Brand Story By LEGO Review: Pricey, but works great - LEGO brand baseplates aren’t cheap, however, their quality is unmatched when compared to the knock-offs. This baseplate is larger than the typical baseplate, which can be both good and bad. If you are amassing a larger scene and you want to connect baseplates, this size can be problematic as it doesn’t cleanly fit next to the typical 10 x 10 baseplates. You’ll need to have a few 5 x 5 or 5 x 10 plates to make everything fit nicely. However, if you’re looking for an isolated single scene LEGO build, this plate is quite nice as it gives you more real estate to build. It really depends on what your goal is. As you can see in my images, I was able to make these larger plates fit within my LEGO city, and they’ve proven to be very useful as they provide lots of space with which to work. Overall, this baseplate is great, and you won’t find the same quality in the knock-off brands. Try to find this baseplate when it’s on sale in order to avoid the retail price of $15.

Review: Genuine, good price - This is a genuine LEGO item, and a good price for it. Nice and large, 15" (38cm) square. The neutral medium grey. Good baseplate for setting up dioramas. Good large play base for free-build. Thin so make sure that it is on a large enough hard surface for use. If you know a LEGO-maniac that needs a gift and doesn't have one, it may be an excellent choice.
