"After reading the other reviews, I will be getting the power packs to go with this train. Will be wonderful for the holidays.
One thing I would recommend is that the train track instructions says to throw away the "nails" holding the tracks together. If you do not display this all year, saving those nails will keep the tracks in tack until ready for use again.
I enjoyed building this train and look forward to my next holiday build which is the Winter Village. Great to use these two sets together!"
"I liked the build on this, especially the twisting of the tower. Lots of new bricks to me.
I would change one thing. On the "blue" building I was a little disappointed on the back side as it does not have a finished look to it. I am hoping to find some smooth bricks to have a more finished look like the front of the building."
"This is my third Creator Expert build. It was the most challenging for me, however, if not challenging it would take the fun out of it. I had to redo the chimney several times as I misread the instructions. When I went to attach the apartment to the restaurant it did not fit and it was because I had one piece in incorrectly. I learned the value of slowing down and paying attention to the pictures.
Once again I was amazed by all the details that this build has on all three levels. The artist room was my favorite as it came together in an amazing way.
I did make one very small change. At the top of the front of the artist studio there is a round piece that seemed incomplete. I added a round yellow piece for a lamp and instead of having the round being upward, I turned it downward so it would appear that it was an overhead light that beams down on the outside of the restaurant.
I watched the Creator Expert video before and during the build which made it come to life for me! Thank you Creator for these wonderful videos!
As I am doing these builds to keep my mind active as I am fast approaching my Medicare birthday I must say this one did just that!"
"This would be a great gift for anyone who loves Legos! I really like how I can change the "name" on the front with small lego pieces or use my own extra pieces. Hard back book. Highly recommend!"
"This is my 4th Architecture build my favorite so far! All the little builds and adding on to the palace was just amazing to watch it come together. I take my time and enjoy the build. Easy to follow instructions. I love the details. An added bonus was the history of the palace. Great information!"
"This is my third Architecture build and enjoying the builds more and more. Easy to follow instructions, now that I know the build style! Stable build and enjoyment watching the buildings come alive! The added bonus of the history of each building is wonderful! I learned a lot! Looking forward to my next build from this series!"
"Fun and fairly easy build. I really like the touch of details on the top. The instruction book has a condensed history background which is helpful on knowing what is being built!"
"Keep in mind that this is my first Architecture build and 4th lego build... When I first started the build I almost gave up as I did not understand the instructions. After 4 attempts of taking it back apart and trying again, I finally figured it out. The background of the pages in black and with the black bricks made it difficult plus the fact that I was not use to not attaching bricks.
Once I got the hang of the build I was hooked! I so enjoyed the construction. I read the history of each building as I went along and that made it feel like I was the builder. lol
The completion was stunning. It is really a set to admire. One thing I really appreciate, is that I learned some history! As I am fast approaching my social security birthday I needed a project that would help keep my brain active and these lego projects are just the ticket!
I have three more Architecture builds awaiting me and I am so looking forward to the builds! I would highly recommend these products!"
