ArtorBricksArtorBricks Architectural Stonehenge of England Large Collection Building Set Model Kit and Gift for Adults (753 Pieces)

I like to put kits like this together and I have a few things I look for –1 – Piece Packaging – The bricks are in three bags which do correspond to the steps in the instructions, but with 753 pieces, that is a lot of bricks per bag. This means additional sorting before building.2 – Piece size – I compare brick sizes to the popular brand. I have built items with regular, mini, and micro-mini bricks. This set is regular sized.3 – Instructions – Clear instructions make a difference in the building experience and minimize any frustration. The instruction book starts with information about Stone Henge, which is pretty cool. The steps are spread across 31 pages. The instructions are clear and have you build in a logical order.4 – Inventory and size reference – The instructions contain both. I like when instructions include a size reference for the stick like pieces.5 – Build – If the above items are good, then it is likely you will have a fun building experience.6 – Additional Notes – There are a lot of stickers to add. I understand not having custom pieces that are pre-printed, but stickers annoy me.Overall I recommend!

I am always looking for a unique brick set to add to my collection and the ArtorBricks Stonehenge set definitely meets that criteria.The set comes in a plain white box that isn't the best for gifting as it doesn't show anything except the company name. Inside you will find the manual, sticker sheets and the bags of bricks. The bags are all numbered 1-3 which follow along with the manual. The stickers aren't direct attach stickers but are the type that require you to rub them onto the bricks. There are plenty of extras so you don't have to worry about mis-placing them here and there.The manual, while easy to follow when it comes to bricks needed for each step and the location they are to be places. It was very detailed and there was not a single time where I put an assembly in the wrong spot. The biggest issue I had with it was that there is a single page before the actual assembly pages begin that details the parts that require single/double sided stickers to be placed, which is great. Unfortunately, you won't get to those pieces until the second and third bags. When you do, you will simply see the brick count for the specific step with the sticker already placed on it but doesn't detail if it is a single or double sided piece so you will have to go back and refer to that page. It was a bit frustrating.The bricks themselves are all Lego compatible and you get a few dozen extra parts. They do NOT, however, go together as easily as Lego bricks. The biggest problem was with the base itself. I was using a brick hammer and, even with that, the base doesn't sit perfectly flat. There are gaps and raised bricks all around the entire top. It's the main reason for my 4 star review. I didn't have too many issues when doing the actual model after the base though. Some parts did require some extra pressure to get them together, but nothing major. The age range shows 16+ but I think that younger teenage builders would have no problem with the build.The end model looks VERY cool! I have never been to the real site, but this all of the bits do make it look as realistic as you can get with building blocks. If you are looking for a unique set that will make a great display piece, this set is a great model. Definitely worth the $42 asking price in my humble opinion.

I really enjoyed putting this set together. The instruction booklet is very clear and easy to follow. It even contains some neat information about the actual Stonehenge. Nice rub-on stickers to give the bricks a stone appearance. Absolutely no complaints about this one!!

Fun set to put together - instructions were adequate. It is not a complicated set to build. Quality is not up to name brand bricks, but it's not terrible. Probably a good set for history buffs or teachers.

I found this a fun and interesting build. The instructions were very good; but initially I missed the part about which pieces to put the different stickers on. By the time I realized it, I was a bit into the portion with the stones, so I just passed on using the stickers. I enjoyed the information on Stonehenge that was included in the build manual a nice addition. The placard and the chains on the corners a nice touch as well. There were a few places where the pieced took a little extra effort to put into place and a few where the pieces were a touch loose; but for the price range and the size of the build, none of it was anything I steer others away from.

This set was so much fun to build, the stickers were a little complicated to put on and I wish the design was printed on the bricks instead but overall it's still a great set and looks so cool displayed.

The Stonehenge of England Kit is a fun project, perfect for people who enjoy ancient history, model building, traveling, and more. The instructions are relatively easy to understand, though some sections could benefit from expanded details.As a lover of historical landmarks and archaeology, I appreciated the informational section at the beginning of the instruction booklet. It would be cool if those pages were removable for reference.The tool in the beginning of the instruction booklet is found in bag 1-3, but it would make more sense for it to be in its own bag or with the base structure components.The texture stickers add dimension to the flat design, which I appreciate.Overall, it's a great kit and I would definitely recommend it.

This building set is really nice. Instructions were fairly easy to follow, took a while to get it together. Was a good way to spend a rainy afternoon. Love the finished look. Great for anyone who loves to build stuffs
