Pretty Easter Egg

I enjoyed putting this Easter Egg together and am happy with the finished product. I did have to take off one side and the bottom in order to complete step 33, but after that I encountered no issues. I appreciate all the extra pieces included to change the look of the design if desired.
I don’t know if the side plates are not uniform, I can only get either the top or bottom to attach, and when I put even a little pressure on it the whole build collapses. So frustrated I put it in a ziplock bag back in the box. Will get some other plates at some point and see if I can make it work.
I absolutely love this egg, and bought mussels for me and my kids, but unfortunately I had to drop a star, because each set was missing at least one important piece. Luckily Lego fixes these mistakes easily, but now I have to wait for new pieces to come in the mail and they might not be here in time for Ostara.
I read someone described this as an "easy build" but I don't think that's 100% true. It's easy for an adult, but may be confusing for a child. My 6 year old son and I put this together, we're big into lego. I helped with main part of the egg, and my son decorated the sides with his own designs. He ended up adding robot legs to it and created an "egg mech" so definitely fun and let's them be creative!
We love Lego! Haven't built yet as we are giving to kids on vacation. I'm sure they will enjoy it. They are always making something with the Lego blocks.
