Bygge Hygge, or “build cozy” is the theme and accompanying Ad campaign for this set when it was released in early 2023. Resembling a modern cabin tucked into a sleepy wooded landscape, this set includes all the hallmarks of a cabin getaway like sipping hot cocoa, photographing birds, playing the guitar, and even canoeing. The minifig crew of 4, various camping and leisure accoutrement, canoe, and wildlife guarantees a wide range of play for any owner.

I gave this set full points for Design and Playability. The visual details are limitless and follow the set in a full 360 spin. The front of the cabin is inviting and beautiful, the roof and sides feature 4 frame windows on 2 stories with wood grain lintels, and the rear depicts the stove pipe as it exits the cabin and an outdoor shower. Dynamic fields of play are offered with accompanying gadgets like type writer, high resolution camera, canoe with paddles and life jackets, vinyl records, acoustic guitar and tea kettle.

There was an opportunity for this set to score higher in Build and Cost but some of the elements felt simple, redundant, and in terms of price – wasteful. Anytime Lego builds trees, they are almost always repetitive and boring. While the changing colors of the leaves offer needed textures of greens, yellows and reds, 3 trees is too many. The roof builds were clones and had a lot of plain brown tiles which also felt repetitive and tedious. Eliminating some of these redundant elements allows for the opportunity of a lower price tag.

Buy this set if you are going on a cabin trip, or if you’re looking for something cozy to do on a rainy day.
