Not a lot to say about 2x base plates so I'll keep this review brief and to the point!
The "build" quality is to the usual high standard that you would expect from the ever-green LEGO brand, so no problems there (I recall as a child my brother and I managed to bend a base plate and damage it beyond repair... but I think we were non-typical and overly-aggressive kids when it came to toy abuse..!)
Personally, I'd have liked to have seen more than the one colour on the base pieces - they are literally just white ink on the grey plastic (a dash of yellow for example would have made them more "realistic", but never mind..)
My key issue with this particular set is the limited number of LEGO "studs" present on each base piece - and in particular the "crossroads" board (which has hardly any at all). Now, due to the nature of such a junction there can never be many I guess... but even so I think these would be better value (and more versatile..) if the "road" parts were narrower - allowing for more "studs" (to connect LEGO people and bricks to..) either side.
So only three stars I'm afraid. Finally, despite there being TWO bases in these packs, I don't find it particularly good value either - but at least amazon's free P+P was there to soften the blow..
Summary: Pretty much an essential purchase for any LEGO city project... but a little lacking overall.

My 7yo and 4yo boys love these. They build vehicles to go on the roads and buildings to go besides them.
Be warned though -- there is more road than nobble-bits, which makes them quite bad value, AND ALSO INCOMPATIBLE with older lego road bits (from the ?seventies) which have narrower road track. (Not that the boys care, but it bugs me!) Also, they are quite compulsive, you need a dozen or so to set out a reasonable track, and that would cost a small fortune!

My son spent his pocket money on these roads, and waited eagerly for them. When they did arrive, he was a little upset that there wasn't enough space to put buildings and have a thin pavement. They were £7.80 when he bought them, and he feels not worth any more than that.

son loves these but did think they were way over priced for what they are, could lower the price so kids could make a tidy road way out of them, but arrived early and son was happy... Read more

Always good quality.
Although i was more than happy with the quality of this product, i did find it a little pricy and cant believe that these flat pieces are never included in other boxes.

Overpriced!
The roads are really nice, perfect addition to almost any Lego set, but for such a small thing, it costs such a large amount of money for just the two roads. Read more

good toy
Although a good number of boards are needed to create a decent layout for a town, they can be used to create own design buildings. Read more
