FAQs

What is the recommended age for this building set?

Info needed: Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the specific age recommendation for this building set. Typically, building sets with small parts are suitable for older children and adults.

Does the beckoning paw require batteries?

No, the beckoning paw features a pendulum waving action, which is typically a mechanical movement and does not require batteries.

Can I change the tummy panel decoration after assembly?

The tummy panel decoration (gold coin or fortune wish) is chosen during the initial assembly process. While it might be possible to carefully swap it later, it's designed to be a permanent choice once built.

What does the Lucky Cat symbolize?

The Lucky Cat (Maneki-neko) is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. Its raised paw is thought to beckon good fortune, prosperity, and wealth.

How do I clean my Lucky Cat display?

For routine cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush to dust the model. For more persistent dust, a very lightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Is this a difficult set to build?

The difficulty of building sets can vary by individual experience. However, LEGO® building sets generally come with clear, step-by-step instructions designed to guide builders through the process. Patience and careful attention to detail are key.

Troubleshooting

The beckoning paw does not wave or moves sporadically.

Carefully inspect the pendulum mechanism within the paw assembly. Ensure all pieces are securely connected and that there are no obstructions preventing free movement. Gently jiggle the cat to initiate the pendulum action.

A piece seems to be missing during assembly.

Double-check the packaging and sorting trays. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact the manufacturer's customer support (Draper) for assistance, providing the MPN: `40813`.

The assembled model feels unstable or falls apart easily.

Review the instruction manual from the beginning. Ensure all building steps were followed precisely and that each brick and piece is firmly pressed together. Pay particular attention to base connections.

Care

To ensure your Lucky Cat remains pristine:
