adorable, my granddaughter loved this. (Christmas present) She loves her Leggos

We LOVE Lego in our house and this set is a great example of why. So many positives so Ill just get right into it. * 3 Builds. There are 3 official builds (as this is part of the 3-in-1 Creator series) with the main build being the corner apartment/shop build. The other two are a taller/wider 3 story apartment building and a row/strip mall style of shops with a trolley. * Main build. The corner shop is comprised of a 2 story and a 3-story building joined at a corner by a small outdoor park with a hot dog cart. The first floor are shops while the upper floors are apartments with patios and terraces. Its really quite fun. There are also a number of animals (what would you expect with a Pet Shop right?) that are not molded minifigures but built out of blocks. These include a dog, a toucan, a bird, and a mouse. Ok, there is a molded fish included for the aquarium. * Colors are wonderful and typical Creator series bright and fun. I love the pale yellows in the second level apartment and the red of shades on the other building. * Modular. The main build is can connect to the other Creator series buildings to create elaborate street scenes. * Difficulty. All very straightforward with little balancing or tricky areas. Possibly simple and could be seen as a negative I suppose but I enjoyed the build. Minifigs. The detail of the minifigs these days is just wonderful with lots of detail in the short graphics and accessories. That said, the minifigs here are all rather standard, there is a little girl, an old man and a middle aged man. No real accessories outside of the hair and a baseball cap. * Real buildings? No there isnt backing to the buildings here but they still feel like real buildings as opposed to the very shallow facades that Lego is putting out these days in many of their buildings. * If I had any niggles, it would have been a detail or two more in the upper apartments, but it is a very small issue with an overwhelmingly fun set. Summary. I love this set. The colors, the design details, the interconnectivity, and the rebuild-ability. Is it perfect? No, but the issues I have are very minor and I can easily and heartily recommend this set to anyone who likes the Creator buildings series.

Loved it!!!

Great Lego set!

I have bought many lego sets in the past and they were always complete sets. My son gave a great piano recital performance so I got him this lego set as a reward. But there are so many missing pieces it has been very frustrating, more of a negative than a positive. Update: As it turns out there are two bags labeled 1 and all the pieces we thought were missing from bag 1, were in the other bag 1. So now my son is happier. Be on the lookout for multiple bag 1s.

My 12 year old son loved it

Awesome creative set. It’s great to assemble the way the instructions are, but you can do it your way.

Great ppp. I bought several to make a MOD. Great starting point.

Got this for my sons birthday and he lives it!! As soon as he finished it he put it on display to show off to everyone!!
