My niece wanted a house for her Shopkins. I was leery about the overly "girly" feel of it, since genderized colors can have such a negative impact on young minds, particularly little girls'. And I know Lego is a bad proponent of this. But given the color scheme of my niece's Shopkins, it seemed a little too late to stop the indoctrination. The next Lego set I get her will definitely be more primary colors.I'm very satisfied with the product itself. Lego's are infallible when it comes to ease of construction and quality control. There's always extra parts included. Wasn't too keen on the main features of the castle being a bedroom with a vanity mirror stocked with lipstick and a recording studio. It might as well have been a pianoforte. The Little Mermaid was known for her voice and all, but she made a point of not performing. Also, a piano and microphone under the sea... Just why? The first thing my niece asked was whether the mermaids would be electrocuted. Together, we ditched the mermaids, lipstick, and instruments. Her Shopkins didn't needs them. More slides and trap doors would have been nice instead.This set isn't straight out of the movie like most other Lego sets seem to be. But with that said, it's still a great set that I'm sure anybody would enjoy.My niece love the Little Mermaid so I bought this set for her and I to play with. I really like that there's an additional mermaid (not sure of her name) plus Sebastian (the lobster) and Flounder (the fish).Definitely would recommend this set to all Disney Princess lovers and Lego fans alike!My granddaughter asked for this lego set for her birthday. Why are lego's so expensive? I almost didn't purchase it as the price was prohibitive. I found a great price on Amazon( almost $100 cheaper than Walmart) and even though it was on back order, it arrived in plenty of time for her birthday. She was thrilled and set about putting it together right away. Her joy was wonderful but my wallet is still wondering if I did the right thing.I am an adult collector of The Disney Princess Lego sets, and was very impressed with this one. It does come with quite a few pieces, so if you are buying it for a child, be aware that they will probably need some level of adult help unless they are familiar with Lego building sets. The Lego figures are adorable. I pariticularly like the Flounder little figure.The kit comes with a tool that is very helpful should you accidentally put any pieces together that aren't meant to be together. It's espicially useful should you put two flat pieces together and find they need to come apart.Overall the kit is a cute little addition to the Disney Princess Lego line.My 3 year old daughter watches her sisters play with their princess Legos all the time. One time she snuck and played with their Legos for 2 hours! I was sold on getting her some.She already had all the princess duplo ones but didn't play with them much. She had the junior set of Legos but still wasn't too interested in hers. And since Ariel is her fav princess she got these for her 4th birthday. She loves them and has played for hours pretending with them.I highly recommend the girl Legos for any age girl.I purchased this set for my grandniece who is 11 yrs old and is into mermaids. She has a number of other Lego Friends play sets and was able to assemble it herself while we watched. She thanked us verbally as well as sending us a lovely card expressing her thanks. These play sets can teach a child valuable skills in following directions. I'm sure I would have trouble putting it together. The play set obviously is a big hit! I will be looking for more to give her as gifts.My daughter bought this with her birthday money and was very excited to get her castle, as Ariel is her favorite princess. She opened the box and got part of the way through the instructions only to find it missing many pieces. She put it away and just didn't play with it. The set also came with some seemingly extra pieces that we could not figure out how they related to the set. We love legos, but were disappointed with this set.I got this as a gift for my granddaughter's birthday, along with another princess lego set, and my granddaughter told me that she liked my gift the best of all! A couple of weeks later, she told me how much fun that she said how much she enjoyed them. That is the best review that I can get, and I pass it on to you!Exactly what I ordered. My granddaughter's is going to love it for Christmas.I love my Lego!Beautiful with lots details.It's got a slide for the crab.A+ little girl very happy
