⚖ Compare Similar Sets

Compared to standard building sets in the same price range, 72164 trades a higher piece count for active electronic functionality via the SMART Play system. While traditional sets offer more bricks for your buck, this set directly competes with interactive toy lines by providing out-of-the-box lights and sounds.
