This set is definitely one of the most detailed and intricate architecture sets I have seen to date. The build is repetitive due to the nature of the structure, however you build it chronologically and the final product makes it all worth it. It's not as big as some other sets of similar piece counts, but nonetheless it is the most visually stunning piece I own. Btw play rating isn't fair for a display piece.
This was so much fun to build! We love reading the history and seeing the interior elements as we put it all together. Then the outside features were stunning, too! My favorite Lego set so far. It’s the perfect size and we can’t stop staring at it. I’ve been to Notre Dame twice, so this is a nice memento. And now because of this set, my husband really wants to go see it! It’s extra meaningful after the fire, too. Lego, make more like this! We think the Biltmore would be AMAZING!
I loved this build, but I’m partial to the architecture builds. I would recommend this if you love them too. There isn’t a lot of color/variation in the build, so if you like that, you won’t like this.
I was really excited to begin the build. That being said, I was into the second bag when there was already a part missing. Luckily, I was able to borrow the same part from another bag or I would have to wait until the replacement part arrived. Their quality control can use an upgrade.
I would recommend this to a friend!
