5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collector Set!!!!, July 8, 2009

First off, yes, this is an expensive set, but it is totally worth it for the older child/adult collector! The set is rated for 16 and up and with good reason. There are no numbered bags in this kit, and with over 3,000 pieces, this makes finding the pieces a bit more challenging than the normal sets. The construction itself was not difficult (I am an adult)and the pieces in it are amazing. The jester heads and gold pieces alone make this set really fun. Add the power functions (this was my first power function set) and the music and it is unbelievable! The set is built so that when you turn on the motor and the carousel spins, the music will start by itself. The only thing I could think that might make this set better is if it had lights. My children have been turning it off and on and there have been no issues with the durability. Once built, you need to put a hard board under it before you attempt to move it as the base piece is not strong enough to support the weight while moving. Looking for something fun to do? This set is it!

My 9 yr old son and I took on this 'project' this summer. The entire project took us about a week. We started with storting then assembly. Patience is the name of the game. My son loves lego's and all he really needed 'mom' for was to help sort and look for pieces.
We homeschool and a project like this is a great science/math project. We love lego... keep up the challenges...

I really enjoyed putting this piece together, I would not recommend it for a new or inexperienced builder as it was a bit tricky. It did take me about a week to complete and once I finished it I was sad it was done. I can't wait for the dust to settle on it so I have an excuse to take it apart and rebuild it. I did use a spot of hot glue to the sails at the top to keep them attached. Otherwise it has held up just fine. I have had many adults and children oohh and awww over it.
