" This set is a very good set for people who are just advancing into the LEGO powerfunctions mania because it is very easy to implement to your LEGO models. Also, it is a good variant for you to buy powerfunctions without giving out money for a whole set for just playing around with the powerfunctions.
But: Now you must be wondering why I marked "Value for Money" with one brick. Simple: While I pay in Switzerland 70sfr. for the set, (about 85 US-dollars!!!!!!!) people in the US pay 30 bucks for it. I find outrageous that we have to pay almost three times the amount than Americans. Already last spring I had to pay 140 dollars more than in the US for the 10196 carousel!!!
But all in all it's a great set.

LEGO Creator - Grand Carousel
It's a wonderful day for a ride on the merry-go-round! This elegant and beautifully detailed LEGO model isn't just for show - it really spins and plays music while the horses and swing boats move up and down! Built with intricate, lifelike ornaments and features, the Grand Carousel is a spectacular addition to any LEGO display or carousel collection. Includes 9 minifigures and LEGO Power Functions motor and sound brick. Experience the romance of this merry-go-round decorated with brightly colored elements! Features 9 minifigures including ride operator! The platform rotates and the music plays! The swing boats and galloping jumper horses move up and down! Lots of realistic details including reflective decals on the center pole, ornate ornamentation, fleur de lys, bejeweled horses and profiles of jesters! The tent-like top is made of canvas! The Grand Carousel measures 15.1" (38.4cm) x 15.1" (38.4cm) x 13.8" (35.0cm)! Requires 6 AA (1.5V) batteries, not included.

Lovely!
" As I saw this set the frist time, I wasn't very interrested in it. But then I took my time looking at it a bit more closer. Then I saw how great and detailed it's made. I showed it to my father, who said it was beautiful… until he looked at the price. Then he said it was exspensive. It was exspensive, ecspecially in Switzerland. That was the big turnoff, because it was 115 Franks (about 105 dollars) exspensiver in Switzerland then in almost any other european country. That I really didn't like. But then he changed his mind, why, is not relevant. Then I built it together. It was quite easy, and I am only 13 years old. There is allot of repeting in it, but I didn't really care. After the seven hours of building, was finished! It was beautiful, everything worked fine. The stuff that didn't work so good was: After 2 days a wheel started squeaking under it. Without breaking the whole plattform, you can not get at it. On horse does not go up and down the whole time, because it's wheel will not always roll. Everything breaks so fast! For example: One cart-thing falls off it's stick. I try to stick it back in. The stabilizer stick falls off. You allways first have too putt the s. Stick back on, and then putt the rest on. I try to putt the s. stick back up, but then the stick falls into the carussel. I try to take the stick back out, but then the left horse falls off of the stick. I get the tweasers to get the stick back out. I remove it and then try to putt it back on. The right horse falls off. I putt the right horse back where it's supposed to be. The next horse falls off.
How you now just read, it's not difficult to break stuff. But still, I love looking at it going arround and arround. Bravo LEGO! "
