New set 71742

So I bought the new pet hotel set that just released (No 71742 | 4-10) and put it together. This is basically a mini review:

(Note I haven't attached the stickers as of yet)

Pros:

• very cute art on the stickers and printed pieces

• the set is quite modular (for one of the new snap builds)

• I really like the clear fence pieces

• easy to build

• there's a bunch of great accessories

• love the new fluffy cat with articulated head and tail!

• yhe mop is so funny

Cons:

• parts don't snap very securely, some pieces come off if you lift the thing up gently to move it. The yellow spherical toppers are incredibly easy to knock off. The door keeps opening by itself

• smudges on the face of the fluffy cat and the side of the golden retriever

• sitting cat has neck joint issues

• the parrot tree will fall over when assembled like the instructions tell you, I had to rearrange it a bit to make it stand up by itself

Resume:

Cute set with an excellent idea and great pieces, but sadly lackluster quality control. I will notify customer service about the cat with the neck issue.
