What owners single out
Buyers' concern with instruction booklet quality aligns with video reviewers' finding that guidebook builds lack required pieces or cannot be completed as shown.
In their words
“I gave this LEGO Classic box 5 stars because it’s honestly one of those toys that never gets old. There are so many pieces and colors that kids can build pretty much anything they can think of, and it keeps them busy for hours without getting bored. I also like that it’s not just fun, it actually gets creativity going and makes them think.”

“Great lego kit with lots of bright colours and pieces to build a range of things. My niece has really loved the flowers that come included in the set. We have also made the camera, which was a really fun activity. The prompts in the guidebook are great but the kit itself has an excellent range of pieces for anyone to use their imagination and build anything. The possibilities are endless.”
