What reviewers are saying

"A charming model at a pocket-money price"

Brickset Reviews

"40639 Bird's Nest feels oddly detached from the holiday apart from an array of colourful eggs that don't quite fit with the set's subject matter."

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Turntable for bird attachment
Allows the adult bird to be posed in a seated position attached to the corner of the nest
Decorated eggs (three pieces)
Provide colour splash and Easter theming to the model
2x2 tiles on chicks' heads
Attempted detail on the small chicks, though reviewer expresses reservation: 'I'm not overly keen on the 2x2 tiles on the sides of their heads'
Grey element in flower branch
Stands out awkwardly against the natural brown colour palette; reviewer notes it's hard to believe this piece could not have been moulded in brown or a less obtrusive colour
