LEGO Sydney Opera House Reviews
| 12 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Looks nice from far, but little overpriced, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LEGO Sydney Opera House (Toy) Bought this for myself as I'm a big fan of Sydney Opera House. To be honest, this is my first LEGO Architecture set and I'm a little bit disappointed. The set itself is very small and the build is straightforward. I actually finished it within a day, without any issues.If you plan to put this as a display set, it does look nice from far. But upon closer inspection, you can see that the pieces are quite 'rough' and there are certain angles which the set will look nice, and certain angles which it looks quite ugly. The booklet (manual) that comes with it does provide a fair amount of background on the Sydney Opera House. But the quality of the manual is poor, as the pages started to come off after a while. Overall, if you wish to display it (remember it only looks good at certain angles), don't mind its small size and slightly hefty price, I do suggest you to consider this. Otherwise, I suggest you to consider other LEGO sets.  Puny Lego set, By = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Sydney Opera House (Toy) Puny little Lego set!!!! The quality of design is mediocre and the size of it is embarrassingly small. The widest part on base is about 6" by 4". I gave it to my friend' s 10 year old boy, and he thought it was less than $20. And the actual price was twice as much. I understand Lego's or another toys' value are not measured by size. But I can guarantee you, you will be disappointed once you see the finishing product. I felt so ripped off. 1 of 10 people found the following review helpful LEGO Sydney Opera House, By Mona Piller (Hayden, ID United States) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Sydney Opera House (Toy) It is more than a toy, I rated it low for a toy as it more of an architectural interest. |
