Changing of the seasons in modular city
" A nice addition to the green space that I'm creating in a city using all of Lego's modular buildings. Easy micro build that a child would enjoy.

Excellent design and execution by Lego. A winner!
" Having built the Tower Bridge, the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower within the past year or so, I have to say that this is the best build of them all. The instructions and building techniques are straight forward without any stability problems. Props to the Lego designers for taking a non traditionally shaped building, one with lots of curves, and coming up with building techniques that are both efficient and result in a nice looking model of the original building. I really don't have anything negative to say about this Lego product. If you can afford it, buy it. Don't get throw off by the cost per piece discussion that some get into. This Lego product contains hundreds of uniquely shaped pieces, some of which are quite large. After you have completed the build you will probably look at it and say: 'yep, worth every penny'.

Buy it while you can!
" With the Sydney Opera House about to be released, I'd advise you to buy one of these ASAP if you already haven't. I built it about a year ago and , subsequently, have built the entire modular building series (of course, this is not part of that series) and its been the most challenging build to date.
I didn't mind the bags not being numbered.
Advice...make sure to build this on something like a piece of plywood. It is very very difficult to move once you have it assembled.

Good idea
" The 272 page book is worth the price. A different, unique and GOOD Lego experience. A lot of history and educational information in the book.
Stimulates the creativity in all of us. If you are looking for an A to B to C list of instructions that results in the creation of a licensed theme, like Star Wars, this might not be for you. If you want to exercise your creativity, learn something about architecture and the history of some of the worlds most famous buildings, then this is a great product. "

Okay, all right, fine....
" Since I'm a big fan of Lego projects that exceed 2000 pieces, at times I have a bit of a problem getting too excited about some of these small architectural sets. With that said, this is probably the best of the small scale buildings offered by Lego. The build is more challenging and different than that you get with some of the other smaller arch offerings that consist primarily of stacking rectangular bricks on top of one another. The finished tower is also much taller than most of the other arch series sets. I also commend the designer for coming up with a clever way/built to get the tower to lean. All in all, it's a good way to pass an hour or two of time until Lego rolls out a large scale Sydney Opera house or a Mini Cooper.

Nice addition to the FLW series
" I'm a little biased as I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work (but not necessarily his personality) and have been fortunate enough to see several of his works in person. This, while on a small scale, is a nice addition to the architecture series. I've built all of the architecture and landmark offerings from Lego. This is similar to the other FLW buildings in that you have a lot of small, repetitive pieces and steps. My last seven lego builds have been modular buildings and the monster house. So, it took a little patience to get back to a sub 2000 piece count set with a majority of very small components. It seemed as if 50% of the build time was on 10% of the building (windows). That's okay, because that's the nature of a FLW building. Still, if you have a problem with a lot of very small pieces, this probably isn't the build for you.
The building makes for a nice desk size display/conversation piece, favorably comparable with the Fallingwater Lego set.
My main complaint is with the colors chosen by the Lego designer. I wish they would have used colors more in line with the actual colors of the Imperial Hotel. A little too much sand color in the lego model and not enough darker colors. With that said, the design of this Lego product compares very favorably with the actual building.
I hope Lego continues with this series and offers a mega piece count project for a FLW building. Both the Imperial Hotel and Fallingwater would be great in a 5000 plus piece count set. Rumors say there is a larger version of the Sydney Opera House on its way for later in the year. I hope so. If we can't have a FLW building in the 5,000 piece count area, the Sydney Opera House would be great.
Thanks for another good offering in the architecture series.

Great concept and great execution.
" First of all, I have no interest whatsoever in the Monster theme. But, for a Monster theme, this is really well done. The mini figs are outstanding and the interior detail is the best that I've seen on any Lego building, including all of the modular ones. The thought that want into the building to make it look like an old, run down house really succeeded. The little details like having the entry steps in disarray also add to the credibility of the design.
Okay, so why did I buy this set? To convert it to a building that will fit in with those in the modular building series. I've already repaired the steps, taken off the steep roof and done some other modifications that are within the scope of what's included with this set. I've utilized pick a brick to buy several dozen pieces that will allow me to change the look of the entire building into something that will fit in better with the other modular offerings.
This is a good value for the money, the theme was carried out successfully by the designer and there weren't ant pieces missing.
The build was moderately challenging. The interior detail and interesting mini figs seem to give it a high playability factor.

Nice set
" Well, for starters, since this is basically an AFOL set, so we can discard playability. Instead, I will rate it's 'display ability'. And, that is excellent. This set was complete so there will be no whining about missing pieces. The overall build is pretty simply and straight forward. This is my sixth modular building and they seem to be getting easier as I go along. Again, this should be considered an AFOL offering as I really can't see where a child could/would want to play with it given the hundreds of other Lego sets that are more geared to children and have a greater playability factor.
There have been some negative comments about the car that's included. Well, it's not a bad car but I could do without it and wish they could have found a way to use the car piece count in the building design. No big deal, just a personal preference.
The mini figs are, well, your basic mini figs. Since I could happily live without them, I'll not comment any further about them except to say they are nicely consistent with the theme of this product.
Th roof design is interesting and visually pleasing. The interior is nicely detailed with a movie screen that shows an actual scene from the 'movie'.
The marquee is very well done with great detail. The stickers are a great addition and, given their size, are very easy to apply and work with.
The marquee is very well done with great detail. The stickers are a great addition and, given their size, are very easy to apply and work with.
Having built a total of six of the modular buildings, I found this one consistent with the others in degree of difficulty and displayability. Scale can be tricky with these modular buildings, so I can see where the theater can only have six seats. Other interior details, such as the concession area, the ticket counters and especially the movie projection area are very well done.
The overall colors used in this building are very pleasing and enhance the displayability.
A good value. I enjoyed the build and it looks great with the other mods.

Great set
" I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I bought this one just because of the controversy. Once it arrived, I found it to be an excellent Lego set. The minifigs are outstanding. While the build is relatively straight forward, the details of the completed set are sure to please any Star Wars fan. If combined with rancors pit, this would make for a very cool display. This is probably the only lego Star Wars set that I will ever buy. Still, I can understand why it gets such high marks. I can also see why, with all of the minifigs and moveable parts on the palace, it would get high marks for 'play experience'. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. For the reasons I've listed, and probably for other ones, too.....
