Unlike when I was a kid where there was mainly just individual pieces, there are &nbsp;tons of sets out there now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s the mid tier set. It has a booklet with detailed colorful instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off Brand: Instructions were black &amp; white and hard to distinguish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MEGA: colored and easy to read<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LEGO: had both the paper manual and app. Paper manual was much like the MEGA set<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My main tip to you is to buy lego sets or MEGA sets on sale. They often have reasonable sales on amazon and Walmart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What lego set would you like to get next?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like creating things.
