Animal Tiger Micro Building Blocks Set（6488PCS） Gift for Adults and Kids

Product arrived on time and as advertised. Some pieces were broken, but there were more than enough extra pieces to make it a non-issue. This set is cute. Adorably so. Yes, the instructions are in Chinese, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I can READ PICTURES in any language. If you like to build, don’t mind a challenge, and are looking for a delightfully darling display piece, this set would be highly recommended.

Was hard at first to understand the directions but figured it out after studying the entire directions

Great idea, but pieces can break easily doesn't hold altogether too well. My son six years old puzzle it in seven days.

I purchased a kit using the same kind of blocks a few years ago. It was not stable and I did get my money returned. In that case, ALL the bricks were the same size - 1x1 with the sliding together sides.This kit at least has 3 different size bricks - 1x1, 1x2, and 1x3. It's more stable but not by much!The ONLY advantage this type of brick has over the name-brand (Lego) is the fact that you can make a single level that stays together because they slide together.The only pro I can list is that this kit is cute!Problems with this kit:Instructions: As another reviewer has noted - the instructions are in Chinese! They are also all on a single sheet of paper (2 sides) with no note as to how many of any size/color piece to use for each step. Rammed together as the steps are makes the instructions hard to follow. The one problem with the instructions in Chinese are the nose and mouth of the tiger. There are two different shades of pink in use and unless you can read Chinese, which you use in which case is pure guess!Quality of bricks: The quality is poor. There are many cases of "flashing" on the top of the pips at the top of the bricks. You can fold this flap down or even break it off in some cases. to be sure, you need to cut is off and that's not easy.Sliding Bricks: This is a critical part of the project and you never can tell if two bricks will slide together easily or fight you tooth and nail. More often, it's "tooth and nail"!Connecting Bricks: In a large number of cases, trying to complete a level is extremely difficult as the bricks don't want to connect in many cases. A small (8 oz) rubber mallet is needed in a large part of the project just to begin to keep the levels level.Construction: Once I got to the part where the front legs connected to the main body of the project, I had to put them BACK on with almost every single step! Trying to do each level would often cause the legs to pop off. Fortunately (or maybe it's unfortunately), they were easy to pop back on.Stability: No matter how you do it - no matter how much you use the mallet and get the tiger looking like it's "all together", you cannot tell if it will STAY "all together"! As I said, the use of a rubber mallet was often needed. In those cases, you had to be careful how to hold the tiger while using the mallet or things like the legs would come off.I found that the most stable and easiest way to work on the project was layer by layer. I would make a "ring" of the layer and then, carefully, place and press that level into final position on the model, using the instructions as a guide. With the difficulties sliding pieces together consistently, this was the only way to work. Last night, while trying to place a level into position, the head popped off! While trying to carefully put the head back in place, the legs popped off (again). Then, the bottom (back legs and bottom/tail) came off! It took me about 30 minutes to get that one simple level in place after fixing all the breaks in the process.NO PROJECT should be any where near this difficult!Unless you totally enjoy total frustration -- skip this tiger, even if it is cute!

This tiger was so much fun to put together. I was leery about buying one of these "off brand" Lego things, but was pleasantly surprised at how good this turned out. Sure, a couple of the pieces were not perfectly made, but there were enough spare pieces to make up for it. The pieces were divided by 1's, 2's, and 3's which at first I was worried about struggling to find the right piece, but it actually went pretty smoothly. Unlike traditional Legos, these pieces also link together with each other along their sides. To some people, this may seem extra tedious, but I didn't mind it. This was a very relaxing build, and the final product is cute. For how big it is, I probably would have had to spend another $40 for something this large in Legos. The instructions are not in English, but the pictures are good enough to follow along with. Would definitely buy more of these type of building bricks!

I would suggest taking pictures of the different steps, and the 1st few steps are 2 different pieces! IE paws & body that connect at step 6! It is very hard to build & keep together because it's hollow & the next layer will slide when you have to lightly hammer in place! When you see grey in picture it's green! Just breathe & take your time when it breaks while you're building it! It's definitely not like Legos (hooks on top and side grooves) I would never get one again, but loved the Tiger & I'm stubborn! It would be so much better if it was at least a little less hollow so the layers stay where they are supposed to be!

Opened the box expecting this would be a similar build to the husky and calico cat that I got but with more pieces, and was sorely disappointed. Description advertises this as having over 6000 pieces but there's no way. The instructions are only a few pages, and impossible to read (to see if maybe some of the pictures are supposed to be repeated or something) bc the text is Chinese. Returning immediately. I'll buy some more of the other mini-block sets that I like instead. Bummer!

The media could not be loaded.  The quality of this block build is great! The plastic pieces not only have knobs on top to click into, but they have grooves in the side that fit together so that everything holds together really well. The build instructions were easy to follow. I really enjoyed creating this and will definitely buy some other products from this company.
