" This set employs a wide variety of cool elements. In particular I like the mirror, pool table secret storage spaces in the detective's office, barber's shop, and game room. It is extremely detailed and has a wide range of things to do in the set. The only thing I am not a fan of are the sides of the building which are rather ugly. This would not matter if you attached multiple sets as it implies you should. Overall I really do like it. "

" I am overall disappointed with the set. The small size equates to limited playability, despite the Detective's Office being centered around children. I am not a fan of the "smuggling cookies and candy" storyline. As a result, the kitchen does not seem to fit in with the rest of the set. Another Lego fan mentioned that the hidden tunnels and spaces are pointless and I could not agree more. If you are starting your collection, or are on a budget, I suggest that you focus on purchasing the Parisian Restaurant, Palace Cinema, or Pet Shop. All of them are great sets. I would encourage Lego designers to stay faithful to their more mature modular-fan audience.
I would recommend, if you choose to buy this set, that you convert the upper floors to a small police station. The set makes greater sense by doing so.
Pros:
New Pieces (Mirror)
Impressive Interior
Cons:
Small Size
Storyline (Smuggling Cookies)
Lack of Sense (Kitchen is waste of precious space)

Response from LEGO:By Jordan - Core Product SpecialistConsumer ServicesFebruary 9, 2015
I appreciate your feedback and will discuss your concerns with the designers. It is great that you have already adjusted your model and now have a police station on the top floor. In regards to the story line the designers have story for every set and were very excited to share it with the builders. I am sorry that this story did not necessarily appeal to you.

" This was my 1st Modular building, and I am hooked.
The build was a lot of fun, and there were some interesting techniques. Building the water barrel, that goes on the roof, was very different, and turned out amazing looking! The details inside were top notch.
I highly recommend this set.
