“The result is a weighty display piece that more than justifies its place in the Architecture range, making superb use of the LEGO Group’s existing part palette to realize a more distinct, fine-tuned version of the Taj Mahal than the one that’s recently retired.”
Full review at www.brickfanatics.com
The Brothers Brick
“I believe this the most beautiful LEGO set I’ve ever built. The Taj Mahal is majestic, solemn, and glorious. Looking at this set, you clearly know what it is. I actually prefer this version to the original 2008 build because of the black base, which contrasts so well with... More the white marble. The four sides are nearly identical except for the small protrusion along the base at the front, and the nameplate tile.”
Full review at www.brothers-brick.com
“In terms of resale value, LEGO Architecture sets, especially iconic landmarks like the Taj Mahal, often appreciate over time, particularly if kept in good condition or unopened. This is due to the limited production runs of these sets and the high demand among collectors.... More Furthermore, the educational aspect of these sets, coupled with the enduring popularity of the LEGO brand, contributes to their long-term value. However, as with any investment, potential returns can never be guaranteed and are subject to market fluctuations and demand.”
