Less of a toy, more of a Lego showpiece Dec 16, 2009 By Bobak Haeri
First things first, this isn't really a "traditional" Lego set: while all the pieces are things you'd recognize from 25 years ago, the set is clearly aimed at a much older audience. The box even states its recommended for 16+. I'm 30, a big fan of architecture and I've always enjoyed Legos (but hadn't bought a set in over a decade), so when I heard this set had been created I leaped at the chance to place it in my new home. I'm not disappointed.

When constructed, the structure isn't big: the base measures 10" x 5" and its 4.5" high, but its quite complex (more complex than the sets I remember as a kid) and feels substantial when completed. There are well over 800 pieces and approximately 100 pages of instructions. The instruction book also includes a few short essays on Frank Lloyd Wright and Fallingwater. The assembly instructions are well done and putting it together took several hours but no confusion.

You can't tell by looking at it, but the structure is actually designed to come apart: the house is in several pieces that stack on top of each other and then slide into the base; this ability to do a blow-up diagram lets you examine some of the forms that were used in the structure. Of course, you can't expect this set to be a very precise reproduction of the actual landmark, but it definitely captures its essence.

The set uses only a handful of colors that seem inspired by the colors Wright would use in some of his sketches --it gives the completed piece a very mature look. Once it was done I placed it on a shelf next to various books on architecture and modern sculptures. This is a very substantial piece when fully constructed, and if it got your attention like it did mine, I think you'll be satisfied with it.

Great fun for FLW Fans Feb 10, 2010 By Sara
With over 800 pieces, this Lego set is great fun to put together. This is the first of three Lego Architecture set I've gotten this year - and it was by far the most fun to put together - plus it looks great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Lego and Frank Lloyd Wright. The Guggenheim Lego set is also fun, but it took a fraction of the time to finish. As far as missing pieces go, that wasn't a problem. Plus you can get replacement pieces from Lego through their website.

Great toy for an older child or adult Jul 15, 2010 By S. Maloney
This was a Father's Day gift for my husband. He loves architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright and Legos, so it was the perfect combination. He loved the set, and we had fun putting it together. However, I was surprised at how small the end structure is. The size is in the description, but it still is quite small when all assembled. It's hard to believe so many pieces can go into such a small building. Regardless, it's a nice set to have and we look forward to buying other sets from this collection of Legos.

School Year Reward Jul 13, 2011 By Brian D. Olsen
I got this for my son as an end of year award for making the honor roll for the whole year, and placing 2nd in his class for Advanced Reading. He loves Lego's and couldn't wait for it to arrive. Once it arrived, he disappeared into his room for about 2 1/2 hours, when he came back out he had it completed. The educational value was not simply based on building, but his curiosity let him to search the internet to learn about the actual structure and the architect that designed it.

Great set for adults Oct 18, 2010 By Caitlyn1701
I gave this set to my boyfriend right before a three day power outage occurred, so we had plenty of quality time to work on it together. Both of us having grown up with legos, we were pleased at the complexity of the kit. We also enjoyed the fact it had no "new" pieces, just the basic shapes; it gave the finished product a nice fluidity. We were also surprised with the three tier setup the kit had, a very nice feature. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a more complex kit, or anyone interested in architecture.
