FOCONebraska Cornhuskers NCAA BRXLZ Stadium - Memorial Stadium/Lincoln

I have wanted this item for quite a while, but was a little worried after reading the reviews. I loved LEGOs growing up and get jealous of my kids as they assemble their new sets, so I finally broke down and bought this for myself and am glad that I did.It was a lot of fun to assemble, but does require some patience, like doing a puzzle. With around 3,000 tiny pieces (see picture showing size next to a standard LEGO piece), it's best to start by sorting them by color and size, so you can quickly find what you need for each step. With that many pieces and only around 30 steps, this will save you a lot of time in the long run. Even with doing this, it still took between 12 and 15 hours to assemble, split between 3 days. The instructions tell you what pieces you will need for that step and show where each piece will go. As you can see in the picture, the shaded area shows what has already been completed and you just continue to add a layer each step. The toughest part is the seating, because you have to be gentle when adding each layer, so you don't break the layers beneath it. Just try to support it the best you can while adding that layer.I love the finished product and definitely plan to buy the Schott and maybe even Great American Ballpark at some point down the road. If you are debating on getting this, do it, but go into it knowing that it will be a challenge.

I'm struggling with how to rate this product. As everyone has said, the pieces are beyond tiny, there is zero rhyme or reason to the organization of pieces in bags, and the instructions are nearly impossible to decipher at times. My husband, who has very little patience but endless endurance, managed to put this stadium together in 15-20 working hours, and it looks amazing.Our biggest tip: take a picture on your phone/tablet of the section you're working on, and zoom in so you can see better. He broke each page into multiple sections this way, and was able to see the layers more easily to figure out what he was supposed to do. When we tried to work directly from the instruction book, it felt like looking at one of those Magic Eye pictures, where your eyes start crossing til a new image pops out.Overall, I'm super happy with the end result. Having to slag through what felt like an impossible task and coming out with an awesome looking stadium leaves you with a sense of accomplishment.

I bought this as a gift for my teen and pre-teen to build. They have put many, many Lego sets together, and they love the Nebraska Cornhuskers, so I thought this would be the perfect gift. I had read previous reviews that the pieces were small, and I knew they were not actual Legos, but figured they would be similar. I should have paid more attention to the part about the pieces being very small. The worked on this for several hours and then gave up frustrated. They said the pieces were so small that it was hard to tell what they were and that the directions weren't very good. They haven't touched it since, and I'm not sure they will attempt to finish it.

This product is nothing like Lego. The plastic pieces have flashing and don't fit together well at all. The stadium "seats" are beyond a nightmare. There's nothing underneath them so snapping pieces together ends up pulling sections apart.

This product was very difficult to put together. I am 67 years old and have put together several of the like items but had an extremely hard time with this one. When you get to the upper levels, you cannot get the parts to stay together without gluing them. If you make a mistake then you have a big problem. I managed to finish the stadium but I had to cut pieces to fit and damaged several pieces where I made mistakes with the glue. At one point, I just put the project aside for a month due to being so frustrated. The one positive thing is that enough "spare" pieces were included that I did not run short due to errors. The instructions could have been better. One suggestion would be for the start of each layer, include a reference point from another layer or a grid coordinate from the base plate.

We started to build it together, but I honestly feel like it’s easier to go by yourself...the pieces are very small and the directions are initially overwhelming. HOWEVER. If you take your time with the project, it will come together beautifully. Organize and count ALL of the pieces out at the beginning to make sure you’re covered for everything, then take things slow and steady. Double check that you’re placing things correctly, because it’s hard to get the pieces apart once they’re down. It’s a time consuming project, but it’s a lot of fun and you will feel so accomplished and excited at the end. His stadium proudly sits on his desk at work now and it’s the HIT of the office! :)

Understood this is a different product line and pieces are smaller than the Lego brand. Sadly, the exceptionally inadequate assembly instruction book left the experienced Lego builder in my household completely frustrated. I would not recommend purchasing which is unfortunate for those who enjoy building replicas & are sports fans.

This is not for a twelve year old. Very hard to assemble. Because of the difficulty, the person I gifted it to loved it. He had such a sense of accomplishment every step of the way. The directions suck and are small and difficult to see and look at, the bricks are small, the colors are difficult to differentiate and it was missing one brick. It did come with a few spares, not that one. It's very detailed, accurate and sturdy. Has stickers that would have been better if the bricks had been imprinted with instead. Overall, fantastic! If you're a perfectionist who loves a very difficult challenge and wants a time consuming activity, this is for you. That's exactly the person I gave it to and he kept taking about it every day for large amounts of all of our communications for weeks. Then he bought another item from the same company.
