My Review of Pikachu Building Set (AliExpress vers.)
If you're looking for a fun project that won't break the bank, this Pikachu set from AliExpress is a fantastic alternative to the name-brand version.
This was an incredibly fun construction process. It took me roughly three days to complete, dedicating about two/three hours each day.
I didn’t have any missing pieces; in fact, there were quite a few spare parts left over. The manual is very clear and easy to follow.
Although the print is quite small, the steps are logical (very similar to the Eevee set I reviewed previously).
The colors are spot-on and match the original perfectly. While the brick quality isn't quite at the level of official LEGO, they are still very good and snap together securely.
It includes the heart-shaped tail (female Pikachu) along with the specific piece required to mount it.
The Poké Ball actually has a mechanism that allows it to stay closed properly.
One of the best features is the versatility. You can display Pikachu on the lightning-bolt pedestal, or you can remove him and use an included support piece to let him stand on his own.
Given the bargain price of just €45, this is an absolute "must-build" for any Pokémon fan. The value for money is unbeatable considering the size and detail of the finished piece.
