Starting in bag 15, missing small pieces in that and subsequent bags. No, they are not on my floor nor in the plastic bags. Very frustrating.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We can understand your frustration that parts are missing from your set. If you haven't already, give us a call or chat so we can get what you need sent to you! You can find our contact info at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
I agree with a lot of the comments about stability or lack there of. It was a good idea but the structure is not sturdy like most of the builds I’ve done before. It has great detail on the castle but not the landscape and courtyard.
I LOVE the architecture series. But this was an absolute abomination. So many of the studs and bricks were left hanging intentionally, with a completely hollow inner shell. The instructions had 3 "major" errors, and it took several attempts to rectify the missing/erroneous parts. Compared to Notre Dame, this was a TERRIBLE purchase. Do better lego.
The build was annoying because of the lack of stability. The set is basically hollowed. A let down from last year’s Notre Dame.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was a fun build and looks great on my bookshelf. We went to this castle a few years ago and it’s fun to look at home. Great build.

My wife and I bought this as a compromise, she loves jigsaw puzzles & I don’t, but we wanted a shared quiet, focusing activity. Our son was a huge Lego Star Wars fan, and at 27 still has his Lego Death Star. This was a challenge to build, some of the instructional drawings didn’t give the best perspective of the pieces or how the fit together, especially when building both sides of a section that were not identical. Also telling the colors of some of the parts was somewhat difficult when you have a bag with several different shades of the same color family. I also agree with other reviewers about the large tower’s stability, any movement of the model and you can see it wobble. I will probably take it apart and add some “sticky-tack” poster adhesive to a few of the joints where the shafts connect, and where it connects to the base, in order to stop the wobbles. All in all though, we really did enjoy the project, and will display it in our home. We have already purchased Himeji Castle for our next one. I wish that the US Capitol & White House models were still available, as we would like to build those too.
