" I haven't built very many Lego sets, just a few of the modulars, but I found this set a bit on the boring side to put together. The first two floors just felt a bit repetitive, but luckily once you get to the roof part and the large sign, it gets a lot better (leaving a found memory of the building experience in your mind).
The set is also very cute once built and a lot of fun to look at. The movie posters are a particularly nice touch, as is the concession area.
It is worth noting that this set does have a lot of annoying stickers. The stickers include the movie posters, the movie screen, and the small words on the sign. The posters and the screen aren't too bad, but getting the stickers on the sign on straight is particularly frustrating (the words are on a grid pattern, so if it is not straight, it is extremely obvious). "
I would recommend this to a friend!

" This is my absolutely favorite modular set.
I particularly like the building design with the "attic" apartment above the pet shop. The loft bed with the little kitchen + living space above the pet shop is just adorable. You can just image the pet shop owner living up there and heading downstairs every morning to open the family shop and care for all the lovely animals.
I also like the brownstone apartment next door, with the bay windows, all the lovely flowers and the cute balcony on top! The cellar in the brownstone is a nice touch too!
Between all the animals, the two apartments next door to each other, and the painter, the story lines are really endless! Fits in great with the Emporium, the Restaurant and the Fire Station. "
I would recommend this to a friend!

" I have the last few Lego Modular buildings released (the only Lego sets in our house actually), and I must say this set is my least favorite of the series.
What I do like about this set is the brick half of the building. The detail inside the pool hall and the detectives office are great and a lot of fun! For example, I love the pool table, the dart board, the removable ceiling fan, the clutter in the detectives office, the stray cat and the hidden safe. All these features do a great job of trying to capture the essence of this building (an old time detectives office on the seedy side of town).
The blue half of the building, however, is what drags this set down. While the barber shop is nice, the second and third floor are too small, particularly due to the recessed center brown part of the building. All there is on the 2nd floor is a bathroom and on the 3rd floor is a partially furnished kitchen. Ok, I can probably get past the 2nd floor just having a public bathroom, but the random kitchen on the 3rd floor that is fully open to the public is just a bit too much for me.
Perhaps having a secret cookie kitchen in the cellar or in a hidden attic would have worked OK - but in a public room just does not add to this set at all. Unfortunately, this 3rd floor room is also too small to really modify into something better...like a seedy accounting office for the mobsters that run the pool hall or something...
As far as the modulars go, I would recommend this set only if you already have all of the other modular buildings on your wish list. "
