I bought myself this as a Christmas present. it's not exactly my usual craft project, but what the heck, it's an accomplishment and I'm mentioning it here.
Thoughts on this:
(a) It comes in 8 different sections of building: the core center, each side of his coat, the arms, the head, and the rest of the head/sign. It also comes with a 162 page manual to put this thing together. Each section has its own bag and then bags within bags for the really tiny bits.
(b) It took me about 2 days, I did the first 6 sections one day and then the last two on another.
(c) The drawings were very clear and about 99% of the time, easy to follow, thank goodness.
(d) The worst part of it was making the coat, as after you construct each side you just kind of...press...it onto the center, and it doesn't attach very securely. This kind of shocked me for Lego and made it feel kinda rickety. Occasionally I had bits flying off.
(e) Occasionally, pieces were missing, sigh. Not sure how sometimes you have extra and sometimes you...don't....?
(f) I did appreciate the movables/articulations for the hands, and that he has a little ball! His head is on a... slider thing, I guess, so you can slide it back and forth.
(g) Making the head (and the ball) were my favorite bits. The head is really cute.
(h) The tiny Baby Yoda it comes with is SUPER TINY. Probably a good thing it sits on the sign or else it'd get lost.
Anyway, good job, me!
