Great set
" Similar to others, I really like this new addition to the Architecture line. The details are great with the use of smaller pieces that can make those details; however, those details come at a stiff price. I would have thought this was a $29.99 item but it comes in at over 10 cents a piece. Given the small pieces at this cost, it is over priced. However, I can't say enough how I like the size and ratio of this set and it really does look great with the rest of the sets. This size should be the standard, the price should not.

Enjoyable but could have been more...
" So the brick bank, long awaited bank build, corner, excellent and happy, but... two story, two buildings, higher price. I am not sure I could ever give a Lego set a bad review so this is not one; however, there were some things I would love to see improved. Let's hit the good, first, another fun modular that everyone, including myself, has wanted for a while. The vault, teller space, offices, all wonderful. The laundry, again, done well in its small footprint. My favorite part maybe was a small one, the green light on the managers desk, just speaks banking. The opportunities...well, it's two stories, first modular to really be only two, and the laundry, I get that we are moving to story based sets, but I have never seen a laundry attached to a bank anywhere, I even googled it, if it exists, then it is a 1 in a million. So my question is why was it needed? Seems like it doesn't belong or could have been it's own future set. I like the way it is done, and great signage but unnecessary part of this set. Speaking of signage, my wife and kids did not know this was a bank from the outside, maybe a Lego National Bank sign or something. Lastly the price, seems like the costs are going up to give us more pieces that do less. I have all the modular sets and the last two seem to be moving away from the tradition. I like interiors, I like exteriors, I like the three story builds, I don't mind a higher price even, but I feel like I am getting less for my money these days. I do think this is a great set to pick up, but it could have been so much better.
