It's a monster of Lego set. It weighs in at a little over 2000 pieces and stands over 14 inches tall when completed.As you can see from the picture, the size of the box dwarfs my daughter!
The recommended age is for those 16 years and older (but my 4-year old daughter was able to put quite a few pieces together - with plenty of supervision!).
Unboxing the set yielded a pleasant surprise. All of the bags are labeled "1", "2", or "3" - this
corresponds to the floor of the building. This was really nice because we did not want to build the entire set today!Today, we only built the first floor. Build time was approximately 2 and a half hours. Not bad, since we had a four year old that wanted to help. :-) Jenn did a great job organizing the pieces.
We actually had four instances where we thought we did not have enough pieces:
- 1 piece was accidentally thrown in the garbage
- 1 set of pieces were just hidden from us
- 2 sets of pieces were mistakes between dark gray blocks and black blocks in the instructions (it's hard to distinguish between these two colors in Lego's instruction sets)
Overall, this set has some remarkable features. If you want to see more, check out my photo gallery.

Happy birthday! Man, I didn't realize how many blocks there would be until I watched your videos. That's intense.
