BRICKKK Computer Building Set for Adults: Construction Building Kit for Adults, Collectible Retro Computer Display Model Building Blocks, Creative Hobbies Unique Gift Idea

If you go into building this set understanding that this is not Lego, I think you will be very pleased. It's not quite a 5 star set, but definitely higher than 4 star. Pros: 1. One of the best things about this set is the fact that almost every detail piece (i.e. the capacitor caps, the chips for the motherboard, the keyboard keys) are ALL printed. These very easily could have been stickers to save money, but there are literally dozens of printed pieces that up the quality of the set. 2. This is a very detailed kit: a motherboard, separate graphics card, power supply, floppy drive, CD drive, ports, etc. For those of us who have ever built a computer back in the 90's, this will bring back a lot of memories. 3. There is a lot of play value in the kit. The graphics card is removable, the floppy drive and CD drive both have working eject buttons with appropriate storage media, and the screen can be switched from the built in MineSweeper mechanic to a Windows or DOS screen using a cardboard insert. 4. The price is definitely a great selling point. It seems to list normally for $89.99, but when I bought it there was a $10 coupon, another 10% off offer, and I had a few dollars in Amazon points, so I paid just over $70. But I think it is worth it at the $90 price. The listing says there are 1,634 pieces, so that makes each piece 5.5¢; even cheaper if you can get any of the discounts I was able to use. 5. This is not a small set once assembled. The shelving I have it displayed in uses 13" cubes, and it fills the space extremely well. You can see in the picture what I mean. 6. Something that I think is better than what you would find in a Lego set: any plate or tile shown through the instruction book tells you the dimensions (2X8, 4X16, etc.) ALONG with the picture of it. This was a really nice feature. Cons: 1. As I started off, this is not Lego, so you will notice that the quality of the bricks is not the same. In general, they are good, but you will notice that there is far more flex in the plastic than you would get from Lego. It does affect the build a bit; i.e. the large tiles can have trouble connecting, you might notice space between adjacent bricks, etc. 2. The overall design of the set is extremely well thought out, but it is not perfect. There were definitely a couple of places where the build probably should have been modified for better structural support. Once the set is complete, it is not an issue, but there were a couple of times when things fell apart because they weren't supported properly. 3. The instruction book is high quality and full color, but it does put a lot more assembly into each step as opposed to what you would see in a Lego instruction book. Frankly, if you are used to building larger Lego sets, this will not be an issue for you, but younger builders may end up missing things. A cost saving measure, I'm sure. 4. There are two stickers in the set: one for the floppy disc, and one for the MineSweeper game screen. The floppy disc sticker is fine; yes, it goes over multiple pieces, but it is not so big that you would be bothered by it. The MineSweeper game screen sticker, on the other hand, would cover DOZENS of pieces, meaning that once you put it on, you could not take that part of the set apart again. The card stock it came on was strong enough that I just used some tape to affix it to the set, so that I could remove it without damaging either the sticker or the pieces, but I feel like that was the only time I was a bit disappointed with the set. So, like I said, this is not Lego, but it is not pretending to be. Despite the relatively minor issues I listed, this set was a lot of fun to build. These sets are well thought out, look great when assembled, and offer a great experience at a MUCH more reasonable price. You won't be disappointed if you get this set. I am sure I will be getting more from Pantasy in the future.

I am loving building this set with my son, it's super fun and I love the details in it. He is fascinated with old tech and loves the look of this computer. The instructions are easy to follow as well.

The Computer had a lot of details and was really neat to see it put together.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband. He says that it is very cool. He's not sure when he will finish it as there are many pieces to it. The instructions are in Japanese, but they picture based just like LEGO thankfully.

Good details, end product a little flimsy. My dad's obsessed with Lego, really wanted to try this one out and was impressed!

This was a fun build. The pieces were in clearly labeled bags and were good quality. The build took a few casual hours and was fun to put together. 4/5 stars, knocking off a star because some of the pieces of the pc case didn’t latch together as well as Lego would, and the directions weren’t quite as easy to follow. The being said, this was worth the purchase and I’d buy Pantasy brand sets again.

The CPU cooler holder took me back in late 90s. The PC has "circuits" inside, with a BIOS chip, CPU an old school passive heatsink. Everything. Very nostalgic. Remind you of early pentium/486 days. Now I wish there was an original IBM ps/2 version

My son love this. He has this on display. Didn’t take long to put together. Great as a Christmas gift

Highly recommended. Read other reviews for tips and tricks. Was fun to assemble and all parts were present. Highly recommend.
