Great display model, even 12 years later.
" Build:
This set's build is not for the faint of heart, even with the less advanced building techniques compared to today's sets. It has pieces that are small and the same color (for the most part), leading to confusion. On top of that, expect a large amount of repetition in the build. But if you are up for the challenge, building this behemoth is very rewarding to see become larger and larger.
Playability/ Features:
There is 0 playability with this set, so this would not make a great gift for younger builders. Instead of aiding in playability, the features of the set are instead dedicated to looks and utility. The designer did a fantastic job recreating the look of the Taj Mahal in spite of the limited part palette, making for a fantastic and eye-catching display piece. Along with great looks, the feature that allows for the separation of the set allows for easy and painless transport and storage.
Differences Made:
The set is virtually identical to the 2008 release in the parts department aside from the change in color of a few technic elements and the inclusion of a part separator. The main change comes in the build experience through the inclusion of numbered bags, making the build miles less frustrating to build than the original.
Overall:
If you have the patience and like the look of it, this set may be for you. If not, it would be best to stay far away from this set.
