 A Complete Lego Set |
| Review Date: December 14, 2008 |
| Reviewer: M. Heiner, Nashville, TN |
I splurged on this Lego set and couldn't make myself wait for Christmas to put it together. In all, it took about four or five hours to put together - the set is over 1,600 pieces. There are three stories to the building. The first story is the grocery store, complete with cash register, vegetables and fruits (nice effects), and a refrigerated section. The second story is an apartment with a fireplace and stairs. The third story is a combination apartment/terrace. There is a grandfather clock and old-style heater by the window. The terrace has a grill and furniture.
Other nice effects in the set include a covey underneath the stairs for a mouse to hide in, and a set of mailboxes. Also, the first floor is covered in smooth tiles, giving it a nice texture and look. The mini-figures included in the set are pretty standard.
I prefer this type of set to the Creator sets, because it is built to scale for mini-figure interaction. The building itself is beautiful - my children saw it on the table in the morning and stopped to admire it (before asking to play with it). I would recommend this set to any adult aficionado of Lego's. I had a blast putting it together and displaying it. |
It was a hit!

| The Lego Green Grocer was a hit with my 12 year old son. The box said for ages 16+, but he had no trouble assembling it on his own. He enjoys constructing the buildings and this one was a hit. He took 3 days to put it together, following the guide books, one level for each day. There is a step-by-step guide book for each level and it was nice that the 2,000+ pieces were divided by levels. He (and I) were fascinated by all the details that were included in the set--very creative. He would love the other sets that could be set up alongside the Grocer. |
Great Set!

| This set was a blast to put together. I am an AFOL and my 6 and 4 year olds even helped me do certain parts of the building. Each level was broken in to different numbers with direction books for each. Very detailed as well. |
Creative use of standard pieces

| Great set and very fun to build. The "removable" floors are a key element to letting the kids really play with the set. One additional feature that I appreciate is the fact that many decorative elements are created by combining standard pieces in an unusual way---the railing on the roof deck, for example, is made out of "skeleton legs" and "hatchets." The kids really got a kick out of this one. A challenging build with a lot of parts though, take your time! |
Probably the best Lego set out there right now!

I have built the Cafe Corner set and thought that was the "cat's meow" until I built this one. This set by far more complex and detailed! But it does add nicely to the Cafe Corner (these sets were meant to connect together).
This is easily one of the main sets that any serious Lego collector should own. I personally do not recommend it to anyone younger than 12 or so - this set has many tiny pieces and takes a while to assemble. For me, it took about 5 hours or so in total but I built it one floor at a time over three days (the middle floor is quicker than the top or bottom as it has the least amount of pieces). With that said, patience is needed!
This set is nicely adorned with the grocer (first floor) pretty much fully stock/furnished. The second and third floor have a few basic starter items (grandfather clock, fire place, radiator) and plenty of room for your own ideas if you wish to finish furnishing it.
I hope Lego will add more of these models is a large scale release (you can purchase user made models off of the Lego website, but they are expensive!). |
