Your rating doesn’t consider the missing parts. For that price range that’s a big issue. Especially when you can only tell at the end.

There wasn’t any missing parts. She was most likely the one who lost them because it is very easy to lose the pieces

[@DemonCatDaphne]

I LOVE nanoblocks! They're less protected than LEGO, so if you have anything that says "micro-sized building blocks" or something like that it's not the *legit* brand (but not all "fake" brands are bad)! This set definitely looks like a much bigger struggle than all of the ones I've done (probably because it's like a wall, not a figurine), I'd recommend going for something like the Pokémon ones if you ever want to try again! I personally like nanoblocks because I don't have a whole lot of space to keep built sets, but also wouldn't want to do a big set in one session

[@RyanAlexanC]

Me too! I bought some cheap sets from Taobao (Chinese shopping site) and made them last year and absolutely loved it. I think I actually prefer the nanoblock type set to actual Lego sets. I got a Lego set for Christmas this year and it felt like going back to using Duplo bricks

[@hollyh9569]

I've done some of the Loz mini blocks and have always found them great too, and always have spare parts and none missing! So definitely the way to go if you don't have the space for the large lego

[@kronosis2767]

Nano blocks weed out the weak.

[@Emmuzka]

Loz is my favorite micro-sized building blocks, they have wonderful designs and are a joy to assemble. It's not a toy, though, since the ready pieces break easily. Lego's patent has expired, so all these "Blego" plagiates are even legal, as long as they use the lego brand.

[@toyahailey]

Every time I thought a Lego piece was missing, I always found it in the bag (in the corner) or with extra pieces. I've been building them for years, and I've only had to contact them for missing pieces twice. So it is unfortunate that u were missing multiple important pieces.

[@marcdonnellan8730]

Same for me too, always get stuck in the corners

[@tiddlywinksthegreat459]

I bought the Temu version a while ago! And honestly, I enjoyed it. I prefer the smaller size in terms of the end result. I will say my fingers were dead after as there were actually sharp edges and had a hard time connecting the last bits. I didnt have too much trouble with the manual personally and row order, though it took me a while to figure out the colors since they are so similar. I personally had a hard time pushing my weight to connect them near the end, and the last connection between the two large pieces were so hard! I have it still and although not the most stable, I still like my model. But its not for everyone

[@Danele31]

PHENOMENAL editing! I really appreciated the comparison - interesting to see that LEGO will always be more than "knock offs", but the quality of pieces and clarity of directions is always massively better. I'd love to see you try another one of these LEGO art pieces!

[@ChloeRoseArt]

thank you!

[@jessbutterfly9801]

This looks so cool and yet so painful at the same time as an artist I recently came down with RSI and tendinitis. It was so severe I had to have injections in my wrist Palm and some area and wear a splint in both hands. It’s so debilitating I would love to do something like this, but my hand simply won’t do it and I’m only in my 30s. You did an amazing job and there’s no shame in getting help. I think it’s great that you had other people Involved.

[@TemiDansoArt]

The detail in the Lego set is incredible 🔥

[@potARTo]

omg Hi Temii!!! How are you?

[@thenoxbox3871]

As someone who’s ordered and built many micro, as well as mini, building block sets from Temu I must say that I love them. Yes they are tiny and a bit fidgety at times but once you get the hang of it the mini set are the same quality as LEGO. The micro sets are different quality but still well made. I highly recommend them.

[@EccoXile]

The smaller sets are really fun! But I did a big set once and that was literally painful, my fingers hurt so much from the sharp corners! In the end it does look cool, is very sturdy, and has kept a prominent spot on a shelf. I think it is so so important though to do it a little bit at a time. I was just doing a few pages a night. I think doing it in one go is going to test your patience and be too prone to errors! Also pushing down all the pieces every few layers massively helps (I mean that's probably what hurt my fingers more in the end) seeing the gaps in the video was so hard to watch!

[@thenoxbox3871]

@@EccoXile I agree you have to do a little at a time especially with the micro sets. Also, tweezers help out a bunch. And a little super glue here and there works wonders for certain parts/angles.

[@VickiKolman]

Thank you for saying that. I have done several now, and I absolutely adore them. But I also have not had some of the same issues, yes, they are definitely less step-by-step than Lego, but I did several micros and then went back and did a Lego set and I almost thought it was ridiculous how Each step was just a couple blocks. Of course it also felt huge. The ones I have done so far. also were decent quality and I had no problem with them fitting properly.

[@thenoxbox3871]

@@VickiKolman Have you built any of the mini street shops? Those are my favorite, what are your favorites?

[@Mar-rs8uc]

I have done several of these micro blocks figures and sets too and love them, yes they are tiny but I never found the instructions or the general assembly that difficult, that part where she mention the order was confusing, for me it was confusing just the first time, once you get the hang of it and understand the image is grey for the steps already done and then you build from the bottom to the top is very easy to follow. Other thing that was weird for me was the missing pieces part thought I have not tried this particular model, but all and I mean ALL of the models I have tried came with extra pieces as Im sure they know they are tiny and you might loose one 😂. Anyways, I think they are quite great for the money they cost and a lot of them are very cute, I even got the Pokémon or Totoro ones for my sister and she have then as decor among her shelves with the rest of her anime figures.

[@AmyJo_Rebecca]

I’ve only seen/heard bad things about TEMU, in particular they’re straight up stealing pictures and designs from artists and profiting off them themselves, so it doesn’t surprise me it was poor quality. Yes, it looked like starry night but not worth the effort in comparison to the Lego version!

[@blackrose538]

I recently built the Lego Orchid and gifted it to my mum for Mother's Day. It's just sooo pretty! As is the Starry Night set.

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Chloe, I have ordered from Temu and they are just not for better quality items. Cheap they do ok and you do get what you pay for! I was satisfied with the items that I purchased as I ordered lower quality supplies and they did not mess them up as there was not a lot of room to do so! I have wondered if anyone has been happy with their higher end knock-off items? Like this LEGO kit? Not worth the frustration to me. The editing was good. LEGO building is a very hard editing task! I am not sure how this style would work with your regular artwork but you could certainly give it a try if you wanted or you liked it, me, not so much. I do love your videos and your can-do attitude and your effervescent style, you are a true treasure! Thank you again for sharing this experience with us. Amazingly done!

[@amandagermany5933]

You fought that mini set for way longer than I would have. It would have been in the bin at about an hour. The Lego brand one is awesome.

[@erinhthorn]

If you really miss a piece, contact Lego and they will send you the missing part for free. Happened to me and it worked perfectly.

[@kalemarnica32]

Same here, really easy process too!

[@kdtfiles1]

I love micro block builds - done about 50 sets. Once you get use to the build style (in multiple layers per each numbered step) you can blast thru builds relatively quickly... Try building sets that have creatures with floppy ears or legs, or waterfalls that are holding up floating land. I plan on building this set soon.

[@ambsquared]

If you contact Lego, they will should the missing pieces. You will need to get the part # from the back of the booklet. Usually in Lego sets, I have extra pieces. I usually find if I am missing a piece, I find it stuck in one of the plastic bags. Only once can I recall not finding a piece in my big Ferrari F40 kit. A single red tile was missing, and could not find it anywhere, but it is a fairly common one. I had another from an other Lego set.

[@sharkgoddess]

I have that Starry Night Lego set, and it is my favorite Lego set ever!!! It took me two days to get mine built, but it’s totally worth it…now it’s hanging on my wall and I get to enjoy it every day. 💜

[@brittany6910]

Especially when you compare it to the other one, the lego one looks so good. I didn't expect it to be so 3D, I thought it'd be much flatter. Also I really enjoyed this new style of editing!

[@noradennis4361]

I admire your tenacity in doing both sets. Especially the second one since there were so many pieces missing. I hope you'll do The Great Wave one. I'm half tempted to get Legos Starry, Starry Night as I love the original painting and I've always loved Legos. Maybe if it goes on sale. 🙂

[@pissum420]

If you go on to the customer support page Lego offers to send you any missing pieces completely free. I’ve used it a few times since a lot of sets my mom buys for my baby brother end up missing a piece or he loses it and still demands I build it right.

[@user-vw2qg5dd1k]

advice : you might think the pieces are missing but I think you can switch the pieces or some might actually might be missing ,if some parts are flimsy try to hold it good ,now for the transparent pieces, in the instruction it might be light blue

Some of it's literally the same stuff you get in big box stores, just without the middle man. Like how a lot of art sets are repackaged from a single manufacturer. Temu isn't manufacturing that stuff. It's already being made somewhere and sellers are just posting it up

OP is basically not comfortable because it is very clearly something done by overworking people or with the best quality of materials. Shein got flak in the past for having lead in clothes. They aren't saying don't buy from Temu, but that they don't feel comfortable themselves buying there.

@ChloeRoseArt i know this is an old video, but i think i found your missing piece. At 11:00, when you were comparing the size of the orange Lego piece removers, there was a Lego piece still attached to the orange Lego remover. I think that may be your missing Lego. I could be wrong, but there is a grey piece on the orange remover.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

This is trippy timing as I just started building the Lego Starry Night on Monday, I did bags 1 & 2 then & bag 3 earlier today, so this was a bit like seeing spoilers lol. I've not been timing it because I'm watching at at the same time lol. I've built some pretty huge builds from them, so my advice is to take plenty of breaks: it'll save your fingers, eyes, bum & back (from sitting so long). Lego instructions have always been pretty good, but I feel like they have even improved over the last few years too. That said, because it was working layer but layer for that 3D effect, some of the pages added a lot of pieces all in one go/image (a couple of times I've missed a piece and had to go back, but for the most part it works out) I guess it's just I'm more used to their books that tell me to add three pieces in one step rather than 12 lol, but it does make sense here because of the way the layers are set up. Any time I think I was missing a piece it always turned out to be hidden under the booklet (also, am I the only one who spends 10 minutes organising the pieces into colours before starting? I find it so much less frustrating when looking for pieces). I have also been fascinated with how they built up the 3D element too, there has been some clever engineering going on in the design process, because that's all part of the aesthetic too it makes it very different to say the builds like quinjet I just built last week, a lot of which is mostly unseen structure that then gets covered with the aesthetic pieces, which is all different again from the big buildings. I'd also like to add something that Chloe didn't mention, but the first couple of pages of the booklet gives some interesting info about Van Gogh. Interestingly for me, I have a little booklet from years ago that didn't mention some of the things in it. Like how he had epilepsy. And I hadn't realised just how freaking prolific an artist he was in his relatively short life. Painting over 900 oil paintings alone (I believe over the 20 years). A Starry Night he painted while he was in an asylum that he'd checked himself into for his faltering health and he was painting it from memory because he wasn't able to see the sky at night. The tree is apparently a Cypress Tress, which the booklet says is an allegory for death, hinting hat perhaps he knew his death was approaching faster than it should be for a man in his mid 30s. He produced around 150 pieces in that last year when he was in the hospital (having been encouraged by the doctors to keep up his art for his own wellbeing). That level of output is wild to me, I know people who take months to produce just one painting. In comparison, that Temu build looked kind of hellish the whole point is that the pieces need to hold together, someone forgot to think that through. On the face of it $20 sounds great for what you're getting there, however I'd say someone clearly tried to do a version of the Lego one (I can't say rip-off can I?) For as cheap as possible, unfortunately it's shows, because Lego have big teams of people who work on these builds to ensure they make sense and are workable. Obviously I've not tried building their version, but it doesn't look like anywhere as much thought went into the design process and definitely not into the instructions. I'm looking forward to finishing my Lego Starry Night off and seeing the finished piece, I need to figure out how I'm gonna display it. Oh,Chloe, if you have missing pieces, contact the Lego customer service, they're apparently usually pretty good according to my brother (as long as you're not obviously pulling something by saying there are like dozens of pieces missing). I've never needed to message them as I've never missed a piece. I think you just have to look up the codes in the back of the booklet for the missing piece(s).

Just leaving a comment, just got to the point Chloe said she couldn't get her brother's help.

I opened the set and saw that the pieces were way too small for me to handle. Thankfully, I didn't open any bags, so I put the bags back in the box and re sealed it. Still need to sell the set over 5 years later, which I would rather use that money to save for a big Lego set or maybe some retired parts to finish some projects I don't know.

But then again, I have tried many different brands and am used to different "mindsets" but as someone who's not used to them it is extra annoying. And Lego is just too expensive. They have been jacking up their prices in the last few year unreasonably and are quite stagnant in their "innovations".

Temu items always appear bigger in the photo than they actually are

when you said small I imagined small, not ABSOLUTELY TINY!!! 😮😮my patience could never 😂

These are considered nanoblocks size… I’m ok with the size and I’ve done a huge nanoblock knockoff project before and while I did get some pieces in the set that were mangled, I wasn’t really missing much/any piece and I had no trouble finishing it up. Instructions… I didn’t remember having too much trouble with it either. It sucks ti hear that this set was so bad! There are many different companies doing these knockoffs and the one that made this set certainly did a terrible job! Lego sets are sooo cool, but also sooo expensive. And I also have nowhere to display them after building (and also still have a ton of nanoblocks to build) so… I better NOT fall into another rabbit hole!

LEGO have a form online where you can request the blocks that were missing :) They have fantastic customer support.

Thank you for doing this video. I like doing the Lego sets and had considered buying the smaller versions. I now know there is no way I could do the micro sets. I enjoyed viewing this video.

I would have both given up and set the Temu one on fire. Y'all are stronger people than I am! lol

[@ChloeRoseArt]

funnily enough we both talked about doing that with the Temu one 😂

[@ElizabethHoward]
