Tenhorses Up Flying House with Balloons Building Sets, 787Pcs Tensegrity Toys Balloon House Building Kit for 8-14 Years Old, Mother Day Birthday Gifts for Boys Girls Mom Adults

PROS:I love this set. I was worried about the quality because it is not actual "lego". I am not at all disappointed. I grew up with legos I love legos, my children love legos. The quality of the blocks are almost identical to "LEGO".I like that they included a larger scale model of the bird and the dog. As well as the scale to the house versions.I honestly can't say enough good things about this. Someone thought this through very well. The detail on the house is great. It's only missing the hose on the side.CONS:1. Carl Fredricksen was not included in the set. You get two mini figures, neither are him.2. The instructions confused me in two spots. When putting the balloons on and the chains.3. The chains, it does 100% work, however I did run into an issue with one side attaching. I had to take the long white piece out, flip it over and turn it around. The other three holes were to loose, the chain would not stay in. when connecting the balloons, it seems to have some of the steps out of order.Final and other thoughts:I love this idea, I hope they make other things like this.For what I think would be obvious reasons, the colors of the bird are a little off, and the dog(not dug ;)) is a little more orange than I would like. Still built accurately though.It's on a shelf above my desk. It looks great up close and far away.The suspension system is cool, but they could have just used clear posts to hold it up.........? still looks really cool.I greatly appreciate that this exists.

My family member had the Disney version and this set is close to being exact minus 40 bucks. Also, if you are like me, you do not collect these, just like doing them with your kids...you can take this apart later and throw it in your big ol bin of original legos because they are the same pieces without the lego name on them😄 It is a very cute set but the roof was a little tricky for us. It stays together well. Definitely recommend 😊

Picked this up because the name brand version is missing the tensegrity aspect which I think is a cool principle that should be in more sets.Fit of the parts was decent but missing the satisfying, "click" from the name brand. Minor fit issues where some parts were tight, others loose. Not affecting the overall build but a bit of an annoyance.Like other off-brand sets, the price vs. value is there, as long as you manage your expectations.

Really happy with this purchase. Definitely slightly more challenging to build it than LEGO (numbering of the bags doesn’t correlate with steps) but it’s all worth it at the end. Love it !

An extraordinary set that is a pleasure to build and contemplate afterward. A great gift too.I bought the same set with a different brand name, but Tenhorses gives you two more characters that by themselves are amazing, especially the dog.Also is unbelievable the amount of extra pieces you end up with.I just bought two more, because this is an extraordinary gift for any occasion.

This is the first time building a set. It was fun to do. Follow the directions carefully. I skipped by accident a few times and had to take apart the pieces which was hard for me. Had my daughter take those little pieces apart. This came out so nice!

It came out perfect but it wasn’t easy. The parts were in numbered bags but they didn’t end up being in there. It was a cluster and profanity was dropped but I finished it. My only other comment is when the house is “floating” it is top heavy and the slightest movement will tip it.

It was a great surprise for an almost eight year old boy!
