Super Cute!

This set is absolutely adorable! The finished model is super cute and captures Simbas personality perfectly. It was a fun and relaxing build with clear instructions and some interesting techniques that kept the assembly enjoyable from start to finish. The finished model looks great on display and makes me smile!
This Simba LEGO set is honestly a waste of money. What should have been a fun, relaxing build turned into a frustrating, stop-and-go mess because multiple bags were missing pieces. Not just one, multiple. For a brand that prides itself on quality, this is embarrassing.
The worst part? Once you hit a missing piece, you’re completely stuck. You can’t move forward, so the entire set just sits there unfinished. And don’t expect a quick fix, LEGO takes over a month to send replacements. By then, the excitement is long gone and you’re left with an overpriced pile of incomplete plastic.
At this price point, there is absolutely no excuse for such poor quality control. It feels like they’re charging premium prices while cutting corners behind the scenes.
Do yourself a favor: skip this set. And if you already bought it, return it immediately before you’re stuck waiting weeks just to finish something that should’ve been right the first time.
This is like a new born baby. The head snaps back and to the side. No support.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!
Simba turned out fantastic! The only issue I had is that the tail doesn’t want to stay in place. It falls off when Simba is picked up. Outside of that, it is definitely worth getting because it is a great one to build and have in your collection!
It was a great lego set, my husband got it for my birthday and I’m in love. What we had learn it’s to not do it all at once so we have more time and days to finished or it would be put it together quick.
My son built this and was so proud of himself only to have the head fall off and have to rebuild it multiple times by the 4th rebuild he was crying because he was so upset. I rebuilt it and also can’t get the head to securely attach. In researching this I’m seeing this is a common issue even happening to multiple displays. Very disappointing
