Good product
on October 23, 2022
Posted by: LastUsefulWolf
I was not expecting to see the orange light inside the house itself since it had been a while since I looked at the ad for this product. Overall well built and designed, there are a couple bits that could have been stronger but still good. It's not super bright but it's bright enough to look good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great set
on October 23, 2022
Posted by: Adam
I’m from Michigan and have visited many lighthouses so this was a must-but for me. Really enjoyed building the set and discovering the mechanisms that make it work. I think it’s a unique set and I’m excited to display it too.

Lots of fun
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: Srino
Went together like clockwork. I had to halt construction waiting for a part. Also, the first instruction manual skipped approx. 15 pages. I downloaded them so it was fine. Everything works, and I really like how the light rotates slowly, like a real lighthouse. Well done. Thanks.

Overall, a decent build
on December 3, 2022
Posted by: HarmlessAntelope051
Overall, a decent build, but not quite worth the value for money. Gifted this to my brother and built it with him over this past Thanksgiving weekend. There were a few small but notable issues, the first being that the pieces in bags 9 and 6 were intermingled, and required us opening all the bags with these labelled numbers in order to proceed with the build properly. Additionally, we didn't receive any Lego stickers needed for the small house's decor (as fas as I remember, we needed at least two, with one being the image for a portrait hung upon the wall). My brother was also a bit disappointed as he was expecting that the lighthouse itself would be able to be opened up for one or two interesting mini set pieces within, but that wasn't the case, as the tower just hid the motor's wiring; this last one is on me, as I should've gone over the build design thoroughly prior to purchase. All in all, it was a relatively nifty build.

It's never fun to have something missing from your set. Try double-checking that the sticker sheet hasn't gotten caught in the box flaps or slipped in between building instructions pages. If they aren't hiding there, get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV and we'll get them requested for you!

Very nice build
on July 6, 2024
Posted by: Thebeardedbuilder
This was a very fun build to create. The end result was a beautiful piece of art that I could display nearly anywhere and it fit well. A few critics though would be to have highlighted borders around the pieces that are added in each step of the instructions. Trying to find where each piece was added to the build because a game of wheres Waldo at times especially when working with the base. Secondly, I feel like for the price of this set, a quieter motor could have been created and included in the set. When it's on its like listening to a powered pepper grinder. It's obnoxious to leave on and listen to for long periods.

Fun, Rewarding Build
on December 27, 2022
Posted by: EricB
Despite its slightly heavy price tag, the included motor and light features make this a truly spectacular piece. It was a fun build where every couple of bags you are working on something different so it's not repetitive like some other large scale builds. Having the functioning, rotating light at the very end was a nice final reward which looks great as a display piece.

Must have
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: Dadbuilder76
This set has exceeded my expectations in all ways, from the ultra clever way to build the base in 3D, to the finished LEGO set. It’s incredible to say the least & pictures don’t do it justice. If you’re in the fence about this purchase, I found it to be a wonderful build. Cheers!

Frustrated
on August 10, 2023
Posted by: Chas
I have built approximately 23 LEGO sets prior to this one and this one, unfortunately was the most disappointing for several reasons: 1) The blue base the entire unit sits on is too flimsy. Moving it to work on the unit causes parts to pop off and the lighthouse assembly is just too heavy for it. 2) The two assembly booklets, yes there are two, as those familiar with assembling LEGO kits, list the pieces step by step, but in this case, they do not outline in red (unlike other assembly booklets I have encountered), exactly fit
on the assembled piece, which cause some frustration and confusion. Theses red outlines are not always needed but are in some cases. 3) For the first time, I encountered two pages in the assembly booklets where the assembly diagrams/pictures were so blurred during the printing process, they are rendered useless, I could no discern where the pieces went or how they were assembled. I had to look at the past assembly and next assembly diagrams to make a guestimate what the blurred assembly pictures wanted me to do. 5) Finally, the second light that illuminates the fireplace from the rear is a complete waste. It can't be seen unless one removes the roof of the lighthouse keeper's cabin! The second light should have been better employed to illuminate the porch light or a window in the lighthouse itself in my estimation.
