Ottimo per un fan di Miyazaki ma come qualita di mattoncini non tiene il confronto con Lego comunque un buon set con uno SPLENDIDO carillon

Loved this!!! Definitely a good rainy day activity and worth the time to build. My only issue would be the cloud pieces being loosely in the slots so they kind of are loosey goosey as the mechanics churn and move. I see where some people said the big gold gear on the center pole doesn’t turn, but it does just very slowly as the entire castle rotates.

I bought it as a gift for my Brother and He loves it.

To be 100% honest there were some parts i would have changed but over all im super happy with the end result was a lot of fun building and its working just fine

Super fun and beautiful build. I knocked off a star because the directions are a bit unclear in a few areas and the music box isn't strong enough to make the castle move like advertised. Some of the gears don't catch right as well. It's absolutely beautiful though even without it moving.

very fun build, however there were some pictures in the instructions that were unclear on placement, and i also noticed that some of them have additional blocks, especially when adding blocks to the underside of the model. additionally, as seen in the video, the castle itself doesn’t turn - it seems like the gear that is mean to grip onto the pole and turn it doesn’t have enough grip - I’ve tried multiple times to adjust it so it turns however nothing seems to work :(( every thing else mechanical works fine however, and the music box itself looks like it’s of a fairly good quality. also, i did get a couple pieces that were mangled in the production process, however it was a relief there was a little pack of spares and the pieces i needed were in it. overall it’s a fine model, it just doesn’t have the dynamic aspect that i was hoping for due to the rotation not happening

It was a present for my daughter, it arrived super fast and she loved it.

The project was so fun to do with my partner. I got it for them for Christmas and we did it that evening while watching The Witcher season 2. Was amazing fun and so cute ! Would defintely get more stuff from this brand again! :D

Arrived on time and a really nice build.
Some of the pieces are a bit harder to put in place (the long metal piece, for instance), which tends to jam the mecanism a little bit. But other than that, it's really pretty, the music box is working perfectly and I'm quite satisfied.

I greatly enjoyed the process of putting this piece together, but my music box does not work! And therefore the whole turning mechanism does not work. I sent an email to support to see if I could get a new one but never got a response. Overall I like it, I just want it to work :(

I really enjoyed the whole process of building this. The set was more complicated than I anticipated (which was great!). They really should make more Studio Ghibli building sets.
Being that this wasn't Lego, I was very, very impressed. It was pretty much the same thing, if not very close.
The combination of the building blocks, along with the sign, the gear mechanism, and the musical box was brilliant.
The sets could potentially be larger and more complication in nature, but that's just me being picky.
I suggest the next set should be the bathhouse from 'Spirited Away' or Howl's castle from 'Howl's Moving Castle'.

Its a lovely set, however the musicbox doesnt play... im not sure whats wrong with it; but its a bit of a let down
Danny D.
Loved the quality and the easy to follow instructions. Looks fantastic.

the delivery was fast and the step to step booklet was very helpful and made it very easy to assemble. the music box doesn't look cheap or anything like that so in my opinion its worth the money if you are a fan of the story.

Would definitely buy another set! Was super fun to build

A fun build that was wonderful to sit down and relax to. I really loved the cleverness of the mechanism and how the gears worked together. It did get frustrating a few times - the blocks/holes don't quite lock as well as I'd hoped, and I had to delicately rebuild a few parts. The turning is a little clunky, it took a bit of finagling and working backwards to figure out why the gears weren't turning initially. You really have to wind the music box in order for the structure to turn! All in all, however, I think it's still a lovely addition to anyone's hobby and home. I need to find a new dust case for it now!

Missing parts. Who do I contact?

Great fun to build! The model looks awesome. The mechanism that makes it turn is powered by the music box and it struggles a little bit to turn. With a bit of encouragement (by turning one of the gears on the back) it turns smoothly while playing the lovely tune.

I was a little hesitant this would be less quality than Legos as they are the big name in this type of product, but the quality blew me away, and the build offered a solid challenge and a lot of fun! The final product works and looks great!
