I like creating things. Always have! I remember building puzzles with my mom. When relatives came over, they would walk over to the card table where all the pieces was sprawled out on and try to connect a piece. Not gonna lie sometimes it wouldn’t be the right piece, and we would need to fix it but it was all in good fun.
Legos are the next best thing to do besides puzzles. Unlike when I was a kid where there was mainly just individual pieces, there are tons of sets out there now.
I did a few sets so far such as this Charizard pokemon set, a lego Bonsai tree and an animal crossing set. It was a lot of fun and the Lego brand sets have an app with detailed instructions along with a 3D model app. This makes it so much easier than others. The Charizard set was from a brand called MEGA. I would say that’s the mid tier set. It has a booklet with detailed colorful instructions.
I have bought a few knock off building block sets from TEMU that I decided to toss in the trash. It was frustrating to say the least. The pieces were often warped and did not line up correctly. It’s a shame because the price was definitely more affordable and they have cool designs as well. But for me it was not worth the time and energy.
Off Brand: Instructions were black & white and hard to distinguish.
MEGA: colored and easy to read
LEGO: had both the paper manual and app. Paper manual was much like the MEGA set
My main tip to you is to buy lego sets or MEGA sets on sale. They often have reasonable sales on amazon and Walmart.
When building the lego sets keep each bag separate. Do NOT mix the bags all together. If you are really meticulous, you can separate pieces by colors but I would still keep them by bag number.
