At a certain point the legs kept falling off and and arms too. Not the most sturdy build.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your set staying together. If you’d like help reviewing the build or if some pieces don’t seem to fit as securely as they should, please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV and our team will be happy to assist.
This is a super basic build that falls apart from the slightest nudge. I didn't pay full price and still sort of regret buying it. Not worth the price tag. I've built 6+ years old sets that were more entertaining.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry that your new set isn't holding together as it should. We understand how frustrating that can be. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting, please give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
I was excited that LEGO had attained the right to make sets for Pokémon because of the wealth of material they had to work with. But my excitement dropped even time I had to put the eyes or arms or legs or tail back together. The Pikachu assembly itself was extremely fragile with large pieces being held on by a single attachment point. I was so happy when the Pikachu was done so I could set it on the other side of the room (gently) and work on the sturdier base. I will say out of hundreds of sets I’ve built it’s one of very few with this issue.

Thank you for sharing your building experience! If you would revisit your build, we'd suggest double checking it as there may be a piece slightly off from where it should be. Please make sure all pieces are tightly pressed together. It makes all the difference! Reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help Pikachu get back to being battle ready!
I really enjoyed building this set, however I did think there were some design flaws. It was a pain to have to balance Pikachu when the stand was not built until after. When assembling the full body, the back, neck and feet came off and had to be re-assembled. The toes were not too stable either which I was not a fan of.
I am a huge Lego and pokemon fan so I was extremely excited to see Lego gain the rights to make these sets. Unfortunately, the execution is lacking. The build doesn’t feel solid and the various pieces keep coming apart. I’m afraid to sneeze near the completed build for fear that things will just pop off. A number of bricks are held in with one or two studs contributing to the models weakness. I’d recommend building and putting it in a case shielded away from anything that may shake it or jostle it. Lego may have missed the mark here - I’m worried about the larger, more expensive kit now.
