Great set
on December 27, 2017
Posted by: PDXBruce
I missed buying this when it first came out and remember reading about Sting and his son building it when he was on tour. I was sure I'd never get a chance to buy it and then LEGO reissued this beautiful set. I was in line when my local LEGO store opened on November 3 and was very happy to carry it out to my car. It's designed in modules: six at the base, eight for the mausoleum, and then the dome. That makes for a sensible build and it can be disassembled if necessary. There is a bit of tedium, since the architecture of the Taj is all about symmetry. The modules can get repetative, but the plus side is you learn a few tricks as you progress. The engineering of the roof and interior of the dome is brilliant and structurally sound. My 10-year-old grandson helped me at several points and it wasn't beyond his abilities.
The only thing I didn't particularly like when I was done was the "knobbiness" of the dome and the domes of the four chhatris. So I went to Bricks and Pieces and ordered 1x1 and 1x2 tiles and 1x1x2/3 roof tiles to go over all the knobs. I think it cleans up the final product.
Anyway, fun build and a very impressive piece that draws the admiration and comment of everyone who sees it, especially those who have been to Agra.

Lego Taj Mahal is a Nice Display Piece!
on December 22, 2017
Posted by: Pepster
I hope Lego comes up with more challenging sets as the Taj Mahal. When finished the Lego Taj Mahal makes a nice display piece, but fair warning it's fairly huge.
I like that the bags are numbered, for I have a small nook in the family room where I build my lego sets. I understand that people have a whole room dedicated for Lego, but this works out nice for people who don't. I have built 4 Lego sets so far and yet to have a missing piece which impresses me very much. About 1/4th way through the build process I changed my building technique a little and notice it was much easier to have every part separated and the very small pieces put into bins. It takes about 20-30 minutes to separate the pieces, but speeds up the actual build time immensely.
I'm 53 years old, so playability is a non-factor for me, but I would say the Taj Mahal has no playability whatsoever. It's a very nice display piece and now I just have to find a place in a room where I can put it.
I'm glad that Lego re-released this set and to all the so-called "collectors" stop calling yourself collectors. A collector is one who treasures their collections that rarely parts with anything unless it becomes really really valuable. No your just trying to make a fast buck at someone else's gullibility. I'm not a collector, for I build these Lego sets, for me that's part of the fun and it's a challenge.

Wonderful Building Experience
on November 26, 2017
Posted by: AtariVideo
This set is both very fun to build and somewhat of a challenge. I am an adult collector and the expansiveness of the set along with the various architectural features really made this build enjoyable. It is done in sections so it is easy to portion off. It is also very helpful to help gauge progress as these sections are completed. Another home run from LEGO for children and adults alike.

Great build plus my additional extra

Good solid challenging build, added lights to it using copper wire lights that just squeeze between the bricks, found the towers amusingly wobbly, the way it's built is clever in a modular style.

I stayed up all night just to buy this one! i was lucky enough to buy one as soon as lego updated there page bought it The box is huge!!! I love it this is a real lego set here As you open the box there are two white boxes inside which really add weight to the box inside there are baseplates and numbered bags the instruction booklet even comes sealed in a bag the build is very easy to follow and the colors of the pieces are beautiful classic lego white Highly recommend my favorite part of the build was the top middle piece Had a blast building it however a word to lego please release highly sought after sets that were available in the past I also bought this set to support the idea of releasing sets exclusively from the lego vault a two thumbs up

Nice set

This is a very repetitive set; each part is built around four times and then everything fits together. Once it's together it looks great though! I'd suggest lighting it, it makes it pop! It also it easy to transport as it comes apart into three pieces.
I would recommend this to a friend!
