" As a Lego and Big Bang fan this was an easy purchase, but I am disappointed with it. It is not good value for money and very simple to build.

" While I am happy with the build and the look of the model from the front there is very clearly a trend from Lego to charge the same but give less in these sets. It started with the Parisien Cafe and is even more pronounced in this set. While the number of pieces may look as high as other sets, Lego are using more and more smaller stud count bricks. This means the models are in fact get smaller. For this model it means that the base plate area at the front of the model and the back of the model is left blank much more than any other model before. The actual depth of the build from front to back is much less than similar earlier modulars, making the insides of the rooms very cramped and limited. Also this model is only 3 floors tall across one side, the other side is only 2 floors tall, again less than before. It is quite obvious when you put this model alongside the earlier modulars that we are getting less than before which is disapointing. You can see from the image how shallow the model actually is.

" Another excellent Creator Expert model, loved building it.
The roof was a little tricky but all worked well in the end. "
