I picked up the mall and filmed the first 1/3 of the build to review, and this really stood out to me, too. The shops are so tiny that they aren’t really playable. It doesn’t bother me as an AFOL, but if I were a kid, I would be really frustrated. Each little shop reminds me of the Friends Play Cubes, but with those, you can open them up and have access to them.
Besides that, I’m pretty neutral so far. The stickers are cute, but I also hate that there are so many stickers. I like the mini doll family, though!
