I absolutely LOVE LEGOs, but this set here is the worst set I have ever built. The instructions are not clear and the pieces WILL NOT stay together. I regret having purchased this set. I like the challenge of building large sets like Saturn V, ISS, space shuttle, and others. But I have never had the difficulties with all those put together like I have with this one.
This set has so many layers and was so fun to build. It looks simple, but it actually has tons of layers that made it really fun and complicated to build.
I'm normally a pretty big fan of Lego products. This one was disappointing because of how fragile it is throughout the building process and then once it is completed. Quite a few bits and pieces tend to fall off if touched slightly- and then it can be tricky to reattach those parts without accidentally detaching other parts.
Once finished, it remains pretty fragile. Anytime it is moved it seems like a piece or two falls off- again requiring some really delicate hands to reattach without causing other parts to come off.
It does look pretty nice once it is built- you just can't touch it.
Bought this for myself. With y son loving to do legos I figured that I would start getting some as decorations. I thought that this christmas decoration was adorable. However, pieces keep coming off and it is very difficult to put back together.
Found it hard in the beginning; while adding to the base, the parts I previously thought were in correctly kept falling off. Had to obtain help from my husband (also in his 80's).
The piece is beautiful and definitely worth the trouble!
Like many people, I have not written a review before. This build has been a frustrating nightmare. Between steps 7 and 8, I gave up. Many pieces would not stay put. Additionally, the set says 2024, but there is no QR code on the instructions and the set has a copyright date inside of 2017, which would explain the lack of QR code. I finished 2 of the poinsettias and they were a dream build. I have built many sets and this is the first one I am flat-out abandoning. Unbelievably frustrating.
