Really enjoyed the build on this radio and after a few small tweaks the radio sounds worked like a charm. I agree with others that at times the pieces feel like they are bending a bit as you build but at the end of the day it holds together. This is not a set you want to slam around or abuse much. Adding your phone into the back of the radio works well and the radio pre programmed sounds are loud and clear enough. I would recommend this for kids or adults who have a little experience building Lego as the middle of the build can get a tiny technical but nothing a seasoned builder couldn’t handle. It looks fine on my shelf and while I might not play with it as much as I first thought I am glad to have made the purchase.
I have done a lot of legos over the years. This might be the coolest one yet. An easy but fun build.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What a great surprise. I've been eyeing this set for a while but kept grabbing others. Finally decided today is the day. Couldn't be any happier with this one. Original plan was to do a couple bags then pick it back up the next day but I couldn't stop. No repetitive steps!! I love the gears and the dial that actually works. The sound brick is cool but as others have mentioned, adding a bluetooth speaker takes this radio to the next level.

Fine if you want a shelf peice, but don't touch it

The overall build is very fragile when complete. The sides have very few contact points and easily separate if you hold it while playing with the dial. Putting a phone in really causes small part to fall off. The sound brick is fun, but when you have it "on" the dial pushing it requires effort eliminating the soft feel of "tuning". I've check the instruction and my build but see no errors.
I was apprehensive about buying this set. I am of the generation when transistor radios first came out. It was a big deal. This set has been a blast. It was easy an easy build and engineered to handle my cell phone beautifully. Yes, the little sound module works OK. But the big surprise is how much fun it it to play and listen to my song list from my cell phone!. It's easy to manipulate the operation of my phone through the flexible mount in the rear of the set. It sounds so well that I am actually listening to it while I am writing this review. It's a great set and a lot of fun. Get it and enjoy it!
Great little project fun to build in one night Looks good on the shelf

Had to rebuild this a few times in certain areas. The sound never worked. Its a bit unstable in some places. The good thing is you can put your phone in the back and looks pretty terrific, like an actual radio.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
