“One of the first things you will notice about the LEGO Detective’s Office is its unusual layout. Most previous LEGO Modular Buildings are basically a big box on a 32×32 baseplate with a walkway at the front, and an alleyway at the back. As LEGO Modular sets are designed for... More older LEGO fans they don’t usually have a back-story and play-features like the sets aimed towards kids. This is another area where the LEGO Detective’s Office breaks away from the norm. It in fact has an elaborate back-story.”

“Whilst it's been named Detective's Office, this set is far more than that: there's also a barber's shop, pool hall, kitchen, bathroom, terrace and an interconnecting section with balconies and alleyway. What's more, designer Jamie Berard has concocted an involved storyline... More to accompany this set which he explains in his designer video.”

“It's a really well designed and interesting building that features some excellent construction techniques, a great selection of parts used in unusual ways and wonderful details inside.With 2262-parts, it's certainly not lacking in quantity of pieces so I guess its smaller... More physical size must be due to more being used to provide a higher level of detail than seen in older modulars, particularly the interior.”
