3Could have been better
By Juliann Macdonald
My 9 year old son loves this series and had a great time with the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower. This item was disappointing (more for me than him) because it was so unlike the building. The historical description of the building included in the set talks about it's beautiful taper etc, and the entire kit is rectangles and squares with no angles at all! It could've been a beautiful model and instead looks like a poor-mans Sears Tower. It is nothing like the Hancock, which is too bad, since it is such an incredible building. With such few offerings in the set, there should have been more care in the design of this one.

If you're going to buy just one of these, go for the Sears Tower or Empire State.

2Overall not worth it...
By Dunston
This review will be very similar to my one for the Sears Tower, but much of it applies to this set as well. Like the other smaller Architecture sets, this set is simply overpriced, in my opinion. For the price you pay, you're not getting too many pieces. In addition, most of the pieces you get the average Lego builder/collector will likely have laying around at home. It's very easy then to simply build this from your own collection. The instruction booklet is nice though, with color photos and a bit of history about the building. Overall though it's not worth the price due to the small scale and the ability to build it from your own collection.

5Great!
By Reader Mom
My 9 year old son loves this kit! He is a huge lego fan and wants to collect all the architecture series. He's gained an appreciation for the buildings and cities where they are. A great learning tool.
