LEGO Disney Encanto The Madrigal House 43202 Building Kit; A For Kids

I have to admit that I bought this not at the request of my child, but because I was drawn to the bright and vibrant colors of the bricks. I built this with my 4 year old daughter and I would estimate we took 3 hrs to build this-my daughter did the vast majority as a first pass and we guided her and helped correct mistakes along the way. I imagine older children would be able to build it much faster. I understand the other reviews saying that the set could be much more detailed and interactive, however for a beginner builder it is great, and there is a sense of pride at being able to construct something from a favorite movie that is priceless. I would like to see more minifigures included.

Got this for myself, I'm 58yrs old and my 6yr old granddaughter helped me build it. Actually, all I did was hand her the pieces and she placed them where they needed to be! It was an enjoyable experience for the two of us! Also purchased the Encanto Magical Door sets for my granddaughter (Isabella and Antonio). She has so much fun playing and pretending with them. All LEGO sets are very detailed and make a beautiful display.

Really disappointed with this LEGO offering. Toy companies are given information from the film maker so merch is ready for the film release but sometimes the film changes a bit which may explain the heavy emphasis on the capybara! But unless there are more sets to be released, the absence of Bruno, Luisa and Isabela (Story books don’t count) is very disappointing. If you watch the film, the possibilities of a ``living Casita for LEGO build are so exciting but then we get this! Some of the friends sets and other Disney builds like Rapunzel and Cassandras’ caravan - even Sleeping Beauty’s’ cottage - had more excitement and ingenuity than this. Maybe LEGO had little faith in this fabulous film but this set is such a lazy and disinterested design. I would happily pay ... MoreReally disappointed with this LEGO offering.

Maybe LEGO had little faith in this fabulous film but this set is such a lazy and disinterested design. I would happily pay more for a bigger and more reverential set. How about moving staircases? Hidden rooms and passages? Sliding portraits? And more than a peephole in a nook with a miniature candle! And decent hair that doesn’t fall off! I could rant on… LEGO is a respected toy maker, they haven’t earned it with this set.
