Got the light kit installed this afternoon. My daughter and I had a fun time with this set. The light kit really makes it pop.
I don't build a lot of Lego, but I have had a lot of fun with the botanicals and this set was brilliant
Yeah some of them are really great. My daughter and I visited the Japanese gardens in Portland this Summer and when I saw the set I had to get it for a fun reminder of our trip.
Looks great, OP!
Thanks!
This looks great!
How was the install? I've always worried the light kits would be difficult to install.
Mostly not too bad. It's pretty clever how they hide a bunch of the wiring under the tea house. You have to kind of braid a bunch of it and shove it under a little lego hide along with the connection board. That was tricky. I made my daughter do the braiding.
This is the second set I've done a light kit for (the first was the Daily Bugle set. Talk about jumping into the deep end...) so I kind of knew how the wiring worked with the bricks at this point. The instructions were pretty good and the wiring was pretty good as well. It didn't come with a power source and it wants a usb power source instead of a battery pack or something, but I had some old usb power blocks running around, so that was fine.
Does the light kit come with the set?
It doesn't. I bought it from light my brick
