Kith Friends House Building Blocks Sets, Family Friends House Building Kit with Sports Car, Creative Roleplay Toy Birthday Gift for Kids Boys Girls Age 6-12 Years Old 1009 Pieces

The only draw back was that you had to open all the bags at one time and it was confusing to build. Number the bags with the books they go with would be ideal! Also not mixing pieces in wrong bags!

I bought this for my daughter who wanted a Lego house for her mini-figures to play in. In terms of the size and number of bricks it is great. It is bigger than the Lego Harry Potter Privet Drive (for example) and, when I bought it, it was reasonably priced compared to the Lego brand.The building experience is not on par with Lego however. The instructions are printed on large fold-out sheets. I found myself having to build on the instructions and also had to fold and re-fold the instructions to keep their foot print small on the table. So, no where near as nice as flipping through a Lego booklet.All of the bricks for the house were in bags marked with the number 2. There was no effort made to put bricks together for different sections of the build. This meant learning what type of bricks were in each bag and then searching multiple bags of bricks for each step - no fun at all!The next issue is the number of bricks placed per instruction. Lego instructions are typically clear with a few bricks per step. This is not the case here. There are more bricks to place and the color coding is not good. I could not recognize all of the colors easily. Nor could I easily tell which blocks were transparent. The printed colors are not distinct enough - my daughter started to build with the white plates instead of the pale yellow ones. I had to go back and fix that later.Another issue with the instructions is that the blocks placed in the last step loose their color in the current step. This was confusing, but I did get used to it. My daughter hated building this set and called the instructions "trash" and so I ended up building it for her. It ended up being a grind instead of being fun.There were a couple of bricks missing and I had to rummage through our existing Lego to be able to complete the build. Also one of the bricks was mal-formed but still worked.One other minor point. The flowers are a really tight fit on the flower stems. I had to press really hard to get some of the flowers on. I almost broke one of the stems because I had to press so hard.I am glad that my daughter did not want me to apply the stickers for this set. The reference images in the instructions are not great, and the stickers are not numbered either. The couple of stickers that I did apply did match the size of the brick that they were being applied to though. This was something that I liked, but again - I only applied a couple of stickers.Overall it is a good sized and colorful set. My daughter likes how big it is and compares it to Lego Harry Potter Privet Drive - it's bigger, and has more rooms, and the colors are nice. The car is good too, but does not have an opening trunk. Working through the instructions was a chore though - as was finding all of the bricks.Unless you or your kids really, really, really, like building Lego it is hard to recommend this experience. If you are buying this for your kids expect them to be frustrated and not enjoy building this set. Expect to have to build it yourself for your kids.

Better than my expected. Even not too organize. Difficult to find the peace. But follow the instruction still can complete! And also. That is cute!

So I got this as a little extra for my little Lego Master of our home, and let me tell you, my little girl is GOOD with building blocks and she was SO frustrated trying to follow the directions and finding the pieces.First off, pieces are NOT organized based on building steps. They come grouped alright, in multiple bags but they have NO sequence nor make sense.Instructions? yes you have them, but they fail to tell a CHILD how to put the pieces together, so it shows a. the pieces that you need (okay) and B how it should look at the end. But NOT the in between or step by step to get there.So she asked for help and OH MY! after a day I got the hang of it and I kinda memorized where all the pieces where and in which bag (again, no relation to the sequence of the instructions or the section you are building, they are just "bagged" in random groups). So yeah, it is SUPER neat, don't get me wrong, after you finish it, she loved it, but it was a pain to put together so be warned!Now quality wise, they are super good, nothing to differ from a brand Lego. They are compatible with the others brand, super good quality, bright colors and novelty pieces. So they got that going on for them.Overall 3/5 just because the building experience takes a lot from it to be honest.Ta!

Going the cheap route and buying an off brand has its perks and downfalls. The pieces do all fit with standard Legos (yea!) and the house looks amazing when finished. The pictures are exactly how it will turn out. However, building it with the kids (who are Lego aficionados) was a nightmare. First, you get one bag labeled #1 and about six bags labeled #2. This means nothing because you'll need to open every bag all at once. Second, none of the sticker locations are labeled while building. I had to go back to the amazon pictures and zoom in on every photo to figure out where to put the stickers. Third, the stickers go over pieces that are joined, not one solid piece, like Legos. So, if you ever take the house apart, you'll have to rip the stickers off. Not cool. Fourth, many of the colors aren't shown true to color on the instructions and it's a guessing game to figure out the difference between white, yellow and darker yellow. With all that said, and the desire to rip my own eyes and hair out while building this, the end result was totally worth it. And the insane amount of money I saved compared to actual Legos (of which we already have a few thousand). The saying "you get what you pay for" totally applies.

I thought this set was by LEGO's my mistake but I will see once she open if its worth price.

They look cute, lots of pieces for money, giftable but below things we noticed which could have improved.- there is no proper sorting of packages as required. Like car, house, tree should have its own covers named. Here everything is dumped everywhere in couple of covers.- instructions are not clear. Kids cannot do themselves completely.- some are so hard to put pieces together as they are very tight snap together. Some don't even stick for ex: flowers on vase.

We did not realize it is not from Lego until we received it! Amazon should really enhance its filtering function! The package looks nice, but it comes with missing pieces and kids (11 and 7 years old) were having a hard time assembling it with poor instructions. Not like before with Lego sets, they can easily do all by themselves.
