Endless fun
Forget the dumbed-down, juniorised, over-specialised or film/TV tie-ins of today. This is an example of what real Lego sets were like. This set consists of two buildings - a hotel under construction and an auto-repair centre. There is a crane working on the hotel, and the street is well-detailed with such features as an ice-cream stand, chairs, trees and a lamp post. The weath of pieces mean that there's no limit to alternative building.

The best set ever made in LEGO history!!
This is the one...The only...MAIN STREET! THe set itself is just plain awesome. I'm so glad Lego released this as a lego legend. The old one looks a little boring. It deserves to be one! The minifigures and buildings in this set make it a true calssic!

WOW!
great set! it would of been better if there was a mechanic and a hotel clerk. but it still deserves a 10 and you have to destroy the crane if you want to finish the hotel and add the stuff inside it like the bed and chair. also it would be better if there was a police car for the cop and pop corn for the pop corn stand

The set is great!
They give you pics on how to make the sign, they figured it was common sense and didn't put diections to it.
The set is great even through it doean't use the new road plates. The two biuldings are emty, but it doesn't take too many bricks to make they real nice. The crane is amazing, I'm going to make a truck or something for it so it can be portable. The people are great old fashion kind, they look like the village people. :) No big pieces just the small great ones that everyone loves.1 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
WOW!
Ahhhh, what a relief. I just finished building this main street. I never had in in my youth, because it was not available over here, but this is a true classic.
When I was a kid I used to own several town sets. The 588(381 Euro) police station, and several other sets. Well, building this brings back childhood memories! This is just like the way it used to be in the late seventies early eighties! I love it! Great to build the car and truck! All the small pieces rule! This is awesome! I would highly recommend this set to everyone! You will learn what true Lego building is with this set!2 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
