Out of the architecture sets we have had, I'd say this one was a little more on the cheesy side. Sure if you want a "cheap" replicate of the space needle it will take care of that need. In actuality though, I don't think the small number of legos to put this together even come close to being worth the price. Sure it looked cute on his display, but I think I'd rather have one of the replicas out of the gift shops.My 8-year old son has the whole Architecture LEGO series. He really enjoys buliding all different LEGO sets and the Architecture is his latest. We have every single set of this series (he is currently working on the Robie House), but he has all of them dispayed on shevles in his room. These sets have not been all that challengng for him as we thought they'd be since they are mostly geared toward the 10/12+ crowd, but each set comes with wonderful instructions and a book explaining the history of the building and he really enjoys looking at the boxes, book and his finished products! We are waiting for the release of Big Ben in June of 2012! I think that this is a great way to get kids to learn about some history while having fun building LEGO's...and our 130 lb. Rottie has got his teeth on a few LEGO pieces that have found their way to the floor and they are still in great condition and able to be used - glad the product is durable, especially for the cost!I’m from Seattle and I love architecture so this was right up my alley. The design is very clever and artistically representative of the real thing, however the final assembly is less than 12” tall and made of very lightweight plastic (even for LEGO). For nearly $140, I was expecting metallic-based ABS parts, or at least a more significant model. I guarantee the cost of the packaging and the ABS plastic that LEGO spends to make these units is less than $5 each. Unfortunately, this product does not justify a 2800% mark-up, regardless of how creative it is.We are a Lego family. I have 4 kids, ages 6 to 13. We buy a lot of sets. We were at the Seattle Space Needle and my kids wanted to buy this at the gift shop SO bad! It was $36.99. I scanned the barcode and saw it as $19.49 on Prime. I ordered it and it came two days later to the door for a way cheaper price! My kids were elated. It was a win for both of us. Lego Architecture runs more expensive than other sets. It doesn't have many pieces and is not complicated to assemble. There are three pieces that need to be cut with scissors, but my 6 year old had no problem following the instructions. The set is recommended for 10+. My kids love to have all their Lego people visit the Space Needle!We went to the see the Needle over the summer so I thought it was a fun memento. My only complaint is that it is not very difficult for the age rating on it. A lot of my son's Lego things with the 7+ age on it take a lot longer and are a lot harder. I don't know if that's really a complaint...maybe just unexpected. This one he wants to keep put together in his room though. So it's nice to look at, instead of a big fire truck or something. :)This is a nice set and good if you like to collect the Architecture sets. I wouldn't recommend this set for people who just want some Lego, its not that kind of set and you'll be disappointed. The price is a little high for the number of pieces so am knocking off a star for that, should probably be in the $15 to $20 range max.It provides a good rendition of the Seattle Space Needle and it looks good on a shelf with a few of the other Architecture series! Glad to have it in my collection.Dislike the size of product, as compared to the price paid. It’s a RIP OFF!!!It was OK. Nice model of Space Center.
