I pre ordered this because I love dogs, t he build kind of looked like my dog, who is a cocker spaniel and I saw a lot of play potential for not only me, but my granddaughter as well. The interior build and all over design are super clever. I really appreciate good design. I loved the Easter eggs in the build as well. My Lego puppy’s name Poppy and she’s already getting into trouble!
My partner wanted this, and when compared to the cat model, its so much more jagged and rough around the edges. Even the 3 in 1 model dog set, although far less intricate, looks more smooth. The size is great but the cat feels far more sleek and sophisticated in its appearance and overall quality.
This is obviously a yellow lab and not a golden retriever. Even the realistic photo swap includes a lab not a golden. Either Lego doesn't know dog breeds or that was a silly marketing choice?
This Lego was a joy to assemble. So many fun hidden pieces (that shopping list in the tummy is so accurate), & I adore the ways all the moving pieces change the pup's expressions.
