The house IS Magical!
on June 29, 2024
Posted by: HeavyTurtle035
Just like Disney itself, Lego brought to life this house to include magic! The colors, the characters, it's simply gorgeous. I expect kids will have a lot of creative play time with it. I have it on display in my office. Simply well done and so much fun to build!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Huge Improvement!
on July 10, 2024
Posted by: HTomas
I am obsessed with Encanto and try to collect everything I can from it. When the original round of Lego sets for the movie came out I got them, and the Casita set that was originally produced had a lot to be desired, from structure to lack of character minifigs. Fast forward three years and with the release of this new set, I am in AWE of how much of an improvement it is. Not only is it more sturdy than the original, the huge expansion to the family is perfect! While I would have loved to have the rest of the adults outside of Abuela, especially Bruno, finally having all the kids is much better in rounding out the ensemble! Everything just feels so much more cute from the design to the interactable elements!
There are still downsides, but they are much less impactful than with the original Casita set. When assembling each segment together it is tricky to get them to stay together, I constantly would place a piece on only to have it fall off if it got bumped slightly out of place while trying to press it into place. Even when fully assembled the top level pieces still have some instability. I can imagine this being frustrating in play, but not so much that it would ruin the play experience.
My set was also missing one of the small green three leaf pieces, which luckily I had an extra of that piece leftover from Isabela's flowerpot I was able to use, and even if I hadn't it at the very least wasn't a piece required for structural integrity, but it is still a rough oversight that if it had happened to a kid who didn't collect every set and happen to already have an extra, it would have been devastating to get so far into the set only to be missing a piece (this was on manual 7 out of 9). Final issue may just be a me problem, but because I challenge myself by having all bags open at once rather than opening bag by bag (specifically because it helps me space out my building time so I don't do it all in one day) there were a lot of pieces that were too similarly colored on the instruction booklet and I had to keep going back to fix when I realized my mistake. Even now I still can't figure out which lamps the two sparkly transparent yellow pieces belong to versus the 4 regular transparent yellow lamp pieces and had to make an estimated guess. Lego has always had this issue when it comes to the instruction booklets making the colors look always so much darker or lighter than they actually are with inconsistency between them, but for a set where there are so many pieces that use different variants of pink and orange for pieces with the same mold, it can be especially frustrating to differentiate which one the manual is asking you to use at that moment. It may be easier if you do it as intended building bag by bag, but I can't say for certain.
Overall, the set is super cute, and the few negatives there are aren't so distracting that it ruins the build experience. It is great being able to display both Casita sets next to each other and see the differences. Definitely worth the cost and I would recommend to anyone who also loves Lego and Encanto!

Fun to build, fun to play with
on January 4, 2025
Posted by: thecheapsubscriber_9388
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super cool toy that can be fun both for Encanto fans but also for someone that never saw the movie. The set comes split into 14 bags, with instructions broken down by rooms - so after you’re done with one of the booklets, this means you have one complete room of the house. I love how it looks like the front of the Madrigal house in one side and how you can actually play with the house on the reverse side - with the little rooms and characters for pretend play. I see this as at least two toys in one - there’s the building part of it, and then there’s the pretend play part that comes from using it as a doll house after you’re done building. My kids were obsessed with it for the second use. And I had fun putting it all together for them. So in the end everyone had fun with this set. There’s a lot of small moving parts - from doors and windows that open to shingles that move - which makes it extra fun to play with. The overall build seems to be very sturdy to play with, and kids can also make new creations with the pieces.

We love these Disney Lego sets!
on January 5, 2025
Posted by: alixzandrahm_634
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are loving how Lego is branching out to include their favorite movies and characters. This Disney set is smaller than you’d anticipate but still a great product. It comes with multiple labeled bags and thorough instructions my 7&9 year old can easily follow. Tons of small parts so not safe for younger kids.

Missing bruno
on March 10, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
How can you make this set without Bruno? We make sets to play with our kids-how is there not a main key character included? Would have returned if I have noticed this before beginning to build.

Incredibly fun to build!
on January 5, 2025
Posted by: yoannyc_8219
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It looks like the exact Magical Madrigal House from the movie! My daughter and I spent some fun time together building the house. The pieces fit together perfectly of course because they are durable and quality Lego products. With 1560 small pieces it is recommended for kids 7 and above. Once it is built it is a beautiful decorative addition to my daughters room that she can also play with. It has moving interactive parts such as the roof, windows, and doors just like in the movie.

Great set!
on December 31, 2024
Posted by: java510_3362
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set was really fun to build and really fun to look at. There are even parts that you can move that make it feel like it’s straight from the movie. It’s an awesome set for anyone who loves Encanto! The instructions were easy to follow and it’s a really fun to set that transports you to the movie :)
