20 Best Lego Kits For Adults (2023 Updated)

As an adult, other than enjoyment, I buy lego that I can display. The Architecture sets are a little difficult in that the heights and widths can be awkward but I have a plan with custom corner shelfing to display these together.

London was enjoyable to build. Always like the bridges and the clear brick elements for the water. 1 thing I did not enjoy was the London Eye. maybe I didn’t build it correctly but seems to come off a bit off perfectly round and very loose sitting.

Think there would be a way to make it more spoked and thus more round and also able rotate.

This was my first LEGO set ever. I was a little daunted when I saw the small size of the pieces, plus the instruction book is picture only – kind of like an Ikea flat pack item. But I was determined to give it my best, and though I made a couple of mistakes along the way – due to misinterpretation of which part went where on my part – I completed it in two days.

(I guess about 7 hours between the two days. )I had a really good time even with the mistakes, since I was able to set them all right. It’s a very satisfying feeling watching the London skyline appear as I went.

Tower Bridge is especially cute!I bought a block separator (sold separately) to help me out since I have bad arthritis in my hands. I didn’t need it much, and I only had to stop a few times along the way due to hand pain.

I’m going to have to buy some more of these – it’s my new retirement hobby!.

Purchased this lego set for my 8 y. o. daughter a few months ago. It comes with a very detailed instruction booklet. She was able to put this together on her own without much issue. She enjoyed every moment of this and it meant a lot to her since we had recently traveled to London.

She wants more of these in the future if they’re available in other cities where we’ve traveled. I highly recommend!.

I’m a huge Lego fan. They make great products, and I’ll continue to get more. As someone who’s done a bunch of sets before, I found this design fell short. There are a few places where it seems the design team “got cute” with the available blocks and just made something more complicated than necessary that’s really hard to build.

It was very hard to fit the pieces together in some areas (e. g. , had to remove a smooth one-square block to install the foot; otherwise, it couldn’t be done). I was also missing a few pieces, which didn’t make the experience any more enjoyable.

Luckily, I was able to pull miscellaneous pieces from other sets to make it work. Happy with the final product, but expect more from Lego on an item like this.

I typically stay away from the Architecture series, because they are usually disappointingly small and overly expensive, especially in relevance to the scale of the model. This is my third Architecture set, with the Eiffel Tower and US Capitol rounding out my current collection.

SO MUCH detail went into the base of the statue, including black pieces where the openings to the viewing platforms are. At first, I thought all the pieces were added in to pad the total count and raise the price, but once it’s all together, the detail is worth it.

This set really shines until you get to the face and head. I personally do not like the use of the spiraled “unicorn horn” pieces for the crown spikes, and the face, as most people seem to agree, is a complete and total letdown.

It really leaves something missing from the overall finished appearance, and kind of spoils the show. Again, no detail was spared in the plinth, but it looks like her face melted off. The overall engineering of the piece is second to none.

There are hidden Technic elements that firmly tie the statue to the base, and the way the flowing robe and arm pieces are constructed and attached are simply ingenious. Bit of helpful advice, inside bag 5 where all the “skin” elements are, the curved pieces that have definite left and right elements are in separate inner bags, so a little care in opening the bags into separate piles will save you many minutes of double and triple checking pieces (you’ll see what I mean when I get there).

Overall, this is a fantastic set, is wonderfully large, but Lego should have produced an all new piece for the face element, pre-printed a face on the “home plate” piece that is provided, or given us a rotten sticker at the very, very least.

The lack of the iconic face in stark contrast to the detail in the rest of the model leaves the whole thing looking unfinished.

Awesome sauce. This set kicks a$$. Very detailed. Do not recommend for ingestion. Works great as intruder deterrent once broken down and scattered in walkways.

product is as described. missing one bag but still very usable for moc builds

Legos dont disappoint, well made, excellent instructions, great finished product

The Taj Mahal model by Lego is a superior design and the top of the tree for architectural models in the creator expert range. Highly recommend this and worth adding lighting and display case. I recommend downloading the instructions (free) from the Lego website which add the ability to zoom in on minute details to ensure accuracy and save eyesight.

Bought this for one of my grandchildren. They are all crazy about Lego. She is a keen 9 year old and is building this at the moment – big project but it has her attention. She is well practised with Lego so no doubt she will get the build completed, even though the age for this is higher, she is coping well so far.

And if she runs into difficulty I know her Lego mad father will be at hand to help. As always an excellent item for a gift and cant wait to see finished job.

When you build it, you feel that it is a medium set but at the end you see a fantastic, big set of Lego. Many bricks, you spend your time with joy. If you have small kids you should build it at the night like me I recommend this set !.

This Lego set, part of the Architecture series, is of some of the notable buildings of Tokyo, Japan. Despite its rather small size, it manages to include a lot of detail. Represented in this set includes Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree, the two tallest structures of Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing, among other landmarks.

I found that the assembly of this set was simple and the included instructions were quite easy to follow. It took me around two hours to put this together. I was pleased with how the final product looks and I think it represents the city well with some of its most notable landmarks.

I do have to say that at a typical price of $59. 99, it really feels overpriced especially considering that this was smaller than I thought it would be. As assembled, it is only about ten inches across.

Even with the current discount (as of this writing) of $11. 99, this is relatively expensive. Overall, this is not a bad way to spend a couple of hours to get a nice display piece made of Legos.

So I bought this as I am a big fan of the Architecture range. This one stood out to me from the get go. I think it’s the colours maybe? I think it’s definitely better to look at then the others currently available New York, London , Dubai.

London and New York being quite bland (do still like them). I enjoyed building this and learning about the structures as you do from the instructions. Not sure how long this will be around for so would defo recommend you picking it up sooner rather then later! Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this addition to the collection. It’s by far one of the most unique, detailed, and eye-catching. It’s especially overdue since Tokyo hasn’t had any attention in the 10+ years of Lego Architecture.

All the details are great: the Tokyo Tower, the cherry blossoms, the pagoda, and of course Mt. Fuji in the background. The only complaint that I have is that the antenna – from the base – of the Tokyo Tower falls off very easy.

I’ve double-checked my build and can’t find anything I’m missing. Just seems like a flimsy design, but it’s good it breaks off in a large chunk so it won’t get lost. Overall great set and I’m really excited to see what other great skylines Lego comes up with next.

This Lego set enables you to build a collection of iconic structures of Paris. Included in the set are the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees, Tour Montparnasse, Grand Palais, and the Louvre with its glass pyramid.

This is entirely an architectural set, so there are no mini-figures included in this set. Since the actual buildings are so large, the scale of this set is quite small, and standard mini-figures would dwarf the buildings.

The tallest piece in the set, the Eiffel Tower, is 8” high and the entire piece sits on a base that measures 11” x 4”. Special pieces in this set include some ridged dome pieces from the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, transparent dome pieces from the Grand Palais, and some interesting transparent pieces from the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre.

Lego rates this set for ages 12+. My 12-year-old nephew enjoyed putting this set together. He enjoys architectural sets a lot, so this is right up his alley. Although he had great fun with it, I see some potential confusion ahead.

The buildings are not to scale with each other, and they are all gathered together on the one base piece, as if they were neighbors. In the real world, these buildings are scattered throughout central Paris, and not within the same block as they appear on this base.

But if Lego were to put these buildings on separate bases so that they could be scattered, the set would have no unity. Hmmm…I guess I’m looking for too much realism; this collection is sort of like a collage postcard, not a model city.

In any case, my nephew hasn’t been to Paris yet, so he doesn’t mind the lack of realism regarding scale and location. I think the set would be a good prequel to seeing the city in person, to get to know the iconic buildings by feel before walking around and in them.

Overall, this is an interesting architectural set, but keep in mind that it has very limited attention to details of scale and location.

Lego architecture are the best educational toys I have chance to buy for my kid. It’s a somewhat sculptural challenge for kids, but an awareness of the mysteries of space and form is very useful. It’s what lifts the solving of a problem into something special.

Making things that test the structural capability of the set is also useful – how far can you cantilever before it topples over? You’ll find that you begin to understand structure after a while.

This is a fantastic LEGO set extending the Architecture Skyline Series with Paris, covering many of the great landmarks of this famous city. If you are a fan of Paris, of LEGO, or of the Architecture Skyline collection, or you think you might be, then this is a great set.

This model is also good for display, and is suitable for older children and adults. The pieces come in 4 bags divided into two groups. When you build it, the instructions will have you build using the pieces from the bags labeled “1”, then once those bags are completed, continue with the pieces from the bags labeled “2”, and so on.

Within some of the bags are smaller bags as well. I’ve found that it’s useful to open all of the bags for the particular number, but keep the pieces a little bit separate. The pieces aren’t randomly distributed between bags – instead, all of the pieces of a particular type may be in one or two bags, so if you dump the bags out and keep the pieces slightly separate, once you’ve found which pile your piece is in, you may find the rest of them in that same pile or in that one and one other.

The instruction book is beautiful; I love that the Architecture series has a much more adult-friendly look. The black booklet matches the box, and the pages inside have black background so it is a very nice effect.

The first 9 pages of the instruction book talk about the city of Paris and the landmarks that are represented in this set, including some nice photographs of the actual landmarks and Paris itself. All text is provided in English, French, and Spanish.

The instructions themselves, in usual LEGO style, are all pictures and symbols.

I received this LEGO set in late December 2021. Wasn’t looking for something to invest a large amount of time and money into something, just something to work on every once in a while to keep myself occupied.

This specific set isn’t very large all put together but contains a very surprising amount of small pieces. Putting the LEGO set together wasn’t any mental strain, in fact it was quite relaxing to assemble this LEGO set overtime.

Once I inevitably finished I was satisfied with the amount of entertainment this LEGO set had bought me for this price it it listed at. Some of the pros of this specific LEGO set is that it was a place I could go if I was bored to spend some time doing something engaging.

I also believed that it wasn’t overly easy where I could finish it in less than twenty mins, but a considerable amount of time is needed to complete this. the con of this LEGO set include the numerous small pieces that are very easy to lose if you are not careful.

Other than that issue minor issue, I sincerely enjoyed this product and suggest this product to any LEGO fan.

This Lego set is a model of the White House which is world famous for being the principal residence and workplace of the President of the United States. This set includes not only the residence section of the White House complex, but also includes depictions of the East Wing and West Wing.

I found that this model does a great job of representing the White House in Lego form. The assembly itself was mostly enjoyable and it took me somewhere between three and four hours to complete the set.

It is definitely targeted toward the older demographic more suitable for teenagers and adults and is strictly a display piece. The only issue I had with this is that the two wings are not very securely attached to the main base which can made handling and moving the completed model tricky.

But, as mentioned above, it is not too big of an issue as this is for display, not playing. Overall, this is a great and detailed model of the White House in Lego and I would recommend this to those that enjoy these more detailed Lego sets.

I gave this to my granddaughter in early February, a late Christmas gift. She put together this in two days. She was on the last part! Excited to add the lights! However the last “part” was not in the box! She could not finish it, or add the lights.

I have ordered another today. I sure hope all of the pieces are there!!! Especially at $100. 00 apiece! It would be nice to get a refund, don’t ya’think?.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I got this for my son. He loves Lego’s and is an experienced builder. He absolutely loves this set. The instructions are clear like other sets and it is packaged well.

The colors are great and he loves that it converts from Optimus Prime to his truck form. This is not a set for beginners but it is fabulous for experienced builders.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. What a great product! This Lego set is huge, with over 1500 pieces, this took me and my son a few days to assemble, but the finished product was worth the time.

My son is obsessed with Transformers. Having a Lego Optimus Prime was a great add on to his collection, as this is his favorite character.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Ị love the Transformer so I enjoy playing this Lego. The quality is good and the design matches with the movie. It takes me a really long time to finish assembling but it worth every second.

This Lego is not only good for kid but also for an adult like me.

This is an easy build and the end result looks really good and from that perspective it easily ranks alongside all my other Lego models (nearly 50 at the last count). BUT this set has a number of issues, all of which have been referred to by other reviewers and all of which I agree with to a greater or lesser extent.

For me the biggest issues are; 1. The doughnut shop is far too small and cramped. 2. The small flat is just that “small”, no bathroom facilities and the fire escape entrance is ridiculous. 3. The prison cell is too small – but I love the tunnel.

4. The newspaper kiosk is too small, out of place, looks as though it was thrown in at the last minute to fill a hole. 5. The main staircase is totally unrealistic with no bannisters and sadly because all the treads are smooth, it is not possible to have a mini figure positioned on the stairs.

6. This is a “pet gripe” of mine, only four mini figures is not enough for a large building. What is needed is at least eight. However, this is Lego, so it can all be altered, which I have done with every other modular building I have and which is what I am now doing with this set.

Of course that means buying more bricks and mini figures (four more ordered and on their way) or digging into my spares (another four or five mini figures already identified), but the many more hours of fun I’m going to have doing this is what makes being a Lego fan so worthwhile.

So I would definitely recommend buying this set and if some elements of the finished build don’t appeal to you, that’s when the real fun begins. For anyone who has read this far, if you are interested, my initial plan is to; a.

completely discard the small kiosk and replace it with a very basic newsstand. The available space will be used to expand the ground and first floors of the police station. b. remove the doughnut shop from the main baseboard, shift the whole remaining building to the left, allowing space to expand the right hand side to fill the available space.

c. construct an enlarged shop on a half sized baseboard to butt up to the left hand side, allowing for the shop to be much larger, plus having a proper staircase up to the flat above, with the possibility of putting a further floor on top of the flat, with bathroom facilities of course.

And if all of that doesn’t look right I’ll take it all down and start again. If every aspect of every modular building was entirely to my liking, for me it would result in me losing a huge element of the enjoyment I get from Lego.

So well done to the Lego designers, I doubt you will ever get to a stage of coming up with a design that pleases everyone, but that’s all part of the fun!.

This is my first Modular set build, and I absolutely love Modular Police Station. I love how the designer has small secrets sprinkled throughout as you build as it helps unravel the mystery of the story behind the set itself.

First, you find the newspaper on the stand talking about a donut thief, then you build the 2nd story where the police station has donuts lying on the table next to the mug shot station, the apartment has a secret door that leads to the donut shop, then the 3rd story with an evidence locker chockful of items pointing to the crime, then a bird with a stolen donut on the window ledge! Who truly is the thief? Did the news stand owner commit the crime to sell papers? Is he the apartment owner above the donut shop with the secret door? Or is it the bird stealing the donuts? That’s what I absolutely love, the story seems to come alive all throughout the entire build and truly sucked me into the experience and I haven’t even begun discussing the building itself! The aesthetics are reminiscent of 1930s Americana with a hint of Art Deco architectural styling.

the side buildings are a bit small, but I’m glad they opened up the donut shop inside to allow more space for displaying all those incredible sweets. The only boring part was stacking brick upon brick to the sides and back walls just because there’s no styling to them.

I know it’s for good reason, as these sets are designed to be placed next to each and would cover the sides anyway, but that was my only complaint. I am very, very happy with this set and plan to look for more modular sets to add to my new collection.

Well done LEGO, well done.

I’ve been collecting the modulars since its introduction in 2007 and, as of late, there seems to be a direction the designers have taken that has radically redefined the series. Albeit, change can definitely be a good thing, but it seems they were more focused on making decisions just for the heck of it rather than applying it methodically.

From the removal of the classic minifigure heads to the use of wacky colors, the line has been gradually stripped away from its more sophisticated and classic approach. There used to be a focus on designing a main building and making that the standalone design.

The designers now lack a focal point and seem to just want to cram in everything they can. The police station loses its grandeur with the oddly placed side buildings. I found it bothersome that they cut into the floor plan at the ground level to fit in room for the donut shop.

I get it, donuts and coppers, but that joke is tired and old. The green building on the side is mainly the prison cell. Why couldn’t that be incorporated into the main building? Why not make the police station larger and have the jail cell in it? Remove the newspaper stand and include.

a police vehicle? The size of the donut shop is way larger than needs to be. Why is there a bedroom on the second floor? That was so odd. The color of the donut shop also draws away attention from the police station as a whole.

It’s the first thing you notice when you look at it from far. The use of tan bricks for the police station was a poor choice. We had that for the Grand Emporium and why not take the opportunity to introduce perhaps a new shade of grey? The details on the exterior are fine, but nothing architecturally striking.

The interior has some fine details, but overall is cramped compared to some of the older modulars and leaves a lot to be desired. The story-driven play feature is there, but is not as creative as the ones we saw in the Detective’s office and Brick Bank.

The minifigures are ok and fit the modular for what it is. The rest of the surrounding details are basic modular faire and if you’ve collected any of the previous modulars it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

I get my review won’t be very popular with some of the newer fans of the series who seem to be swept away by everything LEGO puts out these days, but for those of us who’ve been around to see them devolve it’s just another sad realization that the series we fell in love with is no longer the same.

I’ve been on a Space kick of late and this one has been catching my eye for a while. I am glad I took the plunge and purchased the kit as it was a lot of fun to build. This starts with the instruction book that has a plethora of information on the I.

S. S. which was interesting to read through before I started the build. One downside is the blue background of the instruction manual, I found it distracted from the build experience and made some of the diagrams hard to see – some are in a white background fly out and much clearer.

One good thing about it is there are no stickers, everything is prepinted. With the number of tiles needed to create the solar panel fins this is a very, very good thing. As a completed figure it is enormous and much bigger than I expected.

Looks really good on display and it is really east to adjust the fins for the solar panels and also the white stabilisers. Very happy with the finished look and the sturdiness of it. Despite having a few issues when constructing it because I am ham fisted it was nicely rigid when carrying it upstairs to my display area.

Number Of Pieces: 864 Approximate Price Per Piece: £0. 08 Build Time: 2 Hours.

An exquisite model by a truly international toymaker of a truly international subject! Just completed this having done the Aston Martin and the Saturn V after a 35-year abatement from Lego and thoroughly enjoyed this experience of what is a fascinating subject.

Incredulous to read that this model suggestion was originally rejected! As often with Lego, I absolutely love the engineering standards of the construction. Some reviews speak of the delicacy and precariousness of the finished product, but I didn’t have a problem, it is after all a model not a toy.

I really like the intricate reproduction of the station’s components. Having downloaded the NASA Reference Guide to the ISS (2015), I can see that most components have been captured somehow, are in the right place, and are often done as accurately as the limitations of Lego will allow.

I’m particularly impressed by the Integrated Truss Assembly and the solar panels, but the various habitation modules are not too bad either. I only had two misgivings here: first the Kibo Module’s Remote Manipulator System should be a little more substantial than the small grapple hook provided; and second, I don’t like those flat domes on the underside of the Shuttle Orbiter.

I have two other suggested improvements to this model. First, the longitudinal rods holding the Canadarm 2 in place should be longer without obstruction allowing the arm to slide as if on a rail like on the real ISS.

Second, the instructions could have identified each major component and module, and maybe a bit about what it does and when it was launched. This would have enhanced the learning potential for the project, especially for younger builders, and also showed just how complex the undertaking was.

This aside, I think this is an exquisite model. Hope to see more on the space theme, maybe a really good larger Space Shuttle Orbiter. ?.

I have heard so many complaints about this set from people (like the reviewer before me) who haven’t even bought it. “It’s too monochrome! It’s too repetitive!” Well, it’s a recreation of an actual building.

If it’s monochrome and repetitive, then blame the Romans. But hang on. typical of Lego, when there’s a set that’s fairly monochrome (I’m looking at you, every major Star Wars set), they hide all kinds of fun colours inside the structure.

That’s also true for this set, which conceals colourful pieces in the base – including some rare Bright Green and Flesh-coloured bricks and plates. The build itself is a lot sturdier than I expected (I’m only 1/3 way through at this point) and I’ve already picked up some good building techniques, especially in the SNOT edges around the base.

As for the “too many tan bricks” thing — if you like to use your sets to disassemble later and build your own things with, then you know there is no such thing as “too many tan bricks” – especially those arches and masonry pieces.

You get LOTS of those in this set, for a lot cheaper than buying them on pick-a-brick. As I said, I’m only about 1/3 of the way through the build at this point, but it’s been really enjoyable so far.

Yes, there will be some repetition later, but the finished product looks fantastic (there was a display in the store). Definitely display-worthy. Some sets are worth getting because of how much fun they are to build (Grand Piano was astonishingly fun to build) and others are a bit of a slog to construct, but the end result is spectacular.

I’d put the Colosseum in that category, along with the Taj Mahal. So far, the Colosseum has been a lot more fun to build than the Taj!.

This is the first LEGO and or Set that I have touched in over 30 years. When I first saw the set my first thought was “this was not the LEGO I remember as a kid. I wanted to buy it in a heart beat but thankfully it was not available on the LEGO site at the time.

A few days Later it became available and I pressed the button. I just finished the colosseum less than an hour ago and I’m already looking for my next LEGO experience. First thoughts when I got the box is what did I get myself into! The Piece count was a bit overwhelming when I saw it on on the box for the first time.

Instructions were very easy to follow and mad the experience that much better. First Box and the second half of the second box seems like you will never get this thing finished. After you start going vertical it goes very fast! I the one thing if you did not notice from the picture the rest of the build is a bit respective.

I would lean to something a bit more random if you get board easy. Each section is close to the last with a few minor changes. The base is very solid. I felt very comfortable moving it off the kitchen table when I was finished working on the set.

I would “almost” say carrying it with one hand could be done but not advisable. 🙂 Only one issue I had is part 6308045 came in half 2 different colors and the instructions did not show the difference between grey and black looked almost the same.

This added a a bit of time backtracking a bit but that was all worth the fun of it. If I had the chance do do this set again I think I would. But I think I have the LEGO bug back in me. In looking for something a bit more challenging for my next one 🙂 Thank you Lego, We have a term in the IT world called “Beta Testers.

” If you are looking for a LEGO Beta Tester? Call Me! Cheers!.

This was a great build for me personally. I loved how calculated every piece of this set is, and how it all ties together at the end. I feel that this set closely reflects the real-life details and architecture of the real White House.

Little things like the arches on the back of the west wing, the driveway leading into the east wing, or even the columns on the front of the main house make this an excellent decor piece. Further, the instruction gives some great historical background about each individual wing or house, built in the following pages.

I would definitely recommend this set!.

This skyline set is fantastic when displayed with a light gray background on a black shelf, as mine is. I like how most buildings here can be displayed from more than one angle, although the Flatiron Building is a little bit bland from the backside.

Still, you have to understand that at that small of a scale, that was probably the most appropriate thing for the designers to do, so I respect them for making that decision. That goes for the Statue of Liberty as well, as I read some of the other reviews here, and that also was probably the best choice for the designers to do was using that small sand-green microfigure.

Sure, it doesn’t have a torch, but if the figure were manufactured as its own design specific to this model, it would be a lot more expensive to produce, and thus the cost of this set could’ve been quite a bit more, something that could’ve deterred a lot of this set’s potential customers.

The whole thing, though complicated in some areas (Empire State and One WTC), is fairly sturdy, and captures the most iconic New York sights well. It is (imo) the best of the Skyline series, in the aspects of color composition, displayability, sturdiness, and usage of space.

It isn’t overly lacking but also doesn’t cram too many structures in a limited amount of space. Thanks LEGO!.

“If I can’t go to New York, I’ll make New York come to me”, was my thought when I ordered this set. After the 1989 Batmobile this was my second Lego Set I build during the lockdown. To compare the two would be somewhat of a disservice to this set, obviously this was gonna be an easier and quicker build.

Luckily it was still an enjoyable build. The fact that four of the five landmarks are buildings makes it a bit repetitive and I agree with the criticism of The Statue of Liberty. The inclusion of one of NY’s iconic bridges could’ve made this set a bit more varied.

Still, overall I had a great time building this set and I definitely recommend it.

I am a huge fan of the Lego Architectural series and have bought and built most of the sets. I am particularly fond of the Skyline series. These sets are labeled age 12+, but they are clearly targeted to more mature builders, of which I am one.

That said, if you are considering purchasing one of these sets for educational purposes, you would be spot on. Each set features well-known landmarks from an internationally-renowned city. The builds themselves are intricate and as detailed as possible, given the limited space.

A particular plus is the premium build instructions booklet, which provides details concerning the landmarks. Guaranteed, you will learn something. A weakness of these same elegant booklets is that with very few exceptions they will not lie flat.

All sets are elegant and suitable for display. A real bonus feature is that since the sets are so narrow, they are relatively easy to display. For example, most of the sets will easily fit on a bookshelf in front of the books.

The New York City skyline set includes the Flatiron Building, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and the One World Trade Center building.

Do not be put off by lesser reviews of this set! It’s an amazing set and is worthy of the highest praise. If you buy this set and are upset by the fact that it is only half of the pyramid… well that’s your silly fault as the box clearly shows that the completed build is only half of the pyramid! Go ahead and buy two and put them together if you so desire!.

Really good fun. I love Egyptian things and this is a really fun representation how the Great Pyramid could have looked back in the day. The instruction booklet is also full of information and facts on the history and design choices for the set.

Can’t wait to get it finished and displayed.

Be very careful you are only getting one half of the pyramid. To build the pyramid you have to buy 2 of these sets making the price £250 plus superfluous packaging and instructions – a bit wasteful really.

A great shame that the full pyramid was not included for say £200 as the extra Nile etc parts could be deleted.

I really like the details of this LEGO set. It was somewhat easy to put together; however, there are parts in the instruction manual that are hard to make sense of. I eventually got it together, if you’re not detail oriented, there is a high likelihood that you’ll forget to add some pieces to the base.

Also, it seems to come with extra pieces that you can change out based on your preference; I’m not exactly sure what all the pink wheels are for.

This Lego kit brought back great memories of our pre-COVID trip to Singapore and includes many of the main architectural highlights of the city. This kit is easy to assemble and doesn’t take too much display space.

As an architect myself, I appreciated the accuracy, attention to detail and attractiveness of the final model. Highly recommended for young and old Lego fans alike!.

An excellent gift if your child wants some Dark Troopers as they are somewhat new therefore a little rare. It is not too expensive and the price is more in the mini fig rather then the set itself. If you already have Star Wars LEGO especially Mandalorian then this set will get its hours of use.

Finally, a great gift for a reward of achievement, kid’s birthday and a good gift to pit under the tree.

This is a GREAT Lego set! I loved building it! My favorite part to build was the TNT feature and the base, by the way this was my 3rd or 2nd Lego Minecraft set! and if you love Minecraft (specifically the Nether) this will be a HIT Lego set for you! My real age is 8.

Delivery was sooner, than initially estimated. The box with the Lego set was slightly damaged.

Got this for my nephew last Christmas. He’s collecting lego since he was 4 years old and he’s so happy about it.

A superb Lego Architecture set. The level of detail and the intricacy of the design make this a totally absorbing model to construct. The original designers have created a real winner with this set. The model has three distinct layers which can be removed after completion.

The central roof section can be removed to reveal the internal mausoleum which can also be removed to show the tomb in the central nave of the structure. I’m absolutely delighted with this particular set and consider it superb value for money in view of the pleasure it gave me in building the structure.

I have always dreamed of visiting the Taj Mahal. Such a beautiful and special building, unlike any other that I’m aware of. I was so excited to receive this kit. It arrived in a Lego box, made of cardboard, with a clear picture of what can be expected within.

There’s plenty of repetition in this build, to ensure the symmetry of this beautiful building is accurate. It can be quite challenging, I needed to take lots of breaks which added to the build time. The details in each piece really are incredible.

I would love to see more buildings in the architecture range. I’d love to collect them all. I’d fully recommend this item to anyone who loves Lego, travel and appreciates architecture!.

I bought this as a Valentine gift for my husband, which was well received. It took him a week to build it, as he had to fit it in to his spare time. Once assembled it looks striking, although, a tad expensive considering you have to build it yourself.

I will recommend.

This is a fantastic Lego set. One of the best value for money sets in a long time. It is HUGE when you put it together. Not too big, but very dense. The ship’s main grey base is formed with a clever mix of brackets set off at unusual angles, which is kept stable by careful layering of plates.

If it were me, I’d have added some more substructure, but as far as official sets go, this one is in my top 10 favourite Lego sets of all time. It is perfectly put together, and it doesn’t come with projectile weapons, which I appreciate (too many spaceships have guns for no good reason nowadays.

This one is a nostalgic look back to the time of space exploration, rather than space battle, in Lego themes) I was tempted to bump this down to a 4 star due to some stability problems but it’s really brilliant for such an affordable Lego set.

Compare this to the £350 castle that’s not as visually interesting, and you’ll see what I mean. The set has some stability issues (the side boosters and landing pads can come apart easily, as the stress point aren’t reinforced properly) and the panels near the front can come loose, but it’s nothing a simple mod can’t fix.

9/10 for me. So 5 stars. – Grumblebricks.

This is how my Galaxy Explorer’s Arrived on 2 separate days. One looks like it got ran over by a car and the other 2 look like they’ve been used in the egg drop experiment. ATTENTION WALMART AND THE 3RD PARTY DRIVERS –> STOP USING BAGS WHEN A PROTECTIVE BOX IS NEEDED! Would you want your gift to arrive like this??? I don’t know who’s responsible for this practice but it needs to stop NOW! In both cases (caught on Ring) the driver hops out of their car and chunks the bag 10 feet onto my porch.

As if another 4 steps and setting it next to the door was an Olympic sized hurdle. and just in case you’re wondering. we DO NOT have a moat filled with alligators surrounding our house. I can’t imagine Walmart is very happy with the returns and how much money, time and effort is wasted by not placing items in boxes and having competent drivers.

This review is just based on the design, package and reviews I’ve seen online – not opening it til my birthday 🙂 Lego have done a great job of capturing the classic 1979 design, and also greatly improving the construction methods used to build this much bigger model.

I wish it had the baseplates of the original, and the communications tower, but I assume they were dropped to keep the costs down (seeing the castle set at 344. 99 makes me really glad this is under 100).

Can’t wait to build and display this. BTW – I’m also very happy with Smyths’ delivery options and speed of delivery. You can choose a home delivery or pick up from a collection point. Thanks, and I look forward to buying more from Smyths.
