LEGO Ideas 21316 The Flintstones Building Kit (748 Pieces)

I love it nothing is wrong with it

A walk down memory lane!

This was bought for my nephew.

What is there not like about. Fun and easy to assemble.

What a cute set. I was entertained by Fred, Wilma, Betty and Barney for some years lol 10 y.o. grandson had a great time putting this together, just in a few hours too had has never seen the cartoon. The only think we noticed was there wasnt a Dino and Im sure we will meet Pebbles, Bam-Bam and Dino in a future kit lol Is there going to be kits from all the adult cartoons weve had over the years? Im looking forward to The Jetsons lol

Great

Lots of fun and looks great. Brings back the nostalgia of your childhood

Had a few difficult areas but overall a decent set of Legos

Everyone knows the Flintstones, many of us grew up watching the show, or weve seen it somewhere along the way. This set is one of the latest in the Ideas line, which made it from fan suggestion all the way to an actual official LEGO product. The design is clever, its a fun build, and the minifigures are great! The set depicts the home of the Flintstones, which is a stone building with a tilted roof, just like in the cartoon, along with the Flinstones iconic car. The set even includes the dinosaur ribs from the opening sequence which tips the car over! Who doesnt love recreating their favorite scenes in LEGO? The set is a fantastic value for parts, given that it well exceeds the standard price-per-part ratio. 748 pieces for $60 is a great value. The downside is that there really arent any particularly hard to find parts, and virtually no unique parts. The only unique parts to the set are the few printed parts, the cloth top to the car, and of course, the minifigures. The animal print parts for the curtains of the home will definitely come in handy in other creative builds, thats for certain! The build itself is relatively simple, with the highlight being the interior of the home. The sofa and television are cute, as is the telephone, but my favorite is the clever usage of the cloud shaped minifigure base from the Unikitty collectible minifigure line as the table top! It really does double as a stone table top very well, and I love it! The bowling pins are a great addition, as is the palm tree. There are only two improvements that I would have made with this set. First, I think that the front of the Flintstone home is too plain. Some sort of texture to it would make it much more appealing. As it is designed, it is just a flat blank wall. Thats an easy enough thing to fix. The other is that theres something just a little off for me with the minifigures. I love them, dont get me wrong, but Fred and Barney could have been better in my mind. Wilma and Betty work perfectly, but I think Barney would have benefitted from the shorter minifigure legs, and I think moulded heads for both Fred and Barney would have been a huge improvement. Their heads are so square shaped in the show, having them in the standard round minifigure shape just doesnt quite hit the mark for me. Of course, if they had been newly moulded heads, the set would have cost more, so there is certainly that trade-off. All in all, this is another fantastic set from the Ideas line, and the Flintstone family are welcome in my LEGO collection any day!

Absolute blast of a build, amazing piece of lego and flintstones history. Such a great purchase!
