5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Architecture Buffs, But Is Not Your Typical Lego Toy, September 7, 2009

I don't disagree with the previous reviewer that states you may be able to build this model with bricks you already own, but depending on the size of your brick collection that's true for practically any Lego set. To that end, Lego actually allows you to download directions for this and many other sets from their website at [...]

That, however, is not the point. This set and the rest of those in the Lego Architecture Series are less about being a typical Lego toy set and more about enjoying one specific artist's interpretation (Adam Reed Tucker) of major architectural landmarks of this and the last century. His own site, [...], does a nice job of explaining how these sets came to be.

With all of that as backdrop, I really enjoyed receiving this set (and several others in the series) as a gift. My five year old and I put them together as a team. She could do practically all of the real assembly, but we enjoyed talking about the real buildings and my exeriences... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really worth it..., August 13, 2009
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Overall this piece isn't worth the price you'll pay. First, the tower is not big at all. As a result, there isn't much detail on it. Because it has so few pieces, chances are that if you have a bunch of legos yourself at home you could make this exacty thing already without having to buy this set. The cool thing though, like the other sets in the architecture series, is that it comes with an above average instruction sheet with nice colors and a detailed blueprint. Overall though it's not worth the price here or on the lego website itself. It can pretty easily be made from left over legos in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Set!, May 18, 2010
A Kid's Review
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Architecture Willis Tower (21000) (Toy)
This is a pretty cool set. It has 69 pieces. It took me about 2 minutes to build. I have it on the desk I have in my room. The cool part about the instructions is that it has a note from the person who created this model, and all of the facts about the building! I am going to buy more of the buildings/landscapes in this series soon, and probably some for my birthday. The set stands about 8 or 9 inches tall, and it has a baseplate with "Sears Tower" written of a flat black piece. This is a pretty cool set, and I honestly like it better than some bigger (not architecture) sets that I have. Overall, this set is extremely sturdy, my dog knocked it off the table and only one of the white pieces came off, so overall rating is 10/10. Oh, and I rated 5 for educational because it tells you all about the skyscraper.
