It was a nice set to start with. I really loved the details around the set. However, there were way too many missing pieces for this new set and I found some random pieces which I never got to use instead, which prevented me from making any further progress. It was a bit disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear about that. It's rare for LEGO® pieces to break during normal play, and we're here to help if it does. If you haven't already, visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to request a replacement piece free of charge!
Great set. Fun details. Love the bones in the basement and cheese in the mouse house. I have grown weary of the missing or incorrect pieces. I appreciate that there are thousands of pieces in the set but to miss a set of mini figure legs and send a green cone in it stead. A unique figure for certain, but not what I paid for and again I will wait to finish this one. So many of my larger sets of late have missing pieces. I would argue poor quality but what I get fits together as it should. Careless packaging maybe. Still frustrating for the price paid and the reason behind the purchase, gift giving. Here, enjoy this Lego set, I hope All the pieces are there
