" As a huge fan of the Expert line I was really looking forward to building this set as it plays up to my love of the Pulp detective novels.
i will say that for me the outside is quite striking, and there were lots of great pieces used in its construction but there was really anything new to learn in the construction of the set.
The added "story and play features" were unnecessary and for me took away from the model as a whole.
My list of grievances:
the walls in the alley that stop short of the top.
the stairs that are just open inside the barber shop
the pool hall being so undersized.
after building the first level and finding all my issues with the set i went back to the lego store and bought a second copy so i could make everything bigger and take away my issues with the set.
As the title states the Detective's Office is a Beautiful step backwards after last years Parisian Cafe. "
I would recommend this to a friend!
