James Celebrates Sodor Day Reviews
“The LEGO Duplo set 5547, "James Celebrates Sodor Day," includes the engine James, recognizable by his shiny red finish and number 5, along with his tender. The set also features Sir Topham Hatt, the railway controller, standing on a platform adorned with flags and a special... More 2x4 brick. A unique addition is a monument reminiscent of a structure from a video game, along with a train station facade featuring a printed piece for the station windows. Despite the thematic elements celebrating Sodor Day, the set comprises only 34 pieces and includes just one minifigure, Sir Topham Hatt, without any tracks or additional characters, which limits the playability without integrating other Thomas and Friends sets.”
