  The assembly of this book and the two pop-up stories in the set is an especially engaging experience. A playfully designed instruction book showcases the fan designers and LEGO designers of the set, and gives a little history on pop-up books. Using hinges and swivels, the pop-up mechanic is expertly pulled off in brick form and is just as fascinating. The two story inserts are playful in design, highly interactive, and they spark new ideas. They demonstrate two uses of scale; Red Riding Hood has a pop-up cottage, and Jack & the Beanstalk has a pop-up mountain valley village in micro-scale, and a rising beanstalk in the background. The mechanical movement is impressive yet simple. These inserts give rise to more ideas for pop-up vignettes. I recently finished designing my own Star Wars scene insert and since the ideas are endless, so might be my own collection of custom story inserts.

  Thanks for sharing your review! It's great to hear that this set inspired you to create your own pop-up vignettes to put inside the book. The LEGO® Star Wars™ inspired design you shared is impressive and I hope you continue to customize the set with more stories!

  Smooth action

  Aside from looking phenomenal, the feeling/action of opening the book is very smooth. I've had no issues opening or closing the book. Having two scenes/stories is great and also allows you to always have one, even if you use the pieces to make your own. Having the bean stock rise up when you open the book is terrific and really makes this popup book go from good to excellent. Fitting the minifigures in the book when closing can be a bit hard, and that is about the worst I can say. The only nit-picky thing is I'd prefer to have had tiles on top of the book (dark green) rather than plates (with studs). I cannot wait to make my own story scenes.

  I’m 60 year old retiree w a smashed wrist requiring wrist plate w 5 screws. I bought this set (my first LEGO set) to help me get my fingers working again. Such a great experience. I made a few changes. I prefer name plates on spine. It is a joyful set beautifully crafted. I’m shopping for more brickheadz now. I forgot how much I enjoyed LEGO until now.

  I'm a fan of Red Riding Hood so I knew I wanted this set as soon as I heard out about it. It was a nice addition to have Jack and the Bean stalk also and to have all the pieces for both builds. I've opted to keep the Bean Stalk build inside the book and will use the Red Riding Hood build as a foundation for a full Grandma cottage build of my own. My only critique would be that all the dark green grass on both builds was a bit plain, would have been nice to perhaps have some stickers for grass and flowers perhaps but other then that a lovely, creative and charming build. Particularly loved the mini figs and the fireplace in the cottage was very cute. :)
