. I love the small and cute microscope build and the lab coat sticker’s placement was spot on! The toilet bowl build is also very nice and accurate which only occupies a 3×3 footprint while conveying a tank, a bowl and even a toilet roll holder.

Art room. It’s obviously “Still life” day with the Pineapple being the model of the day. 6055385 Minifigure, Head without Face Pineapple Pattern – Hollow Stud
It’s a surprise that they used a sticker to represent the colour palette when there is an existing printed mold that they could have used.

The music room. The keyboard minibuild is so cute!

Trophies in the hallway.

A water sink in the hallway, or is it the drinking water machine?

The kitchen. The sandwich build is cute with a leaf element used to represent the cabbage/lettuce leaves that protrudes out from the bun.

Julian. A male minidoll wearing a sweater and a pair of spectacles. Err is that Superman’s hairstyle?

Olivia. She looks like an art graduate in this school with a graduation hat printed on her blazer.

Marisa. She looks like a parent who brings her son’s forgotten laptop to school to save the day.

The interiors are so nicely designed and they looked neat like this.

Seriously, I miss school now. I really do love the mini basketball court.

Verdict

I give this set a 4.8/5.0 score. The architectural style of the building is nice for the exterior and the interiors are neatly done. However I love the fact that LEGO generously gives quite a few exclusive parts in this set especially the glow in the dark shield. This set is priced at £59.99 with a parts count of 605 pieces alongside with 3 Minidolls and 1 bicycle. This is a worthy set for a nice facade and those special parts.

Hope you enjoyed my review. Thank you!
