" The modular buildings are my favorite sets. With the Brick Bank I now have 9 modular sets beginning with the Green Grocer. Over time, the detail on these sets has gotten better and better. Yes, they have also shrunk in size a bit but the detail is absolutely awesome on the Brick Bank. I don't mind paying a little bit more for the extra time and effort that went in to designing this set. Love the laundromat and the advertising above the entrance. This set also uses common pieces in inventive ways. The Parisian Restaurant is still my favorite but this is a very close second. The Brick Bank is a really nice addition to my modular collection. Play value may suffer due to smaller sized rooms but anyone with a little Lego inventiveness can alter the floor plan. This set is truly one of the best modulars out there. Good going Lego and keep them coming! "

" I'm so happy to have discovered the Creator animal sets. This one in particular is one of my favorites. They are so poseable and fun to display with family photos. Just recently purchased the retired Fierce Creatures. I bought it for the spider and it's displayed climbing a bookcase trying to attack the Red Creatures dragon. If you're a dog lover you have to get this set. It's worth every penny and is very reasonably priced. The play value is outstanding. I own a total of 6 animal sets and hope that Lego continues to release more of the same. "

" i just finished the Detective's Office and I must say that the detail was wonderful. I own 7 other modular sets and with each new one that is released the detail just gets better and more innovative. Yes, I have noticed that the newer sets seem to be a little smaller than the Town Hall, Grand Emporium or Green Grocer, for example, but for display purposes, I really enjoy the smaller size sets. The detail is what makes the building experience so enjoyable. Yes, the room sizes were definitely smaller but aesthetically it's really a very attractive set. I don't mind paying a little extra for the smaller set.. In my opinion, the designer probably put forth a lot of extra effort during the design process (i.e. fan on top of filing cabinet and hall tree with hat, pool sign, etc.). I just ordered the Brick Bank and am looking forward to receiving it in the near future. This set is a must have for anyone who enjoys the modular sets. It's a really nice addition to my collection.

" With this movie being one of my favorites, how could I not purchase this product? The amount of detail was great and it was fun to see Wall-E take shape. Was glad there were instructions for the updated revised design based on previous reviewer comments. All in all, very enjoyable building experience. Instructions are clear and concise - highly recommend for any age and gender. "

" I don't have a personal connection to the VW Camper Van like a lot of other reviewers do but I grew up during the time when you saw a lot of these vehicles on the road. I've always been intrigued with the camper and was delighted when it came out as a set. It was extremely time consuming to build given the fact that the bags weren't numbered and there was a multitude of tiny pieces because of the detail in this set. Construction was truly a labor of love and the detail is what makes the building experience so enjoyable for me. My grandchildren were envious and couldn't believe I had built it myself, although I have built 7 modular sets on my own. I've had no problem with parts falling off when its handled. Looking forward to building the mini Cooper next. In the future, would really like to see a newer VW Beetle set come out. "

" I enjoy being surrounded by my Lego friends – they absolutely make me smile! The outdoor bakery provides hours of playtime for my granddaughter and me not to mention introducing her to the world of Legos. The detail is amazing, colors are bright, cheerful and friendly and the non-traditional mini-figs are the best. Good going, Lego….you’re the best! "

" I was ecstatic the moment I received my Lego email announcing the Lego Friends line. I have purchased a few of the Creator houses in the past but have always been disappointed because there weren't any furnishings. I was totally delighted with the furnishings in Olivia's House......I'm a fan of all things miniature. The non-traditional figures were also a plus. I have a 7-year-old granddaughter who will love playing with this set and has expressed an interest in legos as well. I plan to purchase additonal Lego Friends sets and look forward to putting them together with my granddaughter. "
