Since I am legally blind, sharing hobbies like bird watching is something far from what I can do. I’m uncertain if this was LEGO’s intention, but the concept sounds interesting to me. They can point out the distinct coloring while also presenting a fun little activity. This set is perfect to share their love of bird watching with younger generations. I should also mention that this set is not just for pet owners. The chick has similar printed spots, but they are done on 1×2 tiles. The larger bird has two 2×2 curved slopes with spots on the side for the head. This set has some nice printed elements as well. This means many of its parts are fairly neutral in color and can be repurposed quite easily. This has much to do with the design of the wings and tail feathers.Īs an added bonus for builders, the cockatiel is mostly a gray bird. Even though this set is constructed similarly as the #40443 LEGO BrickHeadz Budgies, I felt engaged through the entire process. I am not a bird person, but the LEGO BrickHeadz birds are still my favorites to build. That to me is a cat video just begging to be made! LEGO BRICKHEADZ COCKATIEL & CHICK If for no other reason than to show it to your cat, it be not impressed, and then watch it knock it over. And if you have a ginger tabby, you’re going to want to get this set for sure. Though I expect people might pick up this set to make it easier to build other famous tabby cats like Garfield or Heathcliff. Overall, the cats are still interesting to build, especially if this is your first LEGO BrickHeadz Pets set. Like with all the LEGO BrickHeadz Pets sets, there are two stickers included with the set to decorate the curved slope on the bed. They even manage to include a few other parts in lavish colors to make up the inner structure of the cats. As an added bonus, the bed and some internal pieces inside the cats are teal, which is still fairly uncommon. The two types of oranges are quite striking when paired together. The colors of the pieces are an entirely different story. Apart from the ears being a little more forward, the building techniques are very similar to the #40441 LEGO BrickHeadz Short Haired Cats. I can tell you right now that you won’t be picking up this set for that reason. Personally, one of the things I love about LEGO BrickHeadz is seeing similar shaped figures made in new and innovative ways. This makes the pet lover crowd a fairly wide pool that would be charmed by this cute duo.Īs far as building goes, there’s not too much to get excited about. Most of my friends who have or have had cats often had tabby cats of some color. If you wanted a fairly common breed of cat, a ginger tabby is a great choice. Now, let’s take a closer look at each of the new sets. Variety is one of the strengths of the LEGO BrickHeadz Pets line, so adding a new pet to the mix feels like the right step. This last set surprised me, but upon thinking about it, it made perfect sense. Thankfully, it looks like LEGO got us covered! Cat lovers can now look forward to the #40480 LEGO BrickHeadz Ginger Tabby, bird lovers are treated to the #40481 LEGO BrickHeadz Cockatiel, and fish lovers… are going to have to wait, because the third upcoming set is the #40482 LEGO BrickHeadz Hamster. (You can read my reviews on all these sets via the links at the end of this post.) At this point, I was still wondering if there was going to be other pets in the collection. Would they be enough to launch a brand new LEGO BrickHeadz sub-theme? They were later joined by the #40442 LEGO BrickHeadz Goldfish, and the #40443 LEGO BrickHeadz Budgies, which definitely showed the potential for variety, but did the collection have depth? Finally, we got the #40479 LEGO BrickHeadz Dalmatians, which is honestly one of the best because of all the printed little spots. When I built the #40440 LEGO BrickHeadz German Shepherds and the #40441 LEGO BrickHeadz Shorthaired Cats, I was a little concerned.
