Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied.

This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Editorial assessment: The five Spice Girls reunite in BrickHeadz form with distinctive outfits and hairstyles. Patterns, colours and small accessories personalise each singer. A first build following the instructions, including normal piece finding; an adult may help when needed. Breaks, subsequent play and any alternative models are excluded. For older sets, unnumbered bags or previously mixed pieces may prolong sorting. No verified timed build: indicative values with substantial variation.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

The chart

The debut.

Read the full story

Official Charts records Wannabe at number three on the chart dated 20 July 1996, before reaching the top the following week. That is a chart date rather than necessarily a release day, and it was not a number-one debut.

Official Charts

At the top

Seven weeks at number one.

Read the full story

Wannabe spent seven weeks at number one and twelve in the UK Top 10, according to Official Charts. These measure different parts of its success, connecting the model’s group with a documented sequence of weekly chart positions.
