Like many people, I have not written a review before. This build has been a frustrating nightmare. Between steps 7 and 8, I gave up. Many pieces would not stay put. Additionally, the set says 2024, but there is no QR code on the instructions and the set has a copyright date inside of 2017, which would explain the lack of QR code. I finished 2 of the poinsettias and they were a dream build. I have built many sets and this is the first one I am flat-out abandoning. Unbelievably frustrating.
I'm normally a pretty big fan of Lego products. This one was disappointing because of how fragile it is throughout the building process and then once it is completed. Quite a few bits and pieces tend to fall off if touched slightly- and then it can be tricky to reattach those parts without accidentally detaching other parts.
Once finished, it remains pretty fragile. Anytime it is moved it seems like a piece or two falls off- again requiring some really delicate hands to reattach without causing other parts to come off.
It does look pretty nice once it is built- you just can't touch it.
The build was repetitive and not very fun; the “flame” on top is silly small and what is with the teal base? The base couldn’t be more “Christmas”? Maybe black or white?
Some of the instructions were confusing, but the build was mainly easy. Some parts were difficult to put into the correct spot. It took me about 2 hours to build it. Would be nice if the candle could be battery powered to turn on. I received compliments on how pretty it is.
