So excited, then so disappointed
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: LegoMom25
I was so excited to put together this lighthouse. I love lighthouses and when Lego came out with this, I couldn’t believe it. Great build, until the end. Light did not work at all. Emailed Lego and was told they would send a new motor after several back-and-forths about testing batteries, etc. Had to take the top section off the check batteries, which were fine. CS rep was great, said they’d send new motor, then got another email from CS saying request was denied. Looks pretty, but doesn’t operate. As the CS rep said, “ A lighthouse that doesn’t light it just a house, and that’s just sad.” Indeed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing!

What an amazing build and display piece. If you happen to own titanic it matches it perfectly. Building the actual tower from bottom to top was one of the best Lego experiences I’ve ever had. Definitely worth the cost.

Too Expensive - Awesome Build
on October 21, 2022
Posted by: FaithfulPear013
Down and dirty, this was wonderful, but think LEGO sets are starting to be over priced. My son (6) and I build a set together every few months - He enjoyed the final stages of the build a lot. He's been playing with the set every day since (10 days). Again, great build, lots of fun, little pricey.... This is probably the last set we buy for awhile...
I was so excited to build this expensive set! It took me a bit to buy as it is costly. Putting it together was frustrating as the pieces don't hold like others. To me this build like an off brand block set not Lego brand. It is stunning once put together and works very well. I may pass on other set at this price as it was not worth the money. Once you have it together don't touch it as parts may fall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful but LEGO needs to offer more

I had been looking at this set since it was up for preorder. It is beautiful now that I have it; however, I used to buy more sets but with LEGO arbitrarily raising their prices it has moved out of most price ranges anymore. Especially since they are stuck in the past and not innovating enough. They are still using regular batteries to power these sets and if you want to display them, which is what these sets are made for, they go through batteries very quickly. There should be a USB power option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What was I thinking?
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: Kenner
After visiting the Montauk Point Lighthouse on Long Island earlier this year, I knew at once I would be purchasing this set on day one! Unfortunately for me, I never stopped to think it through whatsoever. (Piece count-per price point, size, construction, batteries required etc...) all I could see, at the time was the pluses! The Fresnel lens, the cute little building, and of course, the lighthouse itself. Now that my build is complete, I know the rest of the story, most of which I have already stated. My biggest gripe is the cost. In my opinion it is ludicrously priced! But I bought it so that shouldn't be counted against it. I do however dislike the fact that it takes 6 AA batteries, there are some really large obnoxious grey pieces of plastic that make up the rock structure, that more closely resemble Duplo, than Lego! The size, and construction was disappointing as well! For what it cost, it should have much more!! There were however some pluses that were not expected. Contrary to what is stated on the box, the boat does float! Not a big deal, but funny they would go out of their way to state that it doesn't! I also appreciated that the instruction books (two of them) were safely packed in the box inside a rigid sleeve for added protection. As an adult collector, I very much dislike receiving bent up instruction books! Nothing to do with the set itself, but I would also appreciate more care in packaging the boxes themselves. This one arrived somewhat crushed because it was shipped without the added protection of an outer carton. In conclusion, if I had not already purchased this set, I would definitely wait for a better deal to emerge.

Lighthouse

The motorized lighthouse is awesome to see running in the dark especially. I thought it was a fun build too.
