REVIEW: 40578 Sandwich Shop

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on the LEGO City 40578 Sandwich Shop:

THE GOOD:

• Looks great.
• The sandwich sign build.
• Delivery back pack also great simple build.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Can't find any.

I like this set more than I expected.  This is actually a very nice sandwich shop.  The build and colouring are both outstanding for this size of set.  Now interior may be lacking but there are enough space for you to add more details.  I like the fact they use green mostly and you suddenly can relate this to UBER EATS and Subway. I really like the sandwich logo/sign build and also the delivery backpack looks really.  Nothing really bad about this set and I hope this set will become available outside EU and ASPAC soon.  Having said that, although this is a nice GWP and is a great extra if you have something you need to buy to reach the threshold, otherwise this set can be easily built with any spare parts you have.  Don't think this GWP is great enough to justify getting past the threshold for the sake of it =)

OMG!!!! I loved this set. The VIP promotion is unfortunately the only way to get one for those who want it badly. Personally, I kinda cheated and ordered mine off the internet. Got in for $30 USD. It firs right in my town too. My favorite part is the little drive thru with the teller machine. I can also fit a four stud wide car there.

Looks like a great set, a shame though that it's not something you can just go out and purchase.

Ebay has a few on sale.

Of course, but I'd like if we got more stuff like this that isn't GWP, can't think of the last time we got a food place from City (I'm sure we have, but I can't remember one in recent memory)

Assuming, you mean stationary eateries, I'd say the 60292 had a pizzeria. That set is still on shelves. That same year, a small bakery was in 60306 Shopping Street. But if you mean food places in general, Lego did release the 60347 Grocery Store this year.

Yeah but the shipping “fee” is absurd like $12 while  the responsible price is, let’s say, between $15 - $25.

Anyways, this sandwich vehcile looks very neat!

$30USD ... I wonder when it will be a promo in North America.

Yea, I missed some of the cool small sets because of them being a promotion.

You guys should be able to build this from regular current bricks'n'plates - or is there any special part in this set that I am missing here? The bike? The stickers, maybe. But other than that?

Just curious.

Have fun,
