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.

      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.
