Valentine's Brown and White Dancing Bear Couple Building Blocks Set Toy, Valentine's Day Love Heart Ornament, Birthday Gift Toy School Classroom Gift Exchange for Kids

This is an adorable lego-like build set featuring two bears who seem to be in love! I would not advise buying this for a lego-building kid unless an adult is assisting, because it is a little complex to put together and I wouldn't want to frustrate a younger child. The bears even have posable legs, due to a little ball joint-type piece, so they can be posed like they are dancing, just like the picture on the box. That said, it is a fun challenge with a cute outcome, which can be taken apart and stored, or left out as a display. This was priced at $18-$19 but I received it in exchange for my honest thoughts. I would not have spent that amount on this (though the subject matter would have made this a temptation); I'm a frugal sort, though, and not in love at the moment. But for $10-$15, a definite YES. But that's just me. The first thing I thought of, though, when I saw these two "bears in love", was a VERY funny song called "Zacherly", written and sung by Bob Dorough, a jazz composer, musician, and singer. Please look it up! His is a well-known voice among grown-up kids (which would include me) who saw "Schoolhouse Rock" shorts in between cartoons on Saturday mornings. Bob wrote and sang such educational hits as "Three Is A Magic Number" and "Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here", among many others. But "Zacherly" is about a "happy bear" who meets a "bear named Claire, blonde hair, pink nose, a laughing air". And the song -- and their story -- goes on from there! I won't spoil it; you've got to look it up. So that is what drew me to this particular build set. This would make a great Valentine's gift, but also think cute anniversary gift, for an older kid who is a lego fan, or from one kid to another as friends who like cute bears or build sets, or definitely a boyfriend/girlfriend gift for any occasional surprise. Here are some photos to show you the scale of the finished build!

This bear couple is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while.

This came in a pretty box with pieces logically packed in separate packets. The instructions book is very clear. The pieces have vibrant colors and feel good quality. My kid has already spent a couple of hours assembling this and it's very satisfying to see him build it.

These are extremely cute! when it comes to quality you cannot tell the difference between name brand and this brand as in building sets for toys! The instructions are just like name brand and very easy to follow! the quality as in the plastic is the same they are compatible with name brand ones I have at home at least majority of the pieces! this set includes 528 pieces it is for ages 6 and up, I do believe a lot of these small pieces might be harder for 6-year-old unless they are very experienced. The base come in some bigger piece and a lot of the small flower piece, the bears seem about average size pieces. There is 183 steps most of those I believe are steps with the flowers and the Bear. It's extremely adorable, great value, I would definitely recommend! I bought this for my stepdaughter hoping she's going to love it because she's in her first Love stage at 17 years old and maybe I'll remind her of her boyfriend and her! I can't wait to give it to her!

Very cute Lego-like set. The pieces have all fit together nicely and the instructions are clear enough. My 6yo daughter loved it for her birthday. No complaints!

quick shipping and delivery. easy to assemble. adorable. perfect gift for our teenager that loves lego sets

It’s a beautiful once you put it together make sure you follow the steps carefully cause if you miss or use one wrong piece it won’t hold together

These blocks are compatible with Lego, but there are a few with non-standard connectors. I'd say assembly was medium difficulty because while the instructions are reasonable to follow, there are a few blocks which look very similar, but are different enough to cause problems with assembly if you use the wrong one. My kit was also missing one small brick. However, there were extras of some other pieces included, so my kids and I were able to complete the whole project using only the blocks included. The finished project looks adorable, and it would be easy to modify the finished set slightly or more drastically for an alternative look.

A bit challenging to put together. A bunch of the pieces are hard to click in for my son. I had to help him a lot more than I would on a regular Lego set. Overall it’s a pretty cute set.

Knock off lego type pieces did not fit well together. Bears kept falling off. Keep telling myself to buy only Lego brand.
