My best personal gift
on December 7, 2017
Posted by: Aphasia
I've wanted this lego for years but when I was going to get it it was retired. So finally they re released it so I jumped to buy it and was up at 4am the day it came out but I was put on backorder since so many people wanted it. The build itself is difficult but the instructions are very very good and you don't have a million parts at a time on the go making it easier to find the parts you need. The Taj Mahal build is great and it looks amazing!!! Completely worth me being up really early to buy and spend that money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Beautiful Set,Boring Build, A Satisfied Customer

Its great that Lego listened and brought back this set that so many people wanted. It looks amazing and is a physically big set and good show piece. It is a relatively boring build though, lots of repetition and standard techniques (although seeing as this is a copy of the 2008 version they may have been new then). The reputation is more down to the fact this is a model of a real building which is symmetrical, so I don’t think that is a knock against Lego.
Obviously, lots of white but the instructions keep it clear. People have complained about building the windows out of 1x1 plates, while that is annoying it gives the windows a much closer look to the real buildings windows so its worth the hassle.
While the build wasn’t particularly exciting, seeing the structure grown to completion was very enjoyable and the over all the product is 100% worth it. If you like buildings and can get this set you should, you won’t be disappointed, its an eye catcher.

Beautiful and Fun to Build
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: LegoFanFromFlorida
I have wanted this set for a few years but I never thought I would actually own it one day. It is everything I was hoping for and more. The building looks beautiful and it is a perfect size, large enough to admire the detail but not too big where you can't find a place to display it. I think it looks so much nicer than in the pictures too. The instructions are very easy to follow and pretty short since many of the groups of steps are for 2 or 4 copies of the same part of the building (4 columns, 4 sides, 4 corners, etc.). I would recommend this set to anyone. It has become my favorite LEGO set.

Return of a Classic
on December 2, 2017

I was beyond excited when seeing that Lego was re-releasing this set. Being the now second largest set ever released, I had been wanting to get my hands on it for years. The details on it are beyond gorgeous and it's definitely a show-stopper of any collection.
The overall building process is not very complicated, especially since it requires repeating mostly the same steps four times for each side. The repetitiveness of it, and the pain of stacking small studs for the widows are the only thing that prevented me from giving this set a 5/5. As a warning, the finger tips will be in pain if doing it all at once. There's still a good amount of challenge for expert builders, mainly with the set comprising mostly of white bricks. Pay close attention to the dome, it's easy to misplace pieces there.
It's a fun build, and with a lot of the steps repeating, it's a good one that a group of people can work on simultaneously. Thank you for bringing this one back, Lego. It's a crowd pleaser!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful Building Experience

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.
