Settle in a and watch a few MCU movies...
" Fun build! It was really interesting to see how they designed this set, and how they made use of the pieces. I watched the movies while building and realized that the details they were able to get into this model are impressive!
One potential downside is that this model is better suited for display than play. It's awkward to hold and not sturdy enough to survive very much.
My main suggestion/complaint however is that the instructions are all in one 400+ page manual! This model would be perfect to share the build with (and cut the time!), but with only one copy of the manual you are stuck building in a linear fashion. The microscale builds, the bridge, the upper deck and the rotors could all easily be built by another person while the main hull is being built.

Perfect
" As an adult Beatle fan this is perfect. I'm just surprised they didn't do this sooner!
As someone that is also aware of the machinations of the music industry I don't think it's overpriced when you consider the licensing deal that had to be struck with Apple. The Beatle brand doesn't come cheap for anyone...
Anyway, one of the things I like most is that there are NO STICKERS! No need to worry about them peeling/fading/etc as the years pass! That's a HUGE plus in my book.
Aside from what everyone else has said, there is one thing I found to be really cool: the box itself. The artwork continues inside with the Lego versions looking across at the cartoon version like that part in the movie when they see themselves.
This set is going into my Lego display at home - but I'll be getting another to leave at my recording studio as well. ;)

I think I need another...
" Great set. Fun build, and all the things they packed into such a small space is impressive. This set literally has something any age can appreciate: the architecture impressed me, and of course the subject will interest kids.
When I got this I knew it wouldn't be a large set (and it isn't) but when I was building it I was amazed at all the great pieces it contains! I am actually planning to buy a second set of this just to have the parts for other things. The blue windows, arches, and numerous speciality pieces had me thinking of other things to build before I even finished the 1st floor!
The ONLY thing I don't like about this set is where the "A" stickers are supposed to go. I don't like the look of it when you open the tower - which is the most likely way to display/play with this set. (I simply went without.)
