I bought this kit as just a set of directions. To build this kit, I needed to buy individual bricks. I bought the bricks via Rakuten using Buyee as a proxy. I ended up getting orange 1x2s instead of orange 2x2s. I completed the build with the 1x2s, but there are a few extra lines on my finished build where there are orange bricks.
This build is broken into 2 parts there is the Elmo section and the hat.
The Elmo section begins with a base 10×10 brick. Then, the build goes up in layers, starting from a very small base. As I got to the top of Elmo, it was a bit tippy as I put on the next layer. A few times, the main section of Elmo would pop off the base, so I needed to line the body back up and reattach it to the base.
The hat section begins with a base layer of black bricks. I lay the bricks on my nanoblock pad as a starting point. The hat is very straightforward and goes up in layers. There is a break in all the black because an orange ribbon is going around the hat.
Things I liked:
- I really like how there is a band on the hat. Normally, witch hats are just solid black, so the extra detail is nice
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like how tippy Elmo is on the base. I think if the bottom couple of layers had more bricks, then it may have fallen off less when building
