Hi fellow LEGO fans,
The other day my wife Siena got an awesome deal on a LEGO set! It was pink but that's fine, no shame in the pink game!
The LEGO set was actually pretty cool. It was a 12 in 1 set which was crazy, that's one of the biggest sets we've gotten so far. It was also the biggest one that I put together with our son! It was 553 pieces or something crazy. So many of it were tiny pieces so not sure how much that counts lol.
The little man has been asking for an ice cream truck for a while. One of his friends that he plays with has a giant one that you can ride on so he wanted that. We don't have the space nor the money for that so we tried to satisfy his desire with this. It didn't work out so well but he still had fun playing with it! The ice cream truck his friend has, funny enough, he calls the taco truck. Kids crack me up sometimes!
So it seemed with this one that there were endless bags to open! It was crazy, I tried to make some kind of organization out of it and place them into piles. That worked for the first few bags but they kept coming so I gave up and ended up just throwing all of them in the mix.
The ice cream truck had a hell of a lot of cool pieces to it like the flat squares there that might represent ice cream chests or something.
Getting the roof on slowly.. The company put a lot of detail into this set here, it was pretty challenging to build in one sitting but it was a bunch of fun.
The thing really didn't lack details! The ice cream scoops sitting there, things on the side of the truck, on the roof, menus and signs. It was definitely worth it I think. The hardest part to put together was that giant ice cream cone at the top there. The piece was exactly the right size to fit without any extra so it would slide down and hide like a turtle, little bugger.
The window was cool, it had those pillars to keep it open and stuff. They even had the music speakers on the top!
Just when I thought I was done when I had the roof on, the directions kept going! I had a hundred little pieces to put together lol it was crazy. It was a solid little build too, it didn't shatter when you were playing with it.
We even took it out on a drive with us! He took the thing everywhere, into stores and was driving it around against my better judgement. It lasted a whole two days before it got driven into a wall a few times and shattered lol I had a little anguish there but he had fun and that's what it's all about! Took me a solid 3 hours to put the thing together I think. Once I got started I was determined to finish even though we had things to do.
