I love Sherlock Holmes and there are few IP’s that I enjoy that Lego makes products for, so I was excited to see this kit. I also loved the book self decor idea, it is sometimes hard to find a spot for Lego builds. I wish Lego would make more book shelf pieces and made more kits using older IP’s.
This has got to be in the top three of the most incredible Lego sets I have ever built!!! The amount of detail that went into this is incredible! I was amazed how the “book covers” themselves were actually built. I was afraid they would break. I love all the intricacies from the violin on the wall to the secret library. I think it’s incredibly cool seeing the whole alley while the book is closed! It’s also incredibly easy to transport which was very surprising! My only complaint are the stickers because I’m a perfectionist. But I refuse to let that take away from my rating. If you are looking for a gift for a Lego lover or for a Sherlock Holmes fan, BUY THIS!
A delightful build that really captures the imagination and vibe of the Sherlock Holmes series, and I really like the variety of minifigs and all the details from the cobblestones to Sherlock's study to the little flowers and plants on the windows. I did find putting the windowpanes in to be really fiddly, but the effect is well worth the effort.
Fantastic build - set has so many details. Love how the instruction manual describes from which part in the novel the details come from. Super fun to build. If you are a fan of Holmes, it is a must!
