My better half bought this from K-mart here in NZ, to make herself, her thought process was targeted at 6 years olds so shouldn't be to difficult and be a simple build... boy was she wrong, she gave up on it and I had to finish it and it took me 4 or 5 goes at it. Parts would fall off as you are trying to connect pieces together, it is too fiddly and the stickers way to small I ended up only putting on the the larger ones...   

While the finished product is colourful and interesting to look at the payoff is not worth the frustration of the actual build. A six year would not have been able to put it together without having a tantrum and throwing it across the room, I nearly did. It was not an enjoyable build at all and as stated the payoff is not worth it.
