Compared to the other buildings in this set, this one is very boring. A hat maker and a clock maker? Snooze! It feels like lego has run out of ideas for this set. Out of all the buildings in this set, this is my least favorite. It’s boring in design and in the build. Sitting there putting together ten clocks got really old, really fast. I hope next year’s building is better than this one. If not, I’m not wasting anymore of my money on this set. What a disappointment.
I have bought most modular buildings and the building techniques of this build were lacking. Past modulars you build as a cohesive set. Every piece interlocking with others. Too many steps in this build was outside of this. Building a whole wall section and then adding it to the overall build. Building windows then adding it. These type of build elements cause the sets to feel piece mealed and not a whole unit. The top floor seemed to have a lot of unnecessary steps just to add piece count to the build. Was excited about this set and now I can't finish it.
