I didn't want the construction to end
" I had a wonderful time building this set. I didn't run into issues with any parts like other reviewers have mentioned. I ordered this when it was pre-released to VIPs. I did receive one slightly bent long, gray, cover piece but that was my only issue.
It's my most advanced Lego construction to date and I love playing with it. My hours to build include time to play and test the gears as I went along. I had an area in the early construction where the gear would sometimes stick so I opened it up, found I had used the wrong part, put the correct part in and voila, the gear ran smoothly after that.
I agree that the center piece is a bit difficult to get to sturdily attach and I did have things fall apart from the pressure I was using to try to make them click. But they have stayed on so I guess I made it work.
If you're like me, this may be helpful. I hate putting the Lego stickers on pieces, I can never align them with enough precision for my taste; and this calls for quite a few stickers for the reflective accents. (A heads up, the first set of circular stickers you'll use are the printed ones. The plain ones come last).
All that said, I really had a blast bringing this creation to life and I didn't want it to end, even if there was quite a bit of repetition for the pieces. The frog is brilliant, as other reviewers have commented. Building the tiger was also really enjoyable. All the animals were fun to build, but those two were my faves. The colors of the bricks were also fun to work through.
It's pricey, but it's big, with lots of unique pieces, and for the creative design that went into this, I think it's a pretty fair price. "

Fun, even for a New Yorker
" I live in Brooklyn but am in Manhattan almost everyday. My favorite well-known buildings are the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center, with the Empire State Building (ESB) and Flatiron Building as close seconds. I can see the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center and the ESB as I travel to and from Manhattan (it's amazing and I don't take it for granted). So, this set was a "no-brainer" for me to own. The pieces are unique and the set is really fun to build. The skyscrapers are a little unsturdy (several disassembled when the set tilted back into a box) but the pieces came off in chunks and were easy enough to put back together without needing to look at the instructions, and that's why I gave this a 4 block rating. I would recommend for older kids to adult due to small pieces. The end result is beautiful and fun to admire. "

Great set and versatility
" This was my reintroduction to Legos. I had loved them as a child but never got to buy any planned designs, I just used the bricks and my imagination to create things. That said, my imagination is a bit different now, so I opted for a pre-designed set, and the idea of being able to make different, really cool, vehicles enticed me. I was not disappointed. Really fun, great designs, a little challenging but not too much, and I got to meet the Lego Brickseparator. Totally cool. My only wish? It had brakes. :-) I have left finished projects out to look at and they like to roll off tables due to my slanted floor. I worked it out, though. A little brick in front of the tires does the trick.

Small but fun
" The end product(s) are a bit smaller than I expected, but are still fun for a quick build. "
