I started building the Lumibricks Alpine Observatory by emptying all the envelopes of bricks into the box. I like delving around in the pile of bricks as an exercise in mindfulness. I think it goes back to 60+ years ago, when an old freezer drawer full of bricks kept me happy for hours at a time.

I'm impressed by the quality and quantity of the printed bricks and the complete absence of stickers. Less impressive was the lack of diversity in the minifigs - all white men. The inclusion of a screwdriver and needle-nose tweezers makes things interesting - they are needed for fitting the lights.
