Are the official Lego sets too expensive for you? Then don’t despair! Because Amazon sells a detailed alternative that is strongly reminiscent of the legendary master sword.
Whether on the desk, on the shelf or as a construction project for the weekend: This Master Sword Set from Sillbird is in no way inferior to the Lego originals when it comes to design and is aimed at game fans who want to experience their favorite world outside of the console. For 59.99 euros you not only get a set consisting of 725 pieces, but also an unofficial replica of the Master Sword that glows in the dark!
This is what we like about the Master Sword:
- + Detailed design with sword, dragon and korok.
- + Fluorescent stones glow in the dark without having to buy extra lamps.
We don’t like this:
- – Not original merchandise.
- – The lighting effect is subtle without direct sunlight.
The building set consists of 725 bricks and creates not only the iconic master sword, but also a dragon, a small figure that looks like a Korok and a small castle setting. With a height of around 31 centimeters, the finished model fits perfectly into existing gaming shelves or showcases without taking up too much space.
A visual highlight are the components of the blade that glow in the dark. If you charge it with enough sunlight or a strong desk lamp during the day, the sword will shine in the evening. This creates a special atmosphere in the room. Please note, however, that if the model is permanently in a dark corner, this effect will be less pronounced.
This is what buyers say about the kit
In the customer reviews on Amazon, the set achieved a good 4.1 out of 5 stars. Video game fans particularly praise the high clamping force of the stones. In contrast to some other alternative manufacturers, nothing wobbles here, even if you lift the model to dust.
If you build at a relaxed pace, you’ll need around four to five hours to set it up. There are deductions in the B grade for some very small components and the demanding instructions.
Who is the kit worthwhile for?
The set is clearly aimed at Nintendo fans, nerds and hobbyists who want to live out their love of video games outside of the console. You get a visually impressive display model that impresses with its glowing effect.
If you can overlook small weaknesses in the instructions, the unofficial nature and somewhat fiddly small parts, you will receive a fun after-work activity and a strong decorative object for just under 60 euros.
