This is my 2nd purchase as an AFOL, having picked it up from Amazon on sale at about £30. Great value per piece, as my police station (7744) cost me £50, and has less pieces.

I built the default town house, and the secondary 2 smaller houses, and loved both. The external detailing is superb, with drainage pipes and gutters for the roof. The recessed windows are also a great touch, and make for a more interesting build.

This set also feels like it has great flexibility building other creations, especially a modular house to slot in with a Green Grocer/Cafe Corner/Market Street set. (Though I haven't bought any of these sets yet)

Negatives would be the lack of internals, and a lack of mini-figs, but in my opinion doesn't detract from the overall score - 5/5!

This is a very detailed set. It has a car and a garage to put the car in!
Pros:
Big
Can take out roof to put in furniture
Hours of fun!

Cons:
No interior!
No stickers!

I think there is no interior because either for easier work or you have to.

i bought the set and never built the model town house as provided in the instruction booklet. instead, i built a 16 by 16 base town house of the cafe corner standard so it can be connected together with my market street, green grocer and cafe corner. in the end, i was left with just 2 spare dark grey 32 by 16 base plates. lol! this set is that flexible! i would encourage all collectors of this set to try building a different town house.

if you follow the instruction to build the town house, it still looks great but it is empty inside. do not let the double-story building fool you - there is no 1st floor or any stairway leading up to it. however, you can still lift the roof off to see the emptiness inside. i wonder what for? i think this is the only drawback of a nice house of a unique architecture. other than that, i am just disappointed that the base plates are not green, but a concrete dark grey color.

go get it! :D

this set is very cool, i love the attention to detail. the garage door opens, the flowers and shrubs, the chimney, the garbage can, the fences, the windows, and much more. i love all three models that can be built, and i think the school is the coolest, and when you are done
building the alternates, you have tons of pieces left so you can add. it also gives you a lot of bricks so you can build your own models which can be very cool. i love this set!

where can I start How about awesome!I mean can it get any better I ordered this set since it is so hard to get.I made the giant house,and thought it was missing something.The inside was empty!So I made a second story,and added 2 beds on the second story,and even added a bathroom to the first story. I mean what's better than that!TOILETS!All in all this is a great set with high playability and a great city builder.I give it a 10 out of 5!Great job Lego!
