I’m only doing this for attention...
" But I’d really love to give this set 6/5.
There’s only 2 reasons that I can’t.
1. I received a twisted 6x8 plate used in the game cartridge itself, 2 bowed 2x16 plates in bag 7 for the console top, resulting in a flaw in the finished product. My manuals were also badly folded on themselves inside the box and the loose antenna rod was quite bent, and even straightening it with my fingers for 20 minutes didn’t get it all that perfect.
I would have thought that when a highly anticipated product sells out on the first day and we have to wait 6 weeks of checking the website every day to even be able to order one again, that the quality control would be on point and not rushed like it seems was the case for a number of people here.
2. I think there could have been a bit clearer of an instruction on the tv base. Since I’ve done the Ideas Treehouse, I’ve faced the no-stud-clip method before. But other than lack of clarity, I see no real reason to down rate for it, so hopefully this review helps a few people. If you struggle with the tv stand, turn it upside down to get a better look. There’s no studs, but there’s still a trademark “snap” when you get it right.
I’d lastly like to give some advice for bags 17-19: if you need an efficient way to straighten your 1x1 tile decorations, my best method was to place all the 2x16s on a flat surface (Technic bits removed) and sandwich them between two long bricks. It’s not perfect, but it’s much nicer for your fingers than fiddling with single 1x1 tiles. Pro tip: wait til you’ve done both layers of decoration, i.e. bag 19, to save triple handling.
All being said and done this was a fantastically entertaining build, and I would like to give my sincerest thanks to the designers, the LEGO team, and most of all Nintendo for allowing this all to be possible.
I was even thankful for the Zelda and Metroid teasers in the front of the manual. ;)
I will be even more thankful when we can buy new screens, second controllers, and extra game paks and stickers form that extra authentic look & feel. ;) ;) hint hint.
