Worth time and effort

The only thing I found tedious was the gray but of course I knew that. I don’t try to break any speed trials when I build so I didn’t really get tired of all the little parts. It is just spectacular when it’s done so it’s worth all the effort. One thing I wonder is how guys with their bigger hands can manipulate all the pieces.
This set is just amazing. Watching reviews, everyone said the building is very repetitive which it is, but it’s not a boring repetitive. I enjoyed every bit of it! Recommend this set to anyone looking for a fun long build.
After reading a lot of the reviews I knew ahead of the built to be patient in some ares of the built. Especially the arches. My husband and I were able to work on this together. We got it done working a Few hours a day together for a week. I know a lot of people complain about it being repetitive and just one color. It's so beautiful once it's completed. Worth it in my opinion.
I built this set by myself over 4 days and around 16 hours total. I had to take a couple of breaks because I was the only one that was building it. It’s a repetitive build but a very impressive one. Make sure you take breaks but overall a 10/10 final product, lots of detail and huge!!!
After building the space shuttle and Hubble set, which I loved, my non-Lego-building husband surprised me with the idea of giving each other this monster of a set for Christmas. We both loved our visit to Paris years ago, and I knew we would have a place for this piece in our home, so I somewhat reluctantly agreed. I'm happy to report that the "alternate who builds each step" method worked well, greatly reducing the frustration of so much repetition, and despite a few mis-steps, both of us survived with our marriage intact, Fingers crossed that this means more Lego in our future! P.S. -- do yourself a favor and get a light kit for this one.... it makes a huge difference, and makes it the focal point of any space you put it in.
I loved almost every Lego set I have built over the last 30 years. I was excited to get this set and was extremely disappointed. Yes I expected the repetition build and that was fine. The problem was it fell apart so easy. You can't move it to it's display space because it falls apart way too easy. Unless you build it in the space you plan to showcase it or you glue it together. There's no way to "play" with it. Sorry Lego you really duped a lot of people with this terrible and expensive build.
I loved building this piece, and once done it was really nice to look at. But once I tried transporting it (in 4 pieces) the bottom two pieces would crumble over and over again. I cannot get it back to “normal” without dropping or breaking pieces. Kinda upsetting for how expensive it was…I’m scared to transport it again for fear of losing pieces.
Once built, it’s an absolute stunner! The attention to detail is amazing. The building was repetitive and tedious, although it was expected. I’ve built a lot of LEGOs, but this one, while the best looking, was the worst to build. Not to mention, incredibly fragile. All in all, it’s an amazing set… once built.
