The Full Take
'City: Let's Fly' is a book companion set, and that context does most of the explaining. You get a small plane build, one minifig, and 28 pieces — enough to complement a read-along but not enough to stand on its own merits. The build is simple by any measure, the shelf presence is minimal, and the play window is narrow. It's not a bad product for what it is; it's just a very small thing priced like a very small thing. Parents looking for a low-stakes gift to pair with the book will find it perfectly adequate. Everyone else will find it perfectly skippable.
