Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
An owner praises the detailed buildings and the apple-shaped backdrop, and likes small touches such as roller skates used as taxis and binoculars used as museum columns.
A parent says their 11-year-old, who enjoys complex 18+ sets, loved this one, though it only took him about three and a half hours.
This owner enjoyed the build and the colors, but reports about 6 missing pieces, which they replaced from their own spares.
