    Daiso lego project fail. The bits are just too small to hold together a big model.

      Are the snap together joints giving out under the weight? It looks like a lot of unsupported limbs there and unequal distribution of weight.

      I dunno if a dab of glue or green stuff at the joins would be cheating but perhaps if you built the legs first as kind of an arch, perhaps with something supporting them underneath, and then assembled the rest of it while being supported by a doll frame.

      The head is over the neck and over one leg so maybe that might stay put. The tail is going to be most at risk of snapping off

        the pieces are small, 90% are 1x1 and there are no spanning pieces larger than 2x1 to hold it all together. iow, can’t do proper brick laying

          Yeah, I’m not a Lego person, was just thinking about how buildings and bridges stayed up… but yeah I think they put more work into marketing than functionality and it just won’t work :( It seems very poorly designed.

          Edit: If you were curious though the bit at 2:17 was my thought process https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iqyLlscQrvQ

          Superglue alone often needs to be supported as it dries or might not be strong enough

            That looks cool, I love looking at new hobbies. I might do that if I wanted to keep the big model but I want to pull it apart and rebuild the 12 little dinosaurs.

      If you can find the brand Nanoblocks, they are pretty cool. Mini lego type pieces that fit together properly.
