Dried Flower Centerpiece

The centerpiece is cute for the holidays but assembling was difficult. Adding the leaves on would cause something else to fall off since there was no good place to grip onto.
Christmas Table Decoration

It ended up being smaller than expected, smaller than a normal candle, scaling was on par with other sets with similar pirces. Fun to build, good decoration.

It has a working knob that controls a speaker inside. I love the cute design mixed with some technic parts. Handle actually supports its' weight which I wasn't expecting.
Tales of the Space Age

Each panel being the same started to feel repetitive, but the differing designs made it a fun build. Pretty to have sitting up.
Bonsai Tree

The wood table it sits on had good grip so it never slid. If it did fall (happened a lot for me) it broke into every single piece. I gave up on trying to keep it intact. Pretty decor, but keep somewhere it will never get touched.

He's a lot bigger than I thought, so stinkin' cute. Head moves 360 degrees and both legs move. Arms interchangable. It was a mindless and fun build. I would 100% build it again.
Viking Village

The buildings were detailed and cool. Getting the bases together and staying was hard until more bricks kept them together. All buildings were unique. Each built different. My only issue is finding the place to keep it. It's a huge piece length wise.
Wildflower Bouquet

Awful experience to build if you're someone who likes variety in pieces. Got this as a gift, after building the third flower the rest felt like a chore. If touched, the petals are guaranteed to fall off. Constant readjusting for the petals. At least easy to put back together.

Definitely my cutest piece. Pretty standard build. I was expecting it to be more engaging for the price point, its priced between the small sets they sell and average sized ones. Only took about 20-30 minutes to get it fully together.
Gremlins: Gizmo

I'm biased because this was one of my favorite childhood movies. Absolutely adorable, kept on my shelf. You can choose for him to stand or sit but sitting is ideal for storage, he's too top-heavy. Glasses aren't wearable but I can look past it. He is poseable.

Cheap set and worth the money. Only took about 15 minutes to put together but all limbs move and makes it easier for display. A small set that's actually worth their "small" price point.
'Up' House

As exciting as I thought it would be. Small scaled but not any less detailed. Fully furnished. Pieces break off semi-easily so just caution when moving.
About Me
I love building.
Hello, I am Ash. With interesting spending habits and hobbies, I have spent hundreds of dollars on legos. I don't want to even think of doing the math. I went the standard route of buying what looked cute and seeing if I had wasted my money or if it was an enjoyable experience. With Lego's higher price point for their product, it becomes a point of "Will I regret buying this when I go to build it?" This website was made to help with that. I'm personally tired of watching 5 different videos and debating which one is more trust worthy or which one is a paid ad. So why not say my opinions here? I have (mostly) unbiased opinions and I'm definitely not getting paid. These are all my regrets and would purchase/build again sets.
