Brickset
“The Taj Mahal is one of the world's most spectacular structures and this model is similarly impressive, offering almost unrivaled display value due to its tremendous architectural detail. More colourful sets are often superior in this respect but the overwhelming abundance... More of white elements is very striking and looks splendid alongside a few subtle accents of yellow, tan and medium blue. The set is remarkably sturdy too, employing some Technic pieces to strengthen the model where necessary but not compromising its outward appearance.”
Full review at brickset.com
New Elementary
“The Taj Mahal defies the incredible evolution of elements introduced in the last decade by stubbornly maintaining its ability to arouse admiration by using what most of us today consider traditional LEGO pieces. While the build can be a bit monotonous and repetitive for the... More impatient builder used to the discovery of new elements and colours, it was a fun blast from the past. I wouldn’t regret for a moment building one of the most iconic sets of an aspiring era in the world of large LEGO sets.”
