This is one of mine best lego sets i have gotten. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who loves lego the set price is worth the time and fun that you can get out of it. It is one of my top 3 lego sets all time
I purchased this set for my wife, she loved the build, I had to help her a bit Bc she just started enjoying this hobby after watching me for years. This set wasn’t on my top 5 list to purchase but after seeing the end result I really happy I make the purchase
Honestly, remains a least favorite set. And often fantasize about getting rid of this lemming, to make room for new things.
Maybe just binning it, despite the outlandish cost & effort to order via website. Just to be free.
Didn't enjoy build much. Every brown piece looked the same in book. Used flashlight to see tone differences. Annoying.
Just changed the leaves for autumn. Still had to anchor twisting/falling branches, by attaching underneath platforms. Still can't put included characters anywhere around cabins, as platform scale = too narrow. Still can't put anyone to sleep, as beds are rounded, to accommodate stupid Easter eggs underneath, not flat.
That's what this set feels like..."let's cram in as many cute accessories as possible, with no regard to scale, usability, or meaning." Also, let's make the trunk into some artistic statement, with a technic-level stability build. Then plop cabins too small for play on top. And a bridge, without purpose or 1 single place to pose a Lego minifigure. Let them eat cake, in the picnic area below! From the wildly out-of-scale plate, etc. Or use the food crate winch, to haul fish & carrots directly into their toilet cabin!
Stream/water feature was a best part. Also, the bird/bird house. Plus some of the cabin accessories...dragonfly in a jar, microscope...too bad none of the characters/people operators actually can use these things comfortably. In the zany off-scale & frustrating universe which comprises Lego treehouse.
Overall: skip it. Buy a technic car & a bonsai tree. Smash them together. Probably, Lego minifigures will feel more @ home there. And you won't fight cabins randomly falling loose from trunk for no logical reason. Certainly, no one's playing with or touching this set....
I have pretty much built every set in the creator expert and ideas sections. For some reason, this is my personal favorite. Loved the build. Love the look.
Let me start out by saying that I found this set at a yard sale…yes a yard sale. Had never been opened. So to say I was excited is an understatement…and the price!! Wooooo!! But I would also pay full price for this set bc it is so worth it. It took me 3days, on and off, to build it. It is a fun build!!! It isn’t complicated, the instructions are easy to read and navigate, the pieces are awesome and the way it all goes together is awesome!!! It’s a beautiful set as well. I did the leaves a little different-I mixed them together-(it comes with 2 sets of leaves-green ones and autumn ones)-so I mixed them up and have a more ‘the leaves are changing’ aspect…it’s not really a ‘play’ set but my son has been playing with it somewhat, the best that he can. In my opinion it’s more of a display set. But if you have been thinking of buying this set, DO IT. You will not regret it!!!
