So much fun when building with your kids! We finished this Lego like set faster than the haram of makkah one. I recommend this one first for beginners or if your kid is under 11.

Hard to build, I had been expecting to have a blast with this set! My buddy Mustafa told me “get this - it’s the bomb!” I was bursting with excitement to try it… but it was too hard. I was so mad I was ready to explode.

This set would probably make a great gift for someone that enjoys assemblying buildings...I think I rather stay with vehicles...Once built, it's dimensions are 10.63" x 10.63" x 7.87", so it's quite small for almost $80... Somewhat hard to keep certain pieces in place so you must improvise. I personally did not like it that much, but that does necessarily means it's not an enjoyable build.

I loved this build. I was intimidated by the amount of pieces at first, but once I got into it, it wasn't that bad.The book is HUGE and a little unwieldy. That is the extent of my critique.The book also contains information about the Dome of the Rock, which was neat because I had no idea what it was. YAY education. They also display overhead, side, and back views of some placements so you can get a clearer idea of what is being asked of you.The build itself was impressively stable and strong. The base is made of technic pieces, so it is much sturdier than plain base plates. They also build up the center of the building so the ceiling is supported VERY well. All pieces were accounted for (plus some extra). One of the things that made this build a lot easier than it initially looks is the amount of repetition. There are two different types of walls and once you get your base built, it's the same on each of the 4 walls with that pattern. The attention to detail was amazing and some of the techniques used to accomplish architectural detail are not ones I have seen before.I'm looking forward to trying some of their other architectural builds (which they showcase in the back of the book)!
