REVIEW: Ideas 21338 A-Frame Cabin

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 2023 LEGO Ideas 21338 A-Frame Cabin:

THE GOOD:

• Looks amazing.
• Tons of interior details.
• Great building experience.
• Including new 2023 hair piece and lots of animals.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• There is a visible gap between the roofs but I believe this is depended on individual bricks quality.

This is a great set.  The look, the interiors, the building experience are all top notch.  As many have pointed out before, the use of Thor's hammer just brilliant.  Having different levels to put the tiles on to give it more textures is also great.  It's not just about the exterior, the interior is packed with details too.  I was so happy to see the Ideas Tree House in brick built miniature form.  Yes, toilet is missing but hey, if you notice the toilet paper outside, then you know how the visitors going to take a dump =P.  This sets also come with great parts, lots of animals, unique printed tiles and a new 2023 hair piece.  There are opinions of the trees look a bit too empty, in my view, the balance just right.  The actual thing looks better than in photos and having additional foliages could increase repetitiveness in the building experience.  On top of that, you can freely rearrange the side builds as well.  One thing to note though, my copy did have a visible gap between the roofs, but I think it is more to do with the individual quality than overall problem with the design.  At $300NZD, it is in fact on the more affordable side considering most other D2C sets are so expensive.  This is is excellent, I had a great time and a definitely recommended for everyone.
