Good Build
" While Santa brought my daughter I got the carousel and found the engineering of it amazing, though some places I found the build repetitive but that didnt disappoint.
I used my VIP points to motorise it and when ever my back is turned my daughter hits the switch.
Enjoyed building it and is one to play with.

400 days to build !!
" You probably read the title and went how on earth can a lego kit take 400 days to build, Well its Santa's fault.
This was on my Christmas wish list but when it came down the chimney it had my daughters name on it and she had turned 5 earlier in December.
She placed every brick in place from the mega manual it came with, It was fun watching her at the start learning how to read the manual by the time she was 6 she was flying through the pages.
The build was done when she felt like it hence the time frame there were also periods where she just played with what was built at the time.
This kit has made her keen for bigger and smaller builds.
AS for play ability this kit is the type of kit you would love to put under a dome as its so detailed, I even said that to my 6 year old and it was like I was the most evil dad in the world. She absolute loves playing with it though I did have a protest when the lego Friends extension was added
3rd party lighting brick are very tempting but for the money they are well I could be buying more lego!

Scale is amazing
" After a long wait due to people not getting hints for my Birthday and then the out of stock issue but checking the website 3 times a day.
The size of the kit is amazing as well as the scale, I did have an issue with getting the first stage built but got it sorted. Built it over a week but as a rough guide each bag took about an hour.
Just need to find somewhere to display it now. "

nananannana Batman
" This was bought as the first of 3 large kits that I'm going to buy this year. Roll on VIP double points.
I did this build with my 4 year old daughter who could identify most parts and found them for me. She built all the minifigs.
It was a interesting build as the colours didn't always match that in the book but once I worked out the difference it was straight forward.
The only downside was that I thought the helicopter and bike could be a bit stronger as Ive managed to have to rebuild both after putting minifigs in them.
The batmobile could have been released as its own kit and the firing missiles at the front are a weapon with the speed they fire at.
I enjoyed building the kit and my 4 year old daughter has been telling everyone she built it.

First LEGO® Architecture
" First Architecture kit build, have always been a bit ware as Im one of those that more bricks the better.
But as it was on my Christmas list it appeared and got built. Like the book and the build was easy but the outcome looks great. Wife thinks its a bit blocky but being from an era of blocky builds it looks great to me.

Cant wait to get the rest.
Question is death star or 10+ Architecture kits...

Wall-E
" First build for me for a long time, Was a straight forward build and only took so long as I was getting pulled in different directions.
Four year Old Daughter Loves it and helped with the build.
Have seen the remote control mod and will in the future do this. "
