La Catrina

Excellent piece to build and really looks spooky for Halloween.

Beautiful Set

I have been a Lego collector for decades and I absolutely love this set. It's a fun build and gorgeous when complete. The fact it's an Ideas set makes it even more special.

Awesome build

La Catrina is an awesome build. Everything about the build is well done, the dress, the posability, right to the look of the skull and hat. Plus if you match it up the Ofrenda it looks very good together.

Love it!

This set is amazing! The detail that goes into building the Catrina is incredible. It took me a few hours and days to build her, but I enjoyed every minute of it. This was the perfect set to celebrate the day of the dead.

Very decorative

It was a fun build. Some reviewers complained that pieces kept falling off, I had no problems whatsoever with it. Loved the finished set, so different from all my other builds.

Build

I had a lot of trouble with the pieces not fitting correctly. A lot of the pieces seemed to large for the brick I was to put it in. I had a lot of problems with it falling apart. I've been building for years never had problem like this. I had to use glue to make the pieces stay in place ( not happy about) .

Let Down

Was super excited for this project; she was to be the centerpiece of larger project. From the jump, this project has been a pain. Not all the directions made sense, but if you've ever built before, you could figure out what's supposed to go where. Things were going fine until the third level. The directions became especially hard to follow and, for the first time ever, not all the pieces were included. (Specifically Bag #9 was missing several pieces.) Despite the missing pieces, I was still able to build. I used pieces left from other projects...until it came time to place her head on her shoulders. It needs a ball-joint. I don't have a spare one. So, I went online to order...and it's not available. Even if it were available, it would still take over a week to send. Not great as it's almost October. Now I'm stuck with a headless lady with a wonky midsection. Total waste of money. I'm sad and mad...and every time I look at the part I built, I get angrier.

Frustrating Build

I completely agree with the other critical reviews. This was an extremely frustrating and finicky build and leaves no room for errors. I had to redo the skirts multiple times because they continued to fall off every time I added on a new layer. Overall, the build is extremely unstable. I wanted to quit numerous times.It is a very beautiful piece of artwork, but has been the worst lego build I have done.

10 swearing fits, 1 cool skeleton

This build is exceptionally fragile. During assembly, it felt like it was constantly on the verge of collapsing several times. Adding one piece caused entire sections to cascade down, forcing me to rebuild the same parts repeatedly. The structural stability during the build process leaves a lot to be desired. And there were moments of pure frustration when I almost gave up, if you plan to tackle this, set, handle it with extreme care and once it is together, do you not touch it! Find a safe low traffic display spot and leave it there. It is beautiful once it's finished, but the journey to get there is definitely a rocky road.
