Great set
" It was great to see these new City sets for 2015 with a twist on the usual construction theme - it's destruction time!
The build of the bulldozer produces a great model which is smoother to use in your city than previous LEGO bulldozers such as 7685.
The minifgures are well designed and the accessories including piece of wall to knock down are a nice touch.
Smaller hands might struggle or get impatient with building the track for the bulldozer (even I got a bit bored half way through!) so parents might want to be on hand to help.

Great set, interior lacking a bit though
" A great addition to the modular buildings range, and some nice touches during the building process (the "Palace" sign is particularly pleasing to build), though the interior detailing for the first floor (cinema screen/seating) felt like it was a last minute addition, and the car seems to be an odd blend of 3 different decades - though I doubt many people will buy this set for the car!
There's a great range of minifigure torsos, though, and this is one set in which the stickers are worth applying - the Lego film posters are fantastic and a great hat-tip to the AFOL community!

Solid set
" As others have said, this has become one of my favourite purchases of all time. I purchased two sets, and parts to power them with a 9V motor. The model is quite heft weight wise, so if you're planning to do this expect to buy 2 motors!
The model itself includes building techniques not seen in many other sets, and would be a great display model or in a town. The only disappointing aspect is that the area beneath the pantograph has no roof, so you can see straight in to the inside of the train.

Good set with a few weaknesses
" A good set and a large set for the money.
Only complaint would be that the rear axles for the trailer are very weak and tend to come off quite often!

A fairly solid set with room for improvement
" A fairly solid Lego train set with a satisfying level of build complexity.
Pros: good range of pieces and a reasonable length of track to run the train on. The cars don't sit on their truck too well at speed around corners.
Cons: the new PF motors seem to have fairly poor traction/power, and they'll struggle to pull more than the 3 wagons that come with the set. A few more minifigs would have been nice, too.

Solid set
" Surprisingly (and pleasingly) a more complex model than I assumed it would be. Pretty robust, although the lift function on the tail is a little low and prevents full opening on the back.
