I had to get this for the great memories I had while in Rome. It is truly lovely. Only thing missing is the coin to throw into the fountain. Easy to put together. Enjoyed building it.
I've thoroughly enjoyed these Architectural focused builds. The recently added Notre-Dame was one of my favorite builds of the past few years. I also enjoyed the Pyramid of Giza (even if it was only half the pyramid ; )
As for the Trevi Fountain, I had a great experience going through the build. Lot's of unique pieces and at no time did it feel monotonous or repetitive. I especially liked the figures depicting the marble statues. (Here's hoping a future Greek temple build is in the works.)
All in all a solid addition and a fulfilling build for anyone that appreciates this line.
On a different note: I'll never understand why people give builds a 1 star for missing pieces. Its bound to happen and Lego is good about replacing them. Tell us how the end result was. *shrug*
This set is so lovely. We're huge fans of the architecture line, and this one does not disappoint. My kid loves the build with all the small pieces needing to be just so, and I love having it sit on the bookcase in my office, reminding me of a wonderful trip to Rome.
I absolutely loved this build. Not only is the finished product absolutely stunning, the building experience was extremely enjoyable. It looks like it would have been an intense build, but it really wasn't that difficult.
Its very strong structurally and has some fun building techniques.
