Chinese Famouse Architecture Micro Building Blocks Model Set for Adults - Yueyang Tower 2236 PCS

I took a chance and got this larger building block kit... It did not disappoint! I think the directions are very clear and easy to understand. It came will all the pieces it needed. It was really fun to do and did take me a little while which I loved how long it kept me busy. The blocks are easily put together and stay together very well. You would really need to try to pull them apart or smash it for it to come apart. Otherwise, it looks wonderful on my bookshelf! This is just an extremely fun kit!

Building the Yueyang Tower model with its 2236 blocks was an enjoyable experience for me. The size, standing at 10.4×6.3×6.7 inches, adds a notable presence to the finished product. I intend to glue it together and feature it inside my goldfish tank, creating a visually appealing setup.The construction process, guided by the instructions, was not overly challenging, but I'd recommend it for those who enjoy a moderate level of complexity in their building projects. Younger enthusiasts might benefit from some assistance.

Flimsy too many one pegs nothing holding the base together. I’m not a brain surgeon trying to keep all the tiny pieces in line and push together 😢

This is a very nice set. It has lots of pieces, good directions and is pretty challenging. My son enjoyed putting it together. He loves Legos and has built many sets. I would say this set was a moderately difficult one. Lots of pieces for the price.

I was hoping to build this with my son, but he lost interest early on. I'm not sure if it was just the micro size of the pieces which led to a challenge holding them and building without dropping them all over or if he was more interested in taking things apart than putting them together.I will say these sellers should stop with the photoshop where they drop these into some photo and make the product seem a lot larger than what it is - it's NO WHERE NEAR the size they portray it to be. They do give measurements so pay attention to that - this is less than a foot tall. That's another problem with how this is presented are with the dimensions with the photo's having one size and he description (title) another. Go by the photo measurements, this is just under 7 inches tall when completed and I'd say more like 6.25 inches for the square shaped base.That aside, the pieces are numerous and at times you wonder why they made them that way - to I really need 10 individual pieces to line up in a row when a single 10 x1 would have done or even a 6x1 + 4x1? That's only on certain parts, as they have other pieces where they did have various sizes to fit what you needed. The problem with having so many small pieces is that you are already dealing with a micro size, so micro you may even have trouble handling the smallest pieces and then try to fit that in where it needs to go. Your finger tips are going to be sore from handling smaller pieces with sharp corners!The instructions at times left a LOT to be desired. I had to really study the image to try and determine where the pieces went. Sometimes that meant starting from a point where it was obvious where the piece went and then making your way around to place the rest, and even then it wasn't always clear. There was more than once I had to undo a piece to rebuild a small section because I later realized I had made a mistake in placement. Another issue was when it called for some of the larger pieces to be held in place by a single connection point - this was mainly for the roof.Overall, I like the end result but feel like it can use some improvements. I will also note that there are numerous bags and it would have been nice if the pieces you needed for each phase were separated in number bags, but that's not the case. Your pieces needed may be in separate bags so you'll need to fish through the many tiny pieces to get to them. Also if you are slightly colorblind, some of the colors for the plants may give you an issue, I had problems with the yellow and light green but my son (and some better lighting) helped get through it for the most part.

I am a big fan of these building sets and I have become a bigger fan of the micro building sets. These are smaller than the typical lego size so keep that in mind. In the end you will be proud of the product, though, as it is an absolutely blast to put together. I was tickled at the final result.The instructions, to me, were extremely easy. Of course, with any of these sets you have to stare at the layouts to make sure you are laying everything out correctly but I will say on this set of instructions they did better than most. For challenging pieces, they actually color code a box for them so you can find that color code on the layout they provide.This building came out smaller than I would think but I liked that I was dealing with a much smaller building. It ended up being easier for me to deal with. I organized each bag into separate bins so it helped out in finding the pieces I needed. Some of the steps made no sense at the time but in a later step I realized what they were trying to do. This one ended up being more stable than some of my others of these micro building blocks.All in all - this was a fantastic bit of fun. Highly recommend.

OVERALL__I like that this is a model of an actual building. The architecture is historic and quite different than structures you typically come across. I'd love to see some models of ancient Mayan structures, historic ancient Greek, or European castles or Islamic structures too.__Per the description, be aware that these are smaller than Lego bricks and therefore are not compatible, They do mention that somewhere in the description, but it's easy to miss.__The size of these does mean you need more finger dexterity than you do for Lego, AND you can drop/lose the pieces easily.____The nice thing about this size, means the finished model is smaller as well. That means it's easier to allocate some shelf or table space to display the finished project.BUILDING THOUGHTS:__I would suggest you use a felt covered cloth or, better yet, one of those felted jigsaw puzzle boards to layout the pieces and to build upon. This way the pieces are less likely to bounce onto the floor when you drop a piece of this small blocks as you are working. The jigsaw puzzle boards have the added advantage of allowing you to relocate your model if needed, so if you have one, it's a good thing to build on.

This is a great set. most of the instructions are easy to follow. pictures make up for the lacking on some parts, which does need a small effort to figure out. Looks great completed though.
