Very Enjoyable

I really enjoyed the flow and build of this set. The bases for the Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard where just as fun as building the actual pokemon. The Blastoise teeth step was extremely frustrating but using a pair of pliers made it a lot easier. Really awesome display piece! Make sure to move it one piece at a time before setting it in its proper location!
The overall set is really well designed to look good and be fun to build. There are multiple sections on each build that do not stay together if trying to move the builds to any length. The mouth to venusaur falls off with any amount of touch and is a hassle to put back together. The toes of blastoise have fallen to every corner of my room. It is a fun build, but I needed to modify connections and to make the build stay together
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble keeping your set together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, please don't hesitate to reach out at LEGO.build/Service so we can help!
As someone who was 9 when this franchise debuted in the US I was thrilled to death when Lego announced this set. It's a very fun build with secrets and references throughout each Pokemon. You will definitely get the value for the price you pay and the fun you will have while building this set. The instructions weren't difficult to follow and how things came together was fun to see. It's very display worthy and you will be impressed with the size when you're done. If you're a Millennial with a credit card and a love for Gen 1 BUY THIS SET!
I really love the Pokemon builds. Charizard felt a little bit small to me, but still a terrific build. Building each creature was a unique and fun challenge. I just really wish the base hadn't been included, or at least hadn't been so big. It's basically half of the set. Still a great display piece for anyone who loves Pokemon and Lego!
