"This set was fa-nominal, I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it on the back of the Lego magazine. The set had bright colors, use of fairly new bricks in new colors, and excellent building ideas that will be used to help with custom MOCs. The set was good for the prohibition era it was designed for. The detectives office and billiard room was a great representation of the time period and the barbershop seemed as though it was pulled right out of small town America. The story line for the modular excellent, It wasn't necessary but defiantly helped with the play-ability standpoint of the model.
the pros of the model are the excellent and bright color scheme, the printed elements on the windows, the era appropriate minfigure prints, the story, the pool sign, and the mirror.
The cons are that the mysterious woman in red doesn't have a separate dress piece, the barber shop was a little bigger so that it was easy to move the barrel full of sweets from one place to another.
all in all this set is defiantly one of the greatest arguably the best next to the Persian restaurant in design. But i will have to give it to the detectives office because it is more roomy and has a lot more going on in the set that meets the eye.
this set is a must have to put next to your other Lego modulars or if your just starting to get in to the modular buildings this set is great from new building tricks to fun new pieces i would recommend this set highly to any fan of Lego."
