Advantages: It's Lego

Disadvantages: Few bricks, overpriced

The Lego Coast Guard Kayak is a total waste of money. You spend in the region of £10 (on places like Amazon, it might be cheaper if you can find it in an actual bricks-and-mortar shop), and recieve about 10 pieces and a minifigure.

The actual kayak is made of 9 parts, 2 making the sloped base, the 4 triangular orange bits, a flat-topped orange bit that goes behind the figure, and 2 white flat parts holding the 2 ends together. You also get an oar, and a handful of other pieces to let you make a small floating bouy type thing with a flag on it.

All the parts are, as can be expected from Lego, well moulded and fit together well, but this set is incredibly small for the money. The only real saving grace with this set, other than being able to use the bricks with your other Lego is the figure. Not only does it come with a lifejacket and one of the new-style helmets, but you also get a very characterful head. Gone are the days when every figure looked the same, this little guy's got a great little scowl on his face, and with his sunglasses on, he's full of attitude.

And if you buy this, you'll have a scowl as well when you consider the £ to brick ratio.

Summary: Too much money for not enough bricks.
