Perfect—except for the missing Grover
on January 5, 2021
Posted by: SesameStreetFan1
Everything about this induces joy! The quality and details are astounding and the set is purely amazing. Sadly, the only defect is that Grover is missing. For those of us who grew up with the original Sesame Street, to not have a Grover character is a disappointment. I realize Elmo is the face of Sesame Street for many years now, but I imagine this set is purchased more by those for whom Sesame Street is nostalgic—so Grover should have been included. LEGO should create a Grover character that can be purchased to go along with the set. Aside from the missing Grover, this set is absolutely beautiful and the cutest thing I’ve seen for years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The amount of detail is astounding
on December 27, 2020

If you're a sesame street fan, it's a no brainer. The minifigs alone may be worth half the price of admission. It's not cheap (friends cafe is about same amount of pieces and half the price) but the amount of detail they packed in to around 1000 pieces makes mos eisley cantina feel more like duplo by comparison.
Even if you're not a sesame street fan, it's a fun and challenging build and personally I think provides better value than some of the other city/town designs
One complaint though - where's the count?! you included everyone else in there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the idea, but execution is lacking
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: KalamazooBlue
For anyone who grew up on Sesame Street, it’s hard not to love the idea of this set. And it does have many cool features, I couldn’t not get it. I also realize no matter what they did, they couldn’t make everyone happy.
That said, the build is poorly designed in terms of stability. The gray plates that fit together for the foundation do not want to stay together. It took standing up and applying significant pressure to get them to stop popping apart.
This is because the set relies solely on pieces underneath to hold them all together. There are many places where pieces on top could have connected across the plates and made it much sturdier. Very unlike LEGO. I ranked the build as challenging solely based on this factor.
I know they haven’t done this before for any Idea set, but I really hope they consider an add-on minifigure set. I’m sure it would sell.
In case Lego actually reads these...
My wish list includes more characters.
Where is Grover? Such a missed opportunity - they could have easily included a red cape and a helmet for a Super Grover transformation!
Or Rosita? Diversity would be nice!
Speaking of diversity - a big part of why Sesame Street was groundbreaking is that it featured an integrated city neighborhood. Something that is still rare. Redlining is no longer legal, but it’s impact is still with us.
I realize they had to include Elmo. But a whole floor dedicated to him? That seems like overkill. I would have loved to see Gordon & Susan’s apartment instead. They do live in the main building.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Loving recreation of the iconic street & muppets
on November 8, 2020
Posted by: slugbiker
A loving recreation of the iconic street and characters. The build was quite enjoyable (although tons of different little pieces), and I appreciated all the little homages to characters that didn't get a minifig. Normally I would not like how many stickers there were, but most didn't require that much careful alignment and they added a ton of fun details. Love the softer material used for Big Bird and some of the other minifigs; it makes them so much nicer to handle. I'm wistful that they did not include Grover as minifig. It would be great if could make Grover (and Super Grover! - maybe just a different torso & cape) and the Count.

Fun, fun set
on July 5, 2021
Posted by: Legomastermom
This set had me singing the Sesame Street theme song the whole time. I will say, the black background on the pages SUCK! It makes seeing dark colored pieces very difficult. Fun build though and was able to get it completed in a day. Super cute set to look at.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from LEGOBy Jane, LEGO® Customer Service, July 6, 2021
We're so glad you enjoyed building your 123 Sesame Street set! You'll also enjoy knowing that we've already decided to move away from the black background in our building instructions. We don't have a timeframe just yet, but the decision was made based on feedback from fans just like you!

Beautiful fun set but milk carton was different
on December 29, 2021
Posted by: Lego Mum
I loved building this set with my 6yo son. We love Sesame Street, and this set allows for tons of “playability”, since it is made like a doll’s house.
We didn’t have any issues at all following instructions and we found them to be pretty clear, it took us a couple of hours between playing with the figurines while building it.
The only down we could highlight is that the carton of milk that goes outside Bert and Ernies window room, isn’t the one with the little cow and flower drawing like on the packaging and manual photo, but a carton with a glass half full, which is less charming. I here join a photo of our set and a photo of the packaging so to show the two different milk cartons.

Pleasantly surprised
on March 29, 2022
Posted by: StevieDoo
I purchased this set for its nostalgic appeal. I was expecting a Sesame Street build to be very simple, but I was pleased to find a surprising level of complexity and attention to detail. Combining that with my love for both Sesame Street and Lego made building this set way a more enjoyable experience than I thought it would be. The little flying saucer for the Martians was a heartwarming touch for me too. Yip yip yip yip yip, Lego, leeeeeeeegoo."
