A Beautiful Repllica
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: Swordfish
I've been to Himeji, and spent the day climbing the keep and prowling the castle grounds. I think this is clearly the most accurate and beautiful architectural model Lego has ever produced. The building techniques were ingenious, with a few interesting surprises along the way (that's a good thing!). However, I must register a complaint: the instruction book was missing an entire section and had another section completely out of order. Lego will replace the book, of course, but if didn't have such a high-resolution color printer with which to print the instruction download, I'd be sitting on my hands for the next couple of weeks instead of finishing of the landscaping later today.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Faulty Lego Piece
on August 7, 2023
Posted by: CertifiedGamer
Very beautiful and fun to build! However, one of the pieces in the set looked like it didn’t finish being created. It ended up not being a big deal but for how much it costs I was a little disappointed.

Very Cool, Enjoyable Set
on January 4, 2024
Posted by: DynamicWriter23
I bought this set from someone, and even though it took me several hours to build, it was a lot of fun! It was complex enough to keep me entertained, and I especially liked the little tidbits of information about the castle sprinkled throughout the Instruction Packet. And as a fan of Japan and Japanese culture, it was really neat to be able to build a landmark of such historical and cultural significance! Would DEFINITELY recommend this set for anyone who especially likes models of monuments and buildings!

Exquisite building set to keep the travel memory
on August 14, 2023
Posted by: labpiXIe
Had a very enjoyable day with this new architectural model of Himeji Castle. I was lucky enough to visit 姫路城 back in 2019. A magnificent set, kids are absolutely enthralled by it too, so it’s a perfect family activity. Though I wish Lego had included the shachihoko(鯱鉾) which are those ancient mythical creatures that decorate the roof of the castle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Be mindful of misprints in instruction booklet
on January 8, 2024
Posted by: slawisk
I enjoyed building this set, but my instruction booklet is missing nearly 20 pages of steps when I finished up bag 8. Instead of moving on to bag 9, it just repeated previous steps. Not sure if it's just my bad luck, but mindful of this if you like to collect the instruction booklets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

beyond awful support
on February 19, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set is pretty fun to build when it it’s crumbling in your hand cause the contraption of makeshift baseplates to support this thing is beyond abysmal. Had this set straight fall apart in my hand multiple times while building the blocks don’t even click into each other properly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Could be great if not missing whole bag sets
on August 21, 2023
Posted by: Alexanders
Bought this item asa show piece for me at work. Unpack and find while missing bag sets. Having to wait for Lego to send the missing parts. If I ever get to finish this set I may change my review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Nelson, LEGO® Customer Service, August 22, 2023
We're sorry you had to put your build on hold. We try very hard to make sure all our sets are complete when they leave the warehouse, but sometimes things may not go as planned. We hope you can finish your build soon and showcase the set at your work.
