Missing Several Pieces

Verified Purchase:No
There have been sets that I’ve built that have had a piece or two missing in the past, but this one is a little ridiculous. My build has come to a complete standstill because I don’t have the parts to build the base for structure 5. Not to mention missing parts to finish structure 3. I’m sure plenty of others have had much better luck with their sets, but I can’t in good conscience recommend spending money on this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know, we can imagine that must be frustrating. If you haven't already, do pick up your missing pieces via LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV. We hope the magic happens soon and you'll be back to building in no time!
This is the most boring, tedious, build I think I've ever been engaged in. Because they choose to start the build with totally unrecognizable buildings (the menagerie? the robe shop? really?), you're dealing all these little parts that don't resemble real world objects so there's never really a "oooh, a cool Easter egg" moment that makes anything youre doing revelatory. I just feel like I'm adding parts to a colorful tetris sculpture or something. It is NOTHING like other micro builds. Its not even interesting like the architecture builds are. And it is so low, its profile as "art" is nowhere near as striking as the two micro-Hogwarts builds. Im probably not going to get to the cool stuff because I'm already bored at bag 5 (the first instruction book and the first four buildings on the left of Gringotts). Ill probably pack everything else away and return to this some other time. Ugh. I had such hopes.
