Hummingbird Brick Set

Fun to build, love the colors

It was a gift for my sister, who by the way is a loyal Lego fan, and she loved it. Another sister and myself gave her a bigger set for her collection.

I love the color, intricacy and movement of this lovely Lego construction. The only suggestion is that the base of the flower needs to be more solid. If the bird beak touches the flower, the flower falls down. But I love the set and the movement of the hummingbird.

This set is unlike any other brick set I’ve seen, with lots of interesting build techniques and bricks. The mechanical motion of the hummingbird is well-designed and works smoothly.
A minor quibble is that the instructions depicted fairly major steps that require a bit of careful examination of the illustrations to understand where each brick goes. A more major problem is that the build contains an illegal construction, namely, the brown tubes representing a vine on the back end of the box around the crank mechanism are supposed to be attached onto studs projecting from the wall of the box. However, the studs are on an angle such that the tubes construction does not align correctly. This requires a bit of fiddling with the bricks involved to make everything attach, but there remains a gap between the pieces representing the vine.
Given these two flaws I would say this build is definitely for builders with at least moderate experience.

Bought as a Christmas present for granddaughter.
