This does not begin to compare to Lego construction kits. It was very difficult for our 12 year old granddaughter to put the pieces together and the pieces would not stay together. I would not buy another construction product from that company.

Lego Architecture Series Set Of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price of this toy, which is $80.00, this lego set is a huge disappointment. It takes a child at most 30 minutes to assemble all 4 buildings and they are quite small at about 5 inches tall each. There is very little detail and very little fun involved. I highly recommend you not buy these.

LEGO Architecture Rockefeller Center (21007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a lifelong LEGO fan, as have many men my age (25), but there came a point where it was no longer acceptable to be displaying my Star Wars models on my desk at work. The architecture series has revitalized my sheer joy of LEGO construction by providing me both the joy of building a set, coupled with the pride of showing it off. While the price is a little steep (welcome to the world of LEGO), for such a small and simple set (it only stands about 5 inches tall), the excellent quality and classic design of the set are well worth it. It even provides interesting facts in the instruction book, expanding the experience and tricking you into learning while you play.
I have this set placed proudly on my desk at work, and my coworkers are often surprised to learn it is a LEGO set at all. Although we may outgrow sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by heaps of LEGOs, this set is an excellent buy for anyone looking to reclaim a small part of their youth.
The set is, however, not exactly durable, as one direct hit with a Nerf basketball sent me scrambling for pieces. The set is not meant to be played with, so much as displayed.
All-in-all, the set may not have the same value as your typical children's toy, but the differences provide new and unique offerings that you may not have thought about when you heard the name LEGO.

LEGO Architecture Fallingwater (21005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First things first, this isn't really a "traditional" Lego set: while all the pieces are things you'd recognize from 25 years ago, the set is clearly aimed at a much older audience. The box even states its recommended for 16+. I'm 30, a big fan of architecture and I've always enjoyed Legos (but hadn't bought a set in over a decade), so when I heard this set had been created I leaped at the chance to place it in my new home. I'm not disappointed.
When constructed, the structure isn't big: the base measures 10" x 5" and its 4.5" high, but its quite complex (more complex than the sets I remember as a kid) and feels substantial when completed. There are well over 800 pieces and approximately 100 pages of instructions. The instruction book also includes a few short essays on Frank Lloyd Wright and Fallingwater. The assembly instructions are well done and putting it together took several hours but no confusion.
You can't tell by looking at it, but the structure is actually designed to come apart: the house is in several pieces that stack on top of each other and then slide into the base; this ability to do a blow-up diagram lets you examine some of the forms that were used in the structure. Of course, you can't expect this set to be a very precise reproduction of the actual landmark, but it definitely captures its essence.
The set uses only a handful of colors that seem inspired by the colors Wright would use in some of his sketches --it gives the completed piece a very mature look. Once it was done I placed it on a shelf next to various books on architecture and modern sculptures. This is a very substantial piece when fully constructed, and if it got your attention like it did mine, I think you'll be satisfied with it.

LEGO Architecture Farnsworth House 21009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit is available on the LEGO site for under 60 dollars. Private sellers often inflate prices to twenty dollars or more over retail. Be sure to shop around before paying the high prices of resellers.
This kit is fun for anyone who enjoys mid century modern architecture. A short build and a very small model, perfect for your desk or bookshelf. The original Mies house is simple and only one room, around 1500 sq feet. The model reflects this design and even includes tiny furniture. Get it for a decent price and you will be happy with this kit.
