"I am a huge Jim Henson and Sesame Street fan. Thank you to the Lego ideas designer for submitting this fantastic set.
However, I did not appreciate the asymmetrical front of the iconic brownstone and the open side design of Hooper's store - so for the first time in my 35 years of building LEGO I redesigned the set. I adjusted so the 3 windows were in the front and the open side of Cookie's apartment was not showing. Elmo's room needed a wall to provide privacy so I added that. These changes allows for better display and if putting it in your modular city it just works better.
Overall - the easter eggs, the minifigs, and the overall play features are great! Brings back such fond memories of childhood. Thank you LEGO!"
