  Amazing Detailing. Great Price. A++++

  This is definitely one of the coolest, most detailed sets I’ve ever bought. The interior of the console and TV have pieces of a variety of colors which add some pizazz to this set. The detailing include all of the cable slots, as well as, the switches and dials. I love that you could insert the game inside the Console. It would have been cooler if there were another cable connecting the TV to the Console. There are only three big stickers. All of the small pieces are printed. There is virtually no repetition. The crank works perfectly and the added Mario figure glides through with no issues. Overall this set is definitely recommended for any LEGO or Mario fan

  Awesome Set / Mechanism Issue

  Purchased for: Self

  I had seen YouTube videos of the mechanism not working for so many. Many people even had their own mods. I was building the TV and my fiancé the NES. I told her that as soon as she finished building the mechanism we had to test it out. Well the mechanism was not working at all for 1hr we tried looking to see if she did something wrong in the build but everything was 100% correct as the instructions. Well that's the thing. They should update the instruction manual on page 42 step 49 of the NES. If you notice carefully piece 6331441 at the bottom cross area one side is hollow and one side is flat. Someone recommended on YouTube to flip that piece, and that's when I notice the two sides are different. Center of Mass played a big role here. The way page 42 has it the hollow part would be facing the front of the NES. That will cause the mechanism to not work at all (at least in our case we have 100% failure with this orientation. We rotate the gray Cross Block 6331441 so the flat surface is facing the front of the mechanism. That solved the problem for us and we now have 100% success rate so far. See picture. Other than that this set is awesome, I am half way done with the build, I'll continue in 2 days from now. I never had Lego sets growing up and now at 28 my fiancé and I decided to start buying Lego sets this year and start building them together. I had only build two Legos sets before 2021, I was 25 when I got my first Lego set ever lol I grew up with the super Nintendo but it's still the same nostalgic feeling. Thank you Lego for this set seriously!!!

  This set is incredible! My son (6) and I built it together and both of us had a great time. There’s lots of different build techniques involved. The scene did take a bit of time as we aligned everything neatly but it’s worth it! The only downside is right at the end when you realise the stand doesn’t connect to the TV. It makes it realistic in terms of having a TV sat on a stand but I’d like to have it stuck together because I worry I’ll be the one to knock it off! Building the Nintendo brought back a lot of memories for me and playing with Lego Mario on the TV set has made new ones for us both. The clicker behind the dial is genius! This set will 100% astound our friends and we’re so glad we have it.

  This little beauty has been sat in my cupboard of joy for far too long and seeing as I had almost 2 weeks off work (11 days if we are being precise) I decided it was time he came out and got built. I fully expected to have to spread this over 2 days but got it done in one rather late night session. Admittedly I no longer part sort, I just tip each numbered bag in to a couple of plastic tubs for easy fishing through so that speeded things up immeasurably. I had a few issues building the internal mechanism for the cartridge return. The spring is so strong when built it kept popping the bricks out of place so I had to do a bt of one handed building whilst I held it in place. Once the layer of securing bricks goes in place though it really does stay put. Even better when built it genuinely works and feels sturdy and certainly had no breakage issues with repeated use. The booklet does say the designers tested it thousands of times to make sure it woudl keep working and that certainly paid off. For me the highlight of the build was making the scrolling screen. Then again the highlight of the modular building sets is always tiling the front of the street, so I'm weird. Took me maybe an hour to construct the screen but it was really good fun and I enjoyed watching it all come together. Even better because I have recently built the Crawler Crane the tracking was a familiar mechanism as it is the same as the one used for caterpiller tracks. The only iffy bit for me was fitting the TV to the stand. If you don't have your grey straights in the correct place on the bottom of the TV there is nowehre to secure the stand to. I simply turned the TV upside down and lined them up that way, definitely works and at no time have I felt like the TV is going to fall off it's stand. There are a couple of stickers included in the kit. Fortunately they are the large ones for the back of the TV and for the game cartridge. Everything else is preprinted. I dread to think how hard it would have been to get stickers on all the little bits and bobs on the TV screen. Really interesting build with some new to me techniques and generally gives a great all over finish. Displayed it looks wonderful. Even better is when you put the Super Mario figure on the top and then run the scroll. No need to load the Super Mario App either which is a bonus. Number Of Pieces: 2646 Approximate Price Per Piece: £0.08 Build Time: Console - 3 Hours TV - 3.5 Hours
