Awesome masterpiece
on January 7, 2018
Posted by: Luci

I bought this set for myself, but my two grandsons built it for me. They have graduated into the Lego creator and expert sets after building The Disney castle, Tower Bridge, Ninjago City, London bus.
This set was a challenge but they each built 1/2 — this was easy to do because of the nature of the building. The detail is awesome from start to finish and the finished product is magnificent. It is a large piece and deserves an appropriate setting for display. I have received many compliments on it.
Eldest grandson,age 11, is now building Millennium Falcon 75192 and younger grandson ,age 10 is starting Big Ben! I am pleased to have been a part of their love affair with Lego. We have been buying Lego sets for many years. The one down side I see is that once one builds the larger creator and expert sets, it’s kind of hard to get excited over the small sets. So Lego, we are all for bigger and tougher sets to come.

Bringing more sets out of the closet

This set is an exceptional build. I’m glad LEGO has decided to pull this set out of mothballs, I would love to see them pull some more out and do reissues of the Green Grocer or Cafe Corner or any of the early modular buildings.

Me and my brother spent 8 hours to finish this masterpiece. It's simply the best Lego we have ever seen. It is so beautiful that I can't even describe it. You gotta to buy this and build it by yourself. We hope to visit the real Taj Mahal in the future.

Taj Mahal
on January 2, 2018
Posted by: Pusheen
I am actually writing this on behalf of my daughter's experience. (There is no category for her age--she is 12--so I selected the closest option.) She received this kit for Christmas and is enjoying the build immensely; she is about a third of the way through the structure after spending part of a couple of days on it. I believe her enjoyment disproves the idea that this set is inaccessible to children. In the past she has also built the tower bridge, Big Ben, palace cinema, detective's office, Parisian Restaurant, pet store, and others. The Taj Mahal is one of her favorites!

Stunning, Beautiful and Legendary
on January 1, 2018
Posted by: BarberSam13
I was so excited when I saw that the Taj Mahal set was being re released as I never had the chance to get the original of this legendary set, up until the 2017 Millennium Falcon was released this was the largest Lego set ever made, so I knew I had to buy this and have it in my collection!
Firstly this is not a 'new' set, it is a re release of the old creator Taj Mahal and from the research I've done there isn't anything different about the two other than the box art and a couple of sections in the building process are in a different order, so if you're like me and don't have the original then I strongly recommend you buy this, but if you have the old one then there isn't really much point in getting this one, especially at the price it's at.
This set took me 3 days to build and it was pretty full on but still enjoyable at the same time, the vast majority of the build was repeated 4 times as it has to be cemetrical. The build isn't overly difficult for adults or older kids but young kids will probably need help from a parent. Even though a lot of the build is repetitive it doesn't get boring at any point and you really feel like you've accomplished something once it's complete as the end product is truly magnificent!
I was shocked at how huge the finished model is, it is absolutely beautiful and has a real presence in a room, it is definitely a set I would 100% recommend as it is a fantastic addition to anyone's collection and is a beautiful Lego construction of one of the 7 wonders of the world!
Easily a 5/5!

Great overall, but...

I think that visually, this is a stunning and exceptional set.
There are a lot of tedious and repetitive building steps that are a result of what is being built (the Taj is supposed to be completely symmetrical) and most of it is built in 'quadruplicate.'
There were two things that bothered me about the design, however. One is the structural integrity of the base (the outer terrace) didn't seem as well designed as it could have been. The six detachable segments aren't an issue if you have no need to ever move it, but do not hold up if you do. My other issue is that it appears a lack of understanding of the true architecture of the building. Anyone who has ever been to or studied it will know that it was created to be perfectly symmetrical, and while there is a limitation to what can be done with LEGO, the way the elements were situated in a few spots seems completely ignorant of this. It is correctable for an advanced builder, but just seems lazy, especially for such an otherwise intricate set.
But again, I will say that the final model (after my own fixes were made) is a beautiful and stunning piece.
I would recommend this to a friend!
