I really like this build, one of the better ones in my opinion!

I guess global warming is doing a number on that igloo? Plus the nerd in me points out that penguins are south pole, while igloos are Arctic. But it's free Lego for kids, so I'll just keep my mouth shut. :)

True. This is probably the best (cutest) monthly build I've seen despite it melting, etc.

They're obviously Arctic Puffins.

Is there anyway to get these builds if there is no "official" LEGO store within 300 miles???

Very cute build reminds me of the penguins in the Batman Video game!

Each month, Lego posts the instructions for the build of the month on

shop.lego.com/en-US/MiniBuilds

(You can substitute your language and country in place of the "en-US" if you so desire. So, "en-GB", for example) Brickset also has these cataloged with instructions where they were available. Lego did not start posting instructions until July 2010.

The set is very cute, but the "birds" are huge...look at the comparison of the "door" opening to the "bird"...these are some giant creatures!

And my daughter wanted to know why the igloo was floating on water I guess two white plates at the bottom would be more "authentic", althouh quite boring colorwise. Overall the model is cute, even if inaccurate. I'd love to scrounge more parts to make more penguins.

The answer to both your issues with this build is simple: The igloo is melting due to global climate change

You know what, that does explain it, I'm not sure that was LEGO's intention, but it has become clearer to me!
