This review is from: LEGO Architecture 21013 Big Ben (Toy)
This is our third model from the architecture series. We had previously completed Fallingwater and the White House, so my review will mostly be a comparison of how Big Ben relates to those models.

Building: My 9 year old son and I put this together in probably about an hour, which was much less time than it took to build the other two.

Size: The model was a bit smaller than I had anticipated. I imagine this is the case for a lot of the "skyscraper" models in the architecture collection though. To put this in perspective, the base for Big Ben is probably only one-fourth that of the White House and even less than that when compared to Fallingwater.

Detail: This is where the Big Ben model really shines. The detail on the tower looks great and I'd say outshines the other two models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your NEVER to OLD for LEGOS, July 27, 2012

This review is from: LEGO Architecture 21013 Big Ben (Toy)
Purchased this for our adult son's work desk at his new job. Since his career was inspired as a child by LEGOS we thought it appropriate that he recognizes his architectural roots. This is not by any means a child's (why only 1 star for toy) lego set for it is not very detailed and quite small and expensive, but as a desk decoration and a conversational piece it works.

I gave this to a little Lego lover I know, and she was quite pleased - also, she immediately read the facts on the back. Win for education!
