Beautiful Set

The Lego Taj Mahal is a beautiful set! I enjoyed putting it together and it is very fun to show off. Like many others, I added a lighting kit to really make it pop.
Assembly is repetitive due to the nature of the symmetrical design, but I still found it enjoyable.
After working with legos throughout pretty much all of my childhood, I wanted to return to them as an older person. I'm really glad that I chose this set to come back to, because it really was a great experience. First, I want to note that building this feels like nothing else I've ever built before, even when I would build large sets as a kid. The build itself isn't that hard once you get the hang of it, because the parts are built four times each. The first time might be a little confusing, but it truly is easier than you would think. It took me six days to build it, but I built it on and off for only an hour or two per day. I would recommend this to anyone who grew up with legos and wants to return to them, but I would not recommend this to younger builders, because they would easily get frustrated with this. As for value for money, I would say it's decent. It is a very nice looking final product, and the price really isn't all that bad. Anyway, this is a solid 10/10 build. It's fun, it's rather challenging, and it looks amazing. If you're thinking about buying it, then just do it.
Like it was stated in other reviews, this set is very repetitive but the final product is absolutely beautiful. I love the symmetry of the Taj and the color combination. This is a must have set for any Lego fan.
This is an amazing piece. I reconnected with LEGO’s last year and this is one of my favorites. It has so much detail and is truly stunning when finished.
I haven’t actually finished this build yet because it is so huge and also repetitive, lots of breaks are required so you don’t get bored of it. I am disappointed that the instruction book started falling apart 3/4 of the way through the build, possibly due to having to flip back and forth between pages so much? The book would have been a lovely part of the display for this build, but not with pages missing and falling out.
I built this set over the period of 4 days while quarantined and it’s awesome. The size and detail of this set is crazy. It is a must have for any serious LEGO builder.
This set is amazing and is one of my favorite lego sets, I am glad I have the rerelease, it was worth rereleasing this and I hope they rerelease more d2c sets.
Buyer beware of missing/wrong parts. On bag 3 I was missing 4 pieces. It's never happened to me before, but fine, I get it, it happens. Ordered replacements, they arrived, ready to go again - for about 2 hours. Now, on bag 6, instead of the two 1x3s I need to finish the second facade, I have two 1x4s.
This build was supposed to be relaxing for me and it's been anything but.
I wish I could have put time to finish at infinity, because with 7 bags left to go and parts missing/wrong from a third of the bags already, I'm not sure I even WANT to finish.
