  • Great product!
I absolutely adore the LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection set! As a nature lover and LEGO enthusiast, this kit has been a fantastic addition to my collection. The highlight of this set is, without a doubt, the life-size Blue Morpho Butterfly. The attention to detail is remarkable, and it's astonishing to see this beautiful insect recreated in LEGO bricks. The colors are vibrant, and the intricate design captures the essence of the butterfly perfectly. It's a true work of art and a testament to LEGO's commitment to quality and creativity. The set also includes several other insect models, each with its unique charm. From the colorful dragonfly to the intricate scarab beetle, building these insects was a fun and educational experience. The instructions are clear, and the pieces are well-organized, making the building process enjoyable and stress-free. What I appreciate most about this set is its educational value. It's a fantastic gift for nature lovers of all ages, as it not only provides an enjoyable building experience but also serves as an excellent educational tool. You can learn about these fascinating insects and their role in the natural world while having a blast building them. Additionally, the display stand included in the set allows you to showcase your creations beautifully. It's a conversation starter and a source of pride for any LEGO collector. In summary, the LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection set is a delightful gift for nature enthusiasts, LEGO fans, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world. It combines the joy of building with the wonder of nature, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Make your parents feel like kids again.
You ever wonder what in the world you should buy your folks for Christmas? Completely lost at what would be the perfect gift. Well, let me tell you. This Lego set is the perfect Christmas gift. Even for parents in their 60's. I wanted to my parents to feel young and youthful again, and this set really helped do that. Very fun activity we were able to all do as a family. Each bug comes in its own little package so the parts don't get mixed or confusing. Each one comes with it's own little booklet too, so a family of 3 can easily all sit around the kitchen table and work on these together like me and my family did! Each bug has its own complexities in building but they weren't too hard! (the beetle was mildly challenging) I feel like anyone above 12 could easily put these sets together. (but it would be frustrating for younger children, and possibly elders with seeing issues as the parts are TINY! (12-70 year age range id say give or take depending on the person). Once they are built these little suckers are super sturdy! They make very cute little statues in the office or on a bookshelf on display. Definitely recommend getting your parents legos for Christmas! You won't regret it! ... show more

  • A Unique Build Worth Displaying
As a LEGO enthusiast, I was eager to try the LEGO Ideas 21342 The Insect Collection, especially since it's the 50th set in the Ideas series. The set includes three life size insect models: a Blue Morpho Butterfly, a Hercules Beetle, and a Chinese Mantis. Build Experience The build was engaging and rewarding. Each insect is constructed on its own base, featuring elements like flowers and foliage to reflect their natural habitats. The butterfly's wings are detailed with printed tiles, and the mantis's poseable limbs add to its lifelike appearance. Display and Aesthetics Once completed, these models make for striking display pieces. The vibrant colors and intricate designs capture the essence of each insect beautifully. They serve as both a testament to nature's wonders and a conversation starter. Final Thoughts At $79.99, the set offers good value for the quality and uniqueness it provides. It's an excellent choice for adult LEGO fans and nature enthusiasts alike. If you're looking for a distinctive addition to your collection, the Insect Collection is worth considering. ... show more

  • Fun!
Love it! The size of the bugs are great. There were no missing pieces. I got it on sale, but even at full price it is well worth it. Building it was easy overall. There were a few spots you have to take your time on. The design was unique in my opinion and accurate. I would recommend this Lego set.
