“A unique set only available for sale in Japan and the first set made via LEGO and its partner Cuusoo. Overall, it is an easy set to build, i like the modular building process which also makes it easy to keep.As with all Architecture sets, it is more for a display piece... More rather than for heavy play.”

“As this set was only released in Japan, the price reflects this - expect to pay about £50 for a MISB set. This price and the lack of playability means that it is aimed more towards collectors and those that like the architecture series. As it was the first of the Cuusoo... More sets, I feel that as it was the first set, over time it will gain in value depending on how successful and widespread the Cuusoo programme becomes.”
