"I was so excited when I saw this year’s Christmas Lego set - the Elf Workshop.
It was built by my 7 year old son - who isn’t a whizz at Lego (except the chimney which I built as he wanted a surprise about the waffle maker) so it is definitely not an 18+ build.
It has some great features - my son loved the balcony with a telescope and the elves falling out of the bunk beds. I love the hobbit style front door and we both love the waffle maker.
It would have more playability if the rooms were slightly larger. It’s a bit tight to move the elf figures around. Would have preferred more difference between the four elves who look very similar.
The roof was much easier to build and attach compared to last year’s gingerbread house. My son loved the Christmas lights & couldn’t wait to attach them.
Overall a great Christmas Lego set. And perfect to go on our hot chocolate bar alongside our gingerbread Lego house and our gingerbread cookie jar.
Ps Lego please avoid a black background in the instructions booklet - it’s impossible to read some of it and I’m sure it doesn’t pass essential disability access requirements."
