LEGO Disney The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell 43225 Collectible Adult Building Set, Gift for Disney Princess Movie Fans Ages 18 and Up, Featuring Ariel, Ursula, King Triton, Sebastian and Flounder

First of all, let's address the crab in the clamshell (no pun intended), it would have been nice to get a new piece for Sebastian. With that said, the crab piece included is obviously meant to be Sebastian. This is not a set to give to a child who is expecting a red hair Ariel and a blue and yellow Flounder. But if they have seen the movie, then it will make sense. Overall the set is just beautiful! Yes there is some diversity in minifigures to represent the actual cast from the movie. I really liked the choice of colors in the set and the balance that is achieved means it has a more mature feel compared to the mini-doll based sets I would buy for my daughter. I should know because I am a dad and too many bright colors hurt my eyes. I think the back of the set is fine. Does anyone really complain about the back of  a painting....it's just for function and structure and it's out of sight. I assume the price would be unnecessarily higher if the back were also covered up. Anyhow, enough said. Five stars from me and yes I purchased this set for myself and with my own money. My daughter won't be getting this one to switch around the heads and torsos as she does with her other princess sets :) Lego please now give us a nice big adult style ship to go with the movie.

I had been looking for this Lego set and found it on Walmart.com. The price was good, it was shipped/delivered on time and there was no damage to the packaging. I am enjoying putting this set together.
