This is a nice little toy and I like the small bit of history with this toy. This was for my 11yo. I think the toy should have more detail and should be larger.
I did not think it was a great value. Dad

not much to this LEGO set, it stands about 9" tall constructed and doesn't contain many pieces; easy to put together, fun to sit on a desk but nothing significant

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. March 15, 2012

I bought this for my 12 year old. I was really excited to give it to her. We live in Seattle and go to the Space Needle often. I wish the kit was more pieces. It is practically put together already. It's more like a model than a Lego set. It was built in about a minute, then forgotten about. I had planned on buying more of the Architecture sets, but after this, I will stick to the traditional sets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lego Architecture Series March 16, 2011

Like other reviews this was quite easy for a 8 year old. However it's value may be in the type of Lego that it is. This is a nice break from the "star wars" theme and may kindle curiosity in architecture, a nice diversion.

I hope they continue to expand this theme. This one, not difficult or complex, does not appear to be especially durible and is somewhat small. However there is significance in educational value about noteworthy buildings.

I will purchase more in this series so that I can have dialog with grandkids about significant structures as I watch them build them.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect desk decoration or present. December 30, 2010

The lego space needle is one of my favorite sets because it is so simple and well- explained. For example, it comes with detailed instructions on how to build it along with some historical background information. It is also a great desk display piece. It is a little bit like an upgrade on Lego city. I highly recommend this for anyone ages 10+. It also makes a great Christmas present or maybe a souvenir if you've been to the space needle. It is also surprisingly difficult to break. One thing to consider, you will need scissors or something to cut the supports to size.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but price for the value is not that good. April 13, 2013

This costs around $20 but it take about 10 minutes for a 7 year old to build it. Not much of a challenge.
