I'm an AFOL. My girlfriend and I have all of the Architecture sets to date. I have purchased and loved the last 5 Modular Houses. You might want to keep these things in mind when reading this review.Like everyone else, I also felt that the set was really expensive. I've never spent $200 for a lego set. The most I've spent was the $150 for the Modular Houses, and even that made me cringe a bit. They're so darned fun and detailed that I just can't help myself. From a price to piece standpoint, the set is still less than 10 cents per piece. That's still on par with 90% of the lego sets out there (certainly with the larger, licensed sets). My girlfriend and I were fortunate enough to go to the unveiling of this set at the actual Robie House in Chicago. We didn't initially have plans to buy the set, but after seeing the actual house and comparing it to the set, we couldn't resist. There are soooo many little...

These, including the Robie House, Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water", and the new Brandenburg Gate, are not going to be hot sellers like, say Star Wars or Harry Potter. Lego has to amortize its engineering and development costs over a smaller number of sales than it can get for its sure things for the kids. So, it really needs to get its price from us.The Robie House is beautiful. The Dark Red pieces are a great color, far removed from the toy-like primary colors of a standard lego set. When you get done, you have a model that is nearly a work of art. It looks great in the living room or, for that matter, on the corner of your desk at work. It is not as large or complex as the gorgeous Tower Bridge, but you also do not need 3 1/2 feet of your coffee table to display it. Also, I do not think you really could buy the pieces...

It was by far the most arduous to complete, but its appearance is the most pleasing as well. If you love the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, if you love architecture in general, and if you love buildings inspired by Japanese design, this piece will be for you. Putting it together requires a big enough surface area and enough time to devote to putting it together. For me, between breaks for eating and checking out the Patriots win, it took about nine hours.Maybe I am slower than average, but I try to take my time and ensure I make no mistakes because a mistake on something like this can wreck havoc. Right now, though, now that I done, I feel inspired by its beauty. This was a Christmas gift for me and it's one of the best I have ever received. Seriously, despite the cost, get it - it will probably last you a lifetime and give whatever corner you put it into a little piece of perfect beauty. |
