"I got this set for Christmas and have to say I haven't stopped playing with it for days, it has so many play features and it just looks great. Al's barber shop is so awesome the reflective mirror is awesome and the cookie smuggling feature is the best. The pool table is well built and looks great.i love the pull chain toilet oh though it is very hard to get a mini figure to be placed on the toilet.The detectives office is cool and comes with so many cool pieces and the desk is amazing. The third floor has some really cool details like the uni kitty tail. All up this has to be my favourite modular building out of them all. It has great playability and some awesome detail."

"I had anticipated this set from when it was first debuted, and wanted one to add to my collection of official sets and my own modular creations. It has a lot of nice techniques in its design, using a lot of parts I haven't seen or used before. Mostly from other lines of sets that I wouldn't normally want to have. I appreciate that, it adds to my ideas for my own designs.
I have all the modulars from the Fire Brigade to this one. I have to say though, this is the first modular set that I wanted to modify right from the start. I think it could of been quite a bit larger, balancing interior parts with exterior more evenly. There is a lot of empty space in the back to me.
I like my modulars to make real design sense, and this one has a lot of strange choices. One example, the center part, behind the fire escape detail is a different color from the buildings on either side, for no logical reason other than to add more colors. Another is the stairs up take up a lot of space and are open to the interior of the barbershop...hard to get in there, even though they can be folded out of the way.
Nice with no stickers, all printed parts and quite a few nice ones, even a mirror piece. Colors can hit or miss, and the blues miss with me, the other colors used are OK.
I can recommend this set to anyone wanting all the modulars in their own collection."

"This set was fa-nominal, I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it on the back of the Lego magazine. The set had bright colors, use of fairly new bricks in new colors, and excellent building ideas that will be used to help with custom MOCs. The set was good for the prohibition era it was designed for. The detectives office and billiard room was a great representation of the time period and the barbershop seemed as though it was pulled right out of small town America. The story line for the modular excellent, It wasn't necessary but defiantly helped with the play-ability standpoint of the model.
the pros of the model are the excellent and bright color scheme, the printed elements on the windows, the era appropriate minfigure prints, the story, the pool sign, and the mirror.
The cons are that the mysterious woman in red doesn't have a separate dress piece, the barber shop was a little bigger so that it was easy to move the barrel full of sweets from one place to another.
all in all this set is defiantly one of the greatest arguably the best next to the Persian restaurant in design. But i will have to give it to the detectives office because it is more roomy and has a lot more going on in the set that meets the eye.
this set is a must have to put next to your other Lego modulars or if your just starting to get in to the modular buildings this set is great from new building tricks to fun new pieces i would recommend this set highly to any fan of Lego."

"Very good. I liked the hidden compartment and the pathway between the barber's shop and pool room. Decent minifigures would prefer to see a crook and a child. If possible, could a police car be added. My only problem is the barber's shop is a bit too small."
