I've decided that each time I buy a new set, I will take pictures as I put it together and write a post about it. Hopefully this will help people to see what comes with the set and what everything looks like before they decide to buy it. My first review will be of a Easter egg hunt set. I bought it about a week after Easter and somehow forgot that I had it. This set was $9.99 originally, but it may have been on sale when I got it. It comes with 145 pieces, including 2 minifigures and a chicken. Here is a photo of the box:
There is a sneak peek at the Halloween set on the back:
Before building, I took the time to lay out all of the pieces to give everyone a better idea of what is included:
Here is a look at the minifigures:
The mother has a two-sided head, here is her other face:
Her sunglasses and tank top seem like a better fit for a summer set compared to the son's long sleeve flannel shirt, but I like them both. There are four "mini builds" for this set. First, there is a wheelbarrow with a carrot:
Second, there is a little garden plot with more carrots:
The third mini build is a little front gate scene with a mailbox, walkway, flowers, and lights:
The last build is a tiny chicken coop with a little nest and egg next to it, as well as a chicken sitting on the fence:
Here is a picture of everything together, including a little group of leftover pieces:
It took me about 20 minutes to put everything together, including the time to lay out all the pieces and take pictures. For some extra fun, I took some photos of the boy looking for the eggs. I don't think he needs that magnifying glass to see them!
Overall, I think this is a cute and fun set. I like the minifigures and the chicken. The fencing is really nice and a little more fancy than the other fence pieces in my collection. The eggs seemed a little too big at first, but their size makes it a lot easier to find them when you drop one in your living room and have to go on your own egg hunt. I think this little set was worth the money and am looking forward to the next seasonal set. I will be posting these reviews at least once a month. I will also be writing other posts about my minifigure collection and builds that I am working on. Thanks for reading!
