Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a 60 year old woman - this is my SECOND lego set! Lol! My first was the "Friends" TV show set I got for Christmas. I got it just because I've always liked that show, and thought it might be fun to build. I had so much fun putting that together, and seeing how much it looked like the TV show set and all the detail! It was a relatively small Lego set, and I was really kind of sad when I was done! But, I really didn't expect to do any more lego sets. My hubby was amused that I enjoyed "Legos" and surprised me with this Treehouse set of over 3000 pieces! I got it this month, and I've been working on it a little every night. I just want to relish every little moment of construction - so I'm not rushing it. (Plus - I do have a full-time job!) Usually, in the evenings, you'll find me crocheting, painting or doing some other craft while I watch TV with my hubby, but now you find me playing engineer and building legos! Lego building is a first for me! (Except for the little things I've done with my kids and grands.) I'm really enjoying all the DETAIL that is in these sets! Its a surprise to not really know what you are building, until the final piece is in place - and all of a sudden you see its a bed or a coo-coo clock, a bird house or a toilet! Lol! Its an adventure every time I complete a new step. I've had to learn how to read the instructions, and determine where each one goes. I've had to take it apart a few times because I did it wrong. But, its taught me to pay closer attention to the small details. It has been so fun. I'm about 1/2 way into construction and look forward to seeing the completed piece. However, not to seeing this adventure come to an end! I secretly caught my hubby perusing Amazon for another set for me last night! I guess this proves - you can't be too old for Legos! I can imagine I'm going to have to watch my grandkids - that they won't destroy my masterpiece! Because, it will be a very tempting toy! This is a beautiful treehouse with lots of great imagination built in! Love it!
