A henhouse for ten bucks that comes with a farmer, a working egg-collection mechanic, and actual chickens — City doing exactly what City should do.

The Full Take
The Chicken Henhouse is City at its bread-and-butter best: a tight little scene that commits to its bit. One farmer, a handful of hens, and a clever egg-rolling detail make this feel more complete than a lot of sets twice the price. At $9.99 it's the kind of impulse buy that rarely disappoints — you get a tidy vignette, a useful minifig, and a build that doesn't outstay its welcome. It won't anchor a shelf or anchor a portfolio, but as a city scene filler or a first LEGO® experience it punches well above its price tag. The B grade fits: nothing groundbreaking, everything functional, zero regrets.
