Troubleshooting
Bricks not connecting firmly
Ensure the bricks are properly aligned and pressed down firmly. Check for any debris or obstructions in the connection points.
Bookends feel unstable with books
Distribute the weight of the books evenly between the two bookends. Avoid placing excessively heavy books directly against the Slinky Dog figure. Consider adding more books to create a more stable column.
Difficulty attaching the included books
Refer to the instruction manual for the correct attachment points. Ensure the book's cover or spine is aligned with the designated LEGO studs or clips.
Parts missing from the set
