Flat out broken.
" I went into this purchase seeing this set as a very cool and fun toy, something that I don't often buy, as I mostly purchase display based sets. This would indeed be a very fun and creativity influential toy, if it actually worked. It flat out doesn't tilt to the right. Some reviews brush this off as a "minor con" but it makes the entire thing unplayable. Terrible build quality as well, as the set was constantly falling apart and parts forced itself out of indents and in the middle of "playing", would just flat out disconnect. If you're really looking for a tiltable maze, just buy one from Amazon or something. It'll save you tons of money too.

Great Set, Can Be Repetitive
" First off: If you have the money and want to go for this sit, i'd say go for it.
With that being said, this is an amazing set. The inner workings of the Ferris Wheel's spinning function and it's raising platforms really make this set a special one. Even though the crank and the lever had no problems concerning their functionality, I would buy the power functions items for this set, purely because I think the crank is a bit too small, so it's difficult for you to keep a consistent speed. Another thing, this model is HUGE. You better have some room for it. It's 2 feet tall and 21 inches wide of pure beauty. The starburst affect was a great choice on Jamie's (the designer) part, as well as the whole color scheme in general. The build itself, while fun seeing just how huge this model will be, gets pretty repetitive once you start building the Ferris Wheel itself.

Very Detailed, Harder For Larger Hands
" 1st of all-this is an overall amazing set, and I would definitely recommend it.
However, there are some (very small) cons to this set.
1. MANY, MANY 1x1 tiles. (This could be a pro or con depending on who you are.) If you have larger hands, this will most likely be a very challenging build for you.
2. Following up on the previous con, it is very easy to lose pieces if you're not careful, because there's sooo many tiny pieces.
And that's about it for the cons.
Now for the pros.
1. AMAZING detail all around. From the varied blocks that make up the stone, to the flowing lava down the mixed stone/grass mountain, To the house that even includes an entrance and 3 windows, there are astounding levels of detail all over this set.
2. The mini-people (or whatever you'd like to call them) are brilliantly made just by stacking certain blocks together, with 1 being printed with Steve's face on it. and although the Creeper was made out of only 3 blocks, it's the best 3 blocks they could've used for the creeper, 1 of them being printed.
3. Just like Transformers, there's more than meets the eye to this set. By removing the tops off the the main blocks (which is brilliantly designed) it reveals you to an entire new cave system with small blocks representing diamond and redstone.
4. The customization. Not only can you rearrange the blocks however you want, you can take the tops off and rearrange those and the blocks separately, or even make the tops sit by themselves, making the blocks look like mountains with caves inside.
However, there are some (very small) cons to this set.

OVERALL: Amazing detail, brilliantly designed, perfect for Minecraft and mini scale lovers, although it'l be a bit harder for larger hands because off all the small pieces. If you can find someone selling this set for around the original price, i'd definitely go for it.
