Japanese Street View Baozi Shop

this is a very nice set. mini blocks but easy to build and good overall design. instructions were easy to follow as well.pretty compact so great for display. i use it as a non-load bearing bookend on my manga shelf. it’s pretty when lit up at night as well.

After spending a few years making kits with lots of cutting and glueing, I decided to give block kits a try. This kit was pricier than others I have purchased, but so worth it. This was very challenging and has lots of intricate details. The sliding doors and roof tiles are my favorite elements. The back wall slides open too, allowing you and others to peek inside at all of your hard work. The wee lights make displaying this tea house even more appealing.Please be patient and take your time. I had a few missteps along the way, but once I put on some good music and slowed down this was really fun to put together. Note: There were 2 tiny pieces missing. Fortunately, I had leftovers from another kit that fit perfectly so no stars off. I hope more Japanese Street View kits are offered soon so that I can create a little city of my own!

This is a tricky little build. The pieces are small (about 2/3 the size of regular Legos), and there are a lot of them (~1200). The instructions are, for the most part, all pictures. In the end, though, you get a very detailed and beautiful little model. Just take your time and work through the instructions slowly, paying special attention to the colors of the pieces shown. Note that the kit contains three different shades of brown pieces with identical shapes (kind of cruel, imho). Anyway, the finished product is worth the aggravation, and it certainly does take your mind off the stress of everyday life for a few hours. - Which is probably why we build these things in the first place :)

I love this so much, halfway there and easy to read manual

I love puzzles and enjoy putting things together. I didn’t find the blocks too small and actually found the process very enjoyable and calming. I trusted the process and was pleasantly surprised by the results at each step. Being a visual person, if I couldn’t find a piece right away, I’d move on and usually come across it later. There weren’t any missing pieces, but it’s important to pay attention to each step—I missed a few but was able to go back and fix them. Overall, it was a delightful build!

Missing pieces. Could not finish the build.

Was not expecting this to be so fun considering it wasn’t real legos. Extremely detailed and the builds use many different interesting strategies. Feels like building a real Lego set. No pieces were missing. Some of the technic-like pieces were a little tight / loose but it’s understandable given the price point.Love it 10/10
