Beware this misleading set !
" I know there are a lot of companies out there in this sad world that will mislead you without having any remorse of doing so, just for you to buy their products. What I didn't know, was that LEGO would play that same game. This "Playable Piano" is not a playable piano. You hear me correctly. Not a playable piano. This is a false statement. All you can do is plug your smartphone and download the app which offers a very limited selection of songs (you cannot add new songs by your own, it's ridiculous), and then your smartphone plays these few songs, and then the piano keys are moving down and up to give the impression that the piano is playing the music. Yes, then again you hear me correctly, the piano doesn't have any speaker, it doesn't play the music, your phone is doing it all. What is even more sad is that the keys of the piano are repeatedly moving in the same order, and keys are moving without matching the right music notes. This was a basic thing, LEGO..... Now, knowing all this, this set is not worth its price at all, and I do not recommend it. Never never never. I am extremely disappointed and unsatisfied of LEGO. Avoid wasting your money on this misleading set.

It looks like a rushed set
" Visually, I think the set is very beautiful. Color choices, the shape of the buildings, the whole look is great ! And I am extremely happy that his set is not a corner one. We have too many corner modulars compared to the straith ones. How many corners are we suppose to have in our city mocs ? lol. Now, where it goes bad is the lack for attention to details inside the building. A design very limited. The basement is just too poor, I mean, you got a table with something on it (I don't even know what it is) and the ground of the basement is not even covered (green from the starter plaque). And the set is very very light compared to all the other modulars. With all due respect, you know what I think ? I think LEGO was short on time and had to rush for designing and releasing this set. They sure went like "Oh no! Already the time to put a new modular on the shelves ?!?! We forgot ! Hurry up !" lol probably not that exact way, but still, I am sure it was something like it, because it really looks like LEGO was really rushed on time for this one. I hope the next modular will be better.

Highly problematic and frustating set
" LEGO fans and Master Builders, be aware that this set is way too problematic for the price it is sold. At 489,99$ CAD + taxes (for brick sake!), any mistakes or errors are therefore unacceptable. First, and all people who build this set will agree on that, the many green color variations..... LEGO, When I read your responses to that complaint (on other reviews), yo ualways say that it is due to different batches, that these are things that happened, like if it was normal. Well, just don't mixed differents batches together !!! What's the joke ??? If you know that from batch to batch there is a quality control issue on the color variation, do not use 2 different batches for a single box set ! Second, the instructions issue. Many misleading steps, even errors, from step to step. This was suppose to be a highly pro set. A collector item. Well, when we put all your mistakes together, and we compare with the price tag, it sounds more like a big slap on the face. I am aware that I may sound very severe on the back of LEGO. Don't get me wrong, I love LEGO so much and I have been a true and loyal fan for decades now. And knowing that LEGO is an experienced company, I am always angry and sad when I get face to face with a highly problematic set (even more when we keep in mind the price of the set...). This set could have been a masterpiece, a true jewel, but unfortunately LEGO, you have failed on this set. I propose you give extra VIP points to all those who purchased this set. Readers, if you like this idea, hit the LIKE button.

A masterpiece !
" What a beauty ! I have not a single negative point to say about this set. Colorful, full of life, well designed. We need more big city modulars like this one. Get this massive chunk of city before it goes out of stock, because you would not want to buy this set from resellers on Ebay and Amazon.

PERFECT
" I will be short: This set is perfect ! Beautiful, emblematic, fun, good value for money, and highly displayable. You want this set in your collection. I love when LEGO make these emblematic sets, and I hope we will get a lot more in a near future :)

Too expensive for what you get...
" Visually, the most beautiful train made by LEGO (in the City theme), and by far. But to be honest, it is quite the only positive point I find to this train..... The value for money is not very appealing. If you plan to play with it, make sure to buy a ton of batteries, for it is extremely energy hungry. And I mean it, extremely ! The minifigs you get are very basic. I would have like at least 5 or 6 more minifigs with this set. And another passenger wagon wouldn't have been too generous from LEGO. My best advice for you: Don't buy this train, unless it is discounted at a very lower price.

Perfect for any city moc
" I was first very reluctant about the price, for the images don't give it justice. Then I bought it a on discount. This set is big ! And just a perfect fit in any City MOC. To be honest, I really have nothing negative to say about it. Most of the time, In find that Creator 3in1 sets need some improvements, like if they were specifically designed for younger LEGO fans. But this set need no modification whatsoever. You build it, and you put it directly in your city. A must have, really :)

" I am not really into the Winter Village sets (althought I love winter and Christmas), because I find these sets to small for the price, and not very appealing. But this one is completely at the opposite. Very colorful, good value for money (not insane, but still good), fun to build, and most of all, I love the fantasy/fairytale aspect of the Gingerbread House. LEGO really should create a specific theme of fairytale houses and castles. I bought this one for its display value, and if LEGO one day re-release the Santa Claus Workshop set (because the original set is just not buyable on EBAY and Amazon, its ridiculous how resellers are just too greedy), then I will build a North Pole village, including of course this Gingerbread House set :)

Probably one of the best LEGO sets ever made !
" I give this set a perfect score of 5/5 ! Beautifuly imagined and very well designed. The money value of this set is just amazing. 89,99$ CAD for a 1070 pcs set with 7 exclusive minifigures, its pure goodness ! LEGO should do more sets like this one. Probably one of the best LEGO sets ever made !
