LEGO 75578 Avatar Metkayina Reef Home, Building Toy With Village, Canoe, Pandora Scenes, Neytiri And Tonowari Minifigures, The Way Of Water Movie Set

 This is a very intricate lego kit, and this is a either a plus or a minus depending on how you prefer to build a lego set. There are a lot of 1×1 pieces in this set, and building takes a lot of attention to detail. One particular step my 11 year old test subject found too fiddly (the flower grotto) and the final assembly relies on earlier steps having been built correctly. There are no big blocks in this set, and the larger structural components like the brown supporting legs are pre-made large mouldings rather than built up of bricks. The intricate design and tiny bricks used in assembly make it rather limited as a collection of lego. Once you’ve broken this down there’s not a lot else you can really build with it. It’s also really easy to lose the smaller bricks!

The final assembly is a bit delicate, the large canopy for example is held up by a single lego brick support, and it doesn’t survive play very well once finished. It’s lego, so of course this doesn’t matter too much, but if this is going to be played with you can expect it to get dismantled quite quickly.

If you want this for display though, it looks fantastic. The underwater reef is really nicely done and imaginative, and looks really good out on display.

Build time for my test child was about an hour and a half, and there was a bit of frustration at the intricacy needed for the build but a great level of satisfaction once it was done.

If you want a reasonably challenging build with a genuinely pretty final build for display, then this is a great set. If you want a set of lego to build other stuff with, as well as the main assembly, it’s not very flexible.

They can be positioned in different ways to recreate scenes from the movie, making it a great addition to any LEGO and Avatar fan’s collection.
The set also includes several Pandora scenes, such as a bioluminescent mushroom forest, a small waterfall, and a river. These scenes are beautifully designed, with a variety of colors and shapes that are reminiscent of the movie’s world. They provide additional opportunities for imaginative play and help to add to the sense of immersion.
