QLT Japanese Street View Izakaya Shop Mini Building Blocks, MOC Creative Model Set, 809 PCS Simulation Architecture Construction Toy (Not Compatible with Japanese Blocks)

This was a lot of fun, definitely challenging. Originally, based on the description, I bought this to do with my 6 year old, but that dream died as soon as I opened the box and saw the pieces and the instruction sheet. (We do regular lego sets together no problem) I think this would be frustrating for the average 6 year old because the pieces are so small that as you are building the whole thing often just crumbles in your hand and you have to re-do things you have done like 6 steps ago. I'd say probly 12 and up is a safer age range. You need to trouble shoot along the way to compensate for random leaning and things like how is this flag supposed to stay in this spot if it falls out one more time i'm setting it on fire (use one of the small circle things or flower things)As for my own personal journey with this set: it took me about 8 hours spaced over 2 days around 4hrs a day. The instructions are really clear, all pictograms just like the regular lego. The only place those got a little odd is with the neutral colors. It was sometimes difficult to tell the difference between taupe and tan and gold. (I'm not kidding). After finishing the bottom floor as I was putting the pieces of the second story on, I started to notice there seemed to be pieces missing from side areas which made gaps. I went back and reviewed the instructions for those areas but I hadn't missed a step or any pieces. I ended up leaving the gaps until I was finished with the entire structure since they weren't causing any issues holding the second story on. I also noticed that as I got closer to the finish line, I was missing small circle pieces. Luckily there are 900 pieces that are all the same shape just different colors so I fudged it. Once I was completely finished, I went back to the gaps and used the left over pieces to fill them in. Besides some smaller pieces missing, the doll's apron was missing, but as a consolation prize I got a mystery piece that looks like a piece you'd build a launching lever with. It is not a part of this set so somewhere out there someone is holding a small apron and looking for the launcher. I also got creative with some of the flower and vine things because they wouldn't stay where they were supposed to go. Lastly, the octopus was much easier to construct than I expected.Pictures:1-Structure next to a lego friends girl for size comparison2-Structure next to regular school glue for size comparison3-Side view while closed4-Front view while closed5-Other side view while closed6-Slightly open7-Open front view so you can see how one side lifts up and leans back8-The small black square is from this set next to the brown square from a lego set - size comparisonTakeaway - yes, i'd recommend this set. i have the cat one which im going to do next. i'd buy more of these for sureEdit:I finished the cat one, and there were missing pieces, notably one of the cat eyes. There were enough pieces to complete the building but, like the other set, I ran out of the correct colors and some of the instructions were missing additional information like a portion needing four blocks but it only says to put three. I cannot stress enough that to enjoy these you really have to have patience and the ability to go with the flow and trouble shoot.

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this set for myself! I love the idea of a honey house and the honey bees as big as the little girl, all so cute!The design is unique. The pieces fit very well besides the bucket handle falling off because of the weight of the bee balancing on just the handle itself. It’s the law of gravity and all. The different color combinations and the steps on which exact colors to use (ex. 4 different shades of neutral from brown to tan, 2 shades of gray, and solid and clear yellow) made it look easy and challenging. The steps were pretty clear, even more so than some of the Lego projects I’ve worked on with my kids. It is very well detailed in the steps. What I really like that’s unique is that the stickers that accompanies the matching piece actually is the same color as the piece so when you look at the piece it looks flawless, fit, size and all. This mini building set is more of an intricate puzzle but lots of fun. While working on it I keep thinking that this isn’t for very young kids, maybe age 10+? There were many extra pieces but the one missing crucial bucket. I felt like I couldn’t continue but because it was an accessory of sorts that wasn’t being used by the bee, I just gave it to the bees so each would have a bucket. The whole set was well made, durable and unique. It may be compatible with other puzzles of the same mini build selections but I wouldn’t know because I only own this bee set for now.For the bag numbering, I found it meant nothing because bag 1 and 2 wasn’t labeled and as I worked on each page of the steps I find the the pieces aren’t in one bag but scattered throughout.I enjoyed putting the whole thing together!For those who love Legos or building sets, puzzles, fine tune motor skills, an eye for detail and quality, and all the ambiance of a tiny but detail oriented challenge, this is a great set. Happy building!

I am quite pleased with my purchase. This creative model set offers an adorably cute representation of a Japanese izakaya shop, which instantly caught my attention.The level of detail in this set is impressive, the intricate design of the building, the tiny accessories, and the overall aesthetic are delightful.However, one aspect that proved to be a slight challenge was the small size of the building blocks. While this added to the overall cuteness factor, it made the assembly process a bit more intricate and time-consuming than I initially anticipated. The small blocks required precision and patience to fit together properly. It's worth noting that the set comes with clear instructions, which helped to navigate the assembly process, but it still required careful attention.Despite the minor challenge during assembly, I must say that the end result was worth it. The finished model is simply charming, with excellent attention to detail and a high-quality appearance. It's evident that the set is designed with care and craftsmanship.

Es muy bonito y muy detallado como en la imagen, eso si te puedes tardar mucho en harmarlo pero vale la pena

Good Quality, easy enough for a 12 year old to build and at the same time took them long enough to be occupied for a couple of days

Tiny lego! so much fun when your brain needs a rest. These LOTZ brand a good quality, satifying 'snap' when putting together and so much detail. Took a while for my adult fingers to get used to the tiny size of the pieces, but worth it. Super cute and fun, good quality.
