Awesome showpieces!
Purchased this for my 13yr old daughter. She was very happy to receive it as we told her it was out of stock for Christmas. It took her several hours to complete all 3 builds without any difficulty. We love that some pieces are used in a different context and it totally works. Overall these are fantastic show pieces.

Delightful
I gave myself this set as a late Christmas gift and was very excited to get it. It really didn't disappoint. As a huge bug lover since childhood, it was just perfect. I loved the diversity of the bugs and the fact it's three separate stand alone to build when I get a little me time between two children naps.
The colors are vivid and fit my gaming room perfectly. My only gripe would be the scarab. I love the model but it doesn't stand very well. I had to be very careful because everytime I touched it, something would fall. I don't know if it's a me problem or the build itself, but I didn't get the same problem with the butterfly and mantis who both stand well. I can even move them easily without having to gather fallen pieces around it. Despite that, though, I loved building the scarab the most, closely followed by the mantis and finally the butterfly.

Top-tier Lego wildlife
What a phenomenal piece. Having admired the more elaborate 3-in-1 animals, and having a general appreciation for insects, picking up this reasonably-priced set was an easy decision. The models are large, vibrantly-coloured, and more intricate and detailed than any Lego wildlife set I've seen or built. The Hercules beetle actually made my wife a bit uncomfortable because of how life-like (though not to scale ;P) is it. Building experience is good, but fantastic display model that can also be easily played with if desired.

This has to be one of the most detailed and visually spectacular Lego sets I've ever done. Each insect is a beautiful piece of artwork. I am so impressed with this set and thought it was worth every penny. I hope they come out with more insects in the future!

Insects review
The butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t done the other two yet, but am looking forward to it.

Beautiful Bugs
These Lego Insects are simply beautiful. They have a strong shelf presence with their unique silhouettes and vibrant colours. The building process was a lot of fun with interesting and engaging building techniques.
This Insect set really gives a museum like feel when displayed on a shelf among other Ages 18+ Lego sets. I would gladly buy more Lego Insects if they were to produce more along this line.
Highly Recommended.

In love with this set
This set is AMAZING it’s a fun build and beautiful to look at, I love to pair them with my botanical sets. The only thing I’d say is bad is how sensitive the Hercules Beetle is. The butterfly and mantis have great clutch power but something about the beetle just isn’t as strong. (Ironic that it’s the HERCULES beetleđ)

Great for bug lovers
I bought this set for display purposes as a bug and Lego lover. The insects come together beautifully and I love that they all articulate and can be positioned in several ways. The details for each "stand" are stunning as well.
