REVIEW: 77046 Julian's Birthday Party

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Animal Crossing 77046 Julian's Birthday Party:

THE GOOD:

• Cute birthday cake table.
• A mini cup cake build that captures the look & colour of the cup cake in game very well.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Least accurate depiction of the game play compared to other sets in this theme.
• Colour theme makes it incoherent when connected to other sets.

The smallest and cheapest from this wave, it's a great entry point to this wave but this is probably my least favourite from the 4 sets I have built currently.  Don't get me wrong, I like the set but it's the least accurate depiction of Animal Crossing New Horizons gameplay because birthday parties are held indoor in the game.  Put this aside, there are some very nice details in this like the birthday cake table and it also have a cup cake build that represents the look of the birthday cup cake you obtain in game very well.  This is also the only set so far comes with a cherry blossom tree, yes the tree build are the same across this wave but this one has a unique pink colour and a clip for the banners/decoration.  The base plates of this set also using a lighter green so it does not necessarily fit well with other sets when combined in terms of colours.  Having said that, Julian is another great Animal Crossing minifigure with some very nice printing on his torso.  I will definitely recommend this set if you are a completionist of the wave, otherwise I think might be great to spend this amount for other Animal Crossing to create your own big lego animal crossing island.
