The wings have a slight detached angle to them accomplished by ball joints, which allow them to be swivelled around slightly. Overall: 5 - It has one or two problems that come from the deep vaults of LEGO but besides that I can only judge the build on its own merits. However, I cannot fully side with your judgement:"Overall this set it is a must have set for adults.

This sort of visual representation was booted when we all upgraded from our Ataris, Sega Master Systems and Commodore 64s.The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the base where the "stick" on the birds go, putting it through the 2 holes vs a more solid connection seemed like they will fall out at times.

To encourage learning and a love for ornithology, each booklet also has a nice section with some information and interesting factoids of each bird featured in the set.However some people may not like this simply because they may look out of place if the pieces are used for your own creations. What it is is a fantastic display model and gets people thinking about what else can be built with LEGO. EU: 6115784 Availability Retail - limited Notes Based on project "LEGO Bird Project" by user 'DeTomaso'. Appeal to builders aged 9 and over with a fun gift to have in time for both spring and Easter – the LEGO® Bird’s Nest (40639) kit.

The adorable lovebirds sit on a branch decorated with pink hearts and flowers, while the big red heart symbolizes their love. I think it was a way for Lego to subversively tap the creative knowledge of millions of people for FREE.

The stand is also well designed, you can turn the Technic axle 360° to suit the owners needs of display and it can also be easily be separated.

The Blue Jay’s only bizarre fault is his legs, which is mostly constructed out of Technic parts and are fused to the platform that it’s perched upon. In this case the white and brown is showing though a small gap above the assembly of the red belly of the Robin. The jagged wings are just angled plates placed on top of one another, but gives the Hummingbird a very effective “in-motion” appearance.

The Blue Jay (Cyanocitta Cristata) is once again rendered well but this build also has minor problems. The techniques used to build the head is quite simple, stacking lots of plates onto one another but it results in a very pleasing pixelated look. Each Bird has its own stand very similar to the architecture stands but this time we have the green grass with a small pedestal for the birds to fit on. Despite being the simplest model, the Hummingbird takes the cake for the most interesting scene overall.
