"This set looks brilliant when finished; the purple roof is fantastic, but it's not really a plaything, more of a display set. This is absolutely fine by me, however I thought the construction process could be a bit tedious at times. The two side rooms are exciting to build, and the roof "flap" is part of that. The main tower is more delicate. I love anything mechanical, but the gears which connect the clock hand to the rotating panels are very frustrating. I've tried and tried to line the gears so that the bat is right in the center of the display at 12 o'clock, but no, there's no way to have the horizontal and vertical axis line up. So the bat shows up at 11:58 or 12:02, depensing on how the hand or the internal gears are set up. That's underwhelming. The vines on the side of the house won't stop falling either."
