Manchester City Etihad Stadium 3D Puzzle

I bought this for my 18 year old son for Christmas. It took him approximately 2 1/2 hours to build, a bit longer than it states in the advert. It is not like the conventional 3D puzzle. The parts come in flat pack form which are numbered both on the card and on the base, although the numbers on the base are very small. The instructions are a bit daunting when you first look at them, but on closer inspection are adequate enough to follow. Some of the pieces are a bit fiddly to fit in, but it clips together nicely to make a sturdy item. Overall this is a great item for someone who enjoys a challenge but I wouldn't recommended it for a novice.Pros: A good challenge and a great looking, sturdy item when built.Cons: Instructions on how to build it aren't immediately clear - a 7 year old may need someone older to help.

Really lovely model. My 9 year old son and I built this in a few sittings, perhaps took 4 hours in all. Instructions could have been better, but the quality of the bits is really good. They have even responded to prior reviews on Amazon by now including the silver cabling in the kit.Lots of detail. Looks great when finished, and is now hunk as wall art on my sons bedroom wall.

Very good product with a great looking end but is quite difficult at the end. Also some of the pieces are to flimsy. In the end great value for money

Very good product for my grandson. He enjoyed the building process and was pleased with the result.

My grandson was delighted with this

fantastic quality, takes a little while to build and the odd bit here and there is a bit fiddly with sausage fingers. Ordered some Silver Thread as well so I can complete the build (the metal wire around the stadium is not provided) Liked this so much I even bought my brother the Anfield one :)

A bit fiddly to piece together, but looks good when done. My son (8) needed a lot of help to construct this.

This is an awful puzzle, just wasted about 2 hours of my life trying to put this together for my 9 year old son (who would have no chance of doing this himself) only to chuck it away. The more you construct it the more fiddly it gets and becomes almost impossible to put the pieces in without snapping or bending pieces already built. Very disappointing, definitely not worth the money. (And I am not one to give up on things easily so this has really left me annoyed!!!)
