Brick Buzz
The reviews for the Extra DOTS – Series 6 (41946) set have been quite mixed. One review from chief7575 mentioned, “Picked up 5 packs of the newest line of DOTS, series 6 recently. I think this is the weakest entry into the line so far.” The reviewer highlighted some pros like the decorated faces/symbols/prints on the tiles, but also pointed out cons such as the repetitive charms and difficulties in connecting them. On the other hand, graymattr expressed, “This set has a number of really creative printed dots.” They appreciated the new lightning and heart shaped charms and the trans-fluorescent green quarter circles, recommending the set to AFOLs who enjoy the printed faces and details that come in the Dots sets but also to girls for the charms.
