LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street Building Kit 21324

I want this set so bad and I feel like it wasn’t as appreciated as it should have been by these other Adults!!

I absolutely loved this set. I used my son as the excuse to buy it, but in all honesty, I just wanted it for myself! It's got incredible detail, it's very true to the show, and they've done an amazing job of creating a set based on a brand new theme, without having to create a whole heap of set-specific pieces that ruin the creativity. Most sets that do well on Lego Ideas also take into account something customers realise the importance of, which isn't always the case with Lego... portability and storability. A lot of Lego Ideas designs (think Mini Golf for example) are made to sit wholly on one baseplate, or maybe two, like this one, which makes them so much easier to display, store, move, without having to pull them apart, which is sadly the case too often, especially if you have limited space. It also gives it a nice polished look. My only real feedback would be that there was an opportunity to offer an expansion set, or just add a bit more to this one. It's not cheap, so a few more dollars wouldn't have mattered, to include just a little bit more. Specifically classic characters like Snuffleupagus or Grover. This was disappointing because the original designer had included a Grover minifig, and then he was removed, but there's a huge homage to new, less significant characters like Zoe, which don't really appeal to the 18+ age group that didn't grow up watching her. Alternatively, even just making a set of additional mining available for purchase would be great, because many countries have demographic-specific characters that are very important. Other than that, the same feedback I give every time... please please please change your boxes, so that the sets can be stored away once built. Sadly, the off-brand sets, like the Bunnings marketing sets, do this, but Lego doesn't. I could by ten times as much if we could put them away and stack them once built. All-in-all, a gorgeous set that I was very lucky to just happen to see the day it came out, and so glad I got it. I hope more Lego Ideas designs are approved that show the same commitment to the theme, as well as understanding what the customer needs.

This set is so good works amazing with Lego muppets

ibuilt the set and had fun but the fact is that the design should have been a full modular building becuse to me it looks half built

Intricate building techniques. Dozens of references thrown in for nostalgia. Perfect minifig designs (with their medium and short legs!) Some might say Hooper's looks unfinished, but it works for me as it creates an inviting corner shop atmos (most fittingly!)

Right as I saw this I knew I had to earn more money so I could buy it. When I was done building it I saw how tiny Cookie Monsters house is. I was thinking what if lego made a separate set of Cookie Monster and made it more detailed.

Whilst I am not a lego enthusiast I am a collector of Sesame Street products. Aside from a dent in my box, this product arrived in stellar condition. At first, when I saw the massive instruction booklet I was extremely nervous as I would describe myself as a beginner builder. However, the way the instructions were broken up into parts made the assembly process very easy. The booklet featured information about Sesame Workshop in English, Spanish, and French. Additionally, all the instructions were pictures, making it friendly to consumers from many different backgrounds. The end product turned out great! I used the Minifigures in the complementary lego set to act as the live-action characters! Overall I am very satisfied with my purchese and would recomend this product.

Excellent Lego set!! Perfect for any Sesame Street fan

It’s a classic theme.

I was beyond excited to build this Lego set, having grown up watching Sesame Street as a child, and for the most part the building experience was wonderful and exciting. My biggest issue was how incredibly unstable and unsupportive the base is, and I wonder if it's the sort of build that you have to do in one spot and not move. I was up to building the furniture for the top floor when I had to move the set from where I was working, and the piece of the base I held broke away from the rest and the whole building fell to the floor and smashed into pieces. I nearly cried. Once I reassembled it I was much more careful with it, but still pieces of the base clicked in and out of place. It felt like I was handling a tiny newborn baby rather than a Lego piece and l think the base could have been done a lot better. I also found it difficult to read the instructions on the dark background, as I've seen others mention. My other huge disappointment was that some of the minifigures don't have legs that can bend. I couldn't believe it!! There is so much opportunity for play with this set but Elmo and Ernie can't sit or be made to look like they're walking, and of course with the bulky body and tail Big Bird can't sit down in the chairs either. I feel like this is a huge let down for anyone wanting to build the set and be able to play with it (I have kids, it's not just me playing Sesame Street on my own haha). But those issues aside, I love it. There are so many memories in the set for kids who grew up watching the show. I would definitely recommend it, and just warn people to be very careful handling the base and be prepared that not all the characters have the same playability.

This set is amazing!!! I just started getting back into Legos and this show was part of my childhood.

First time Dad had to get his child into Lego young. Duplo, and now 4 year old beginner Lego sets, why not Sesame Street! We love the minifigures, and the build is colorful and fun. Who will be the next Lego Sesame Street character? Or what Sesame Street build set is next? We are anxiously waiting Lego we would like more! Definite recommend to all those parents who children enjoy Sesame Street. Get it for your children, it's a blast from the past for the parent builder. Also a new beginning for your child. Can't believe Lego and Sesame Street has been around longer than my 41 year old self.

This is my first Lego set I’ve purchased for me. It is so much fun, and really brings back my childhood, with the Sesame Street theme! Looking forward to building more sets!

*Sigh* In typical fashion, a set that the box suggests thakes 18+ years to complete, I completed in under 3 hours. I haven't been challenged since age 4 and I'm 35 and a half now. This set is whats known to experts as a "garbage find" and will leave you wanting more.

*Sigh* another set of legos that suggested it would take 18+ years to complete, yet I complete in under 3 hours. I havent been challenged since age 4 and I'm 35 and a half now. Known as a "garbage find" amongst expert builders, this set will leave you wanting more.

This was a great build for us. Our little one is obsessed with Sesame Street so a win win situation for us. We grew up with Sesame Street so this brought the nostalgia rushing through and our daughter got to play with the minifigs. I would recommend this to everyone with kids or not!

Very colorful and lots of little secrets as you build along. I really appreciate the level of detail!

Love the set but there are some issues with building it. One- the base, not strong enough. Continues to break apart when building. I need to raid my son's Lego to improve the base. Two- the black pages in the instruction book. Not helpful with dark pieces. Hard to see what you need to do. Three- where is grover? Overall a great set just not fun to build. I'm in the process of rebuilding since it fell apart when I moved it. It's the base!

I love the little Easter eggs hidden around, like the paper clip box. I love how unlike many other sets there aren’t many repeated steps. The way different pieces are used to make objects, like the flower bed and the actual beds, are so creative and cool. It was interesting because two pieces that had pictures printed onto them were different than the ones on the box and in the instructions. The wood panel was different and the milk carton had a picture of a glass of milk instead of a cow. Doesn’t matter to me I just find that very interesting.

Love the characters and the build. Fits into my modular city well
