" Others have already covered all the important points, and I'd just like to reiterate those most important for me.
- This set has so much going on it's amazing! It's great value for money.
- It's thematically consistent with the old gangster/noir films to such a degree that I was cackling with glee for the whole time of construction.
- It's aesthetically pleasing and will fit well in any Lego city. "
I would recommend this to a friend!

" I got this set together with the Parisian Restaurant and when the parcel arrived and I got the Lego boxes out in the open, I spent at least an hour just looking at them. What a pair of magnificent buildings they are.
I just love the facade of the Detective’s Office. It looks so detailed and carefully finished. The printed windows are the nicest I've seen so far - I just love the font. You should print t-shirts or mugs that say "Ace Brickman - Private Lego-fanatic" (or something) with that font. Even the backyard is more than a desert of empty studs. The whole set, in my opinion, just screams "come play with me".
The set has as much going on on the inside as it does on the outside. A pool hall and a barbershop on the ground floor, a detective's office on top of the pool hall and a bathroom and a kitchen on top of the barbershop. And you get a water tower, too. Plus a cat. I happen to like cats way more than dogs, so I'm smitten with this set. I might've - no I take that back - I WOULD HAVE sold my left kidney to get this set back when I was 10!
I believe this set has some kind of cookie-smuggling theme going on (which is apparently continued in the promotional flower cart set, I do admit I was a bit confused about the barrel hidden under the cart). I wish I had seen the designer's video of this building but it seems to have disappeared from the Lego site. I like the idea of cookie-smuggling. It certainly fits the wholesome image of Lego City and I'm sure most children (and myself, unfortunately) would love to be pretend smugglers and develop the idea further.
There were some negative things about this set (most of them already posted here), since nothing in this world is perfect.
1) The sides of the building are indeed quite ugly.
2) The archway and the staircase leading up appear to be a bit unfinished.
3) The size of the barbershop. It definitely should have been 2-4 studs deeper and/or wider than it is now.
4) The toilet door is too narrow.
5) The kitchen is also too narrow. A minifigure would not be able to walk from the stairs to the door leading to the roof.
Otherwise, a fantastic set. Where do you guys come up with these ideas?? They're absolutely mindblowing. Give a pay rise to the person who invented cookie-smuggling. Keep up the good work and please, please, please don't go back to the "all facade and nothing inside" -theme you had with the first three modular buildings. "

" detectives office is a great set. it includes many unique elements and lots of hidden details such as the painting on the wall that reveals a secret love letter and the cleverly designed pull chain toilet. it also has lots of moving parts, the most that I have encountered in any modular building set. it is a pretty good lego set and I highly recommend it.

" This was the first Creator set I purchased and is still my favorite! What can I say but WOW! I really like the larger "small" details included in this build; pool table, ceiling fan, water tower, printed elements, exterior signage, etc. Some of the details seem unnecessary, like the bootleg feature, but overall the playability of the set is great. "
