LEGO Ideas 21301 Birds Model Kit

This is a terrific grown-up Lego set. The birds have a surprising realism and look attractive on my bookshelf. The assembly procedure was uncomplicated and relaxing. I enjoyed seeing the birds come to life as I completed each set of instructions. The design is clever and I am really pleased with the set.

I bought this for my 8 year old grandson thinking it might be stored away for a couple of years if too difficult. He made the hummingbird in 15 minutes, saying that an 8 year old could do it if they can read and follow directions. He finished the other two birds quickly and wishes there were more sets like this that he could make up. He loves birds.

As pictured/expected. I enjoyed putting these together.

Adorable! Shipping took longer than I expected.

This is a wonderfully different Lego set that should really appeal to adult enthusiasts. I got this as a holiday gift, and although I probably wouldnt have selected it for myself, I am now delighted to have it in my collection. Like the Architecture sets, these Birds are essentially for display, not play. Beautiful to set out in a special place at home, and conversation-starters if put out in your workspace. There are separate instruction books for each model, which contain not just the building steps but also some information about the bird itself. The assembly itself was interesting in that you are often adding pieces sideways (not brick on top of brick) so that the smooth sides of the brick are on the exposed edges. This was not a difficult model at all, each bird took me about 20 minutes to put together. The finished birds look delicate on their stands but are pretty sturdy if you handle with some care. I hope Lego brings out more sets with realistic birds and animals like this!

Purchased this for my 10 year old. It is a very beautiful set once constructed.

I bought this for myself at the Lego store and love it so much that I bought one for my mother-in-law! Its a fun build and the books information is an extra bonus!

Lego set for collector. 3 Nice birds to display. It is fun to build those 3 birds.

Very nice and a lot of fun
