jtooker Posted January 16, 2022 Some interesting parts for me as someone waiting on their copy to be shipped: You will have extra pieces from earlier bags that are used later Instructions are not always the clearest but also have very few pieces per step (and are online only); some small mistakes Lack of piece inventory in the instructions PDF Not as stable as a normal set The video is fairly negative and I think the comparison to 450₤ is a bit unfair - I'm sure those willing to pay that much have already made their decision. But the good parts mentioned (I'll add a few of my own): Looks fabulous Play features are great - especially moving parts & access to interior 6 minifigures Very detailed inside and out Part count is good for the original price While stickers suck, designers were not allowed to create/revive new prints.

krtwood Posted January 18, 2022 Official sets do the pieces in a bag not used until a later step thing too. The shuttle 10283 has some parts in one of first bags used for the Hubble that don't get used until way later in the build. It would be nice if they did something to actually indicate those parts are supposed to be left over at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Follows Closely Posted March 31, 2022 I just bricklinked 548 pieces (173 elements) costing me $140 shipped. I spent $48 less by "Part out as individual parts" on the minifigs, which is usually the case on bricklink. The rest of the pieces I pulled from my collection. I am looking forward to this build. @krtwood, thanks for the effort you put into this set, the final product looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore, Im sending you the stickers in Castle in the Forest 910001 set this once as exception. :) This order number is 3014035227.

GeoBrick Posted April 7, 2022 Looks like you're off pretty cheap by bricklinking the set. Good for you. I was in luck that due to the ordering mishap I didn't have to pay €10 extra because of the region I live in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted April 26, 2022 I absolutely hated having to use the App to build this. It’s a fun set for sure, but like others have said, a bit fragile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I opened my set in March, my stickers were folded over (they'd managed to get folded over the lip of the box) and customer service sent me back a "sorry, no extra stickers available, but here are some VIP points" message. I thought I sent a nice request, but maybe not nice enough 3 hours ago, The Jersey Brick Guy said: I absolutely hated having to use the App to build this. It’s a fun set for sure, but like others have said, a bit fragile. The app was awful for this set, but using PDF instructions wasn't too bad. Much faster to flip pages/instructions.

Follows Closely Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) ^ I got an email saying I would get the stickers, but the sticker sheet ever arrived. I also used the pdf to build. It was doable, but I much prefer paper instructions. Edited April 26, 2022 by Follows Closely added thoughts on instructions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
