Apostrophe Games Big Ben Building Block Set (1,664 Pieces) London's Big Ben Clock Tower Famous Landmark Series - Architecture Model for Kids and Adults

I really love the overall design of this product. The design is definitely very good. Also this is a lego compatible product. So considering it has 1666 pieces. It is really a good investment!I would like also to mention how wonderful the seller is. I lost one piece for the product, so I left a note here. The seller is very kind and mailed me the missing piece combined with a typed letter. So kind!You will never regret of buying it if you enjoy building architecture building sets!!!

My 7/y Son is crazy about Big Ben (and puzzles) and this was purchased as a Christmas present! It provided a great activity for the both of us to work on for a couple days and afterwards, a nice decorative piece for our living room!

This was a gift for my grandson who just turned 7. His mom had to help a lot but he loved it. He is very interested in London & this was just perfect. This item is much less complicated than Lego set & much less expensive.

My 7 year old has a bit of an obsession with clocks – specifically Big Ben. When I say “obsession” I guess I should clarify that he is autistic and clocks are one of his passions in life. He can tell you everything you never wanted to know about Big Ben, like how that’s the name of the bell, not the clock or tower, how many steps to the top, how much the clapper weighs etc. ANYHOO, he really wanted the LEGO Big Ben for his recent birthday, but not only is it over $400 but it includes the entire structure attached to the tower and he is only really interested in the clock/bell tower itself. This was the perfect alternative! The price is right, the size is right, it looks really cool completed and he loves it! A few things to know before you buy. First, it looks and feels and is designed to be like LEGO bricks in every way, but the quality just isn’t as high. I’ve included a few pictures of bricks that were deformed or warped or had additional plastic cling ons. You don’t find that kind of thing with authentic LEGO bricks. That being said, they include plenty of extra pieces so the few that were deformed beyond use (maybe 3-4 out of 1600) weren’t a big deal. I can confirm that they are compatible with authentic LEGO bricks. That being said, in my experience, these were a little trickier to fit together than LEGO bricks are and took a little more force to click into place (and a little more finger pain). Also, if you’re used to building LEGOs, it’s worth noting that unlike LEGO instructions that are based on numbered bags, these bags have no number orders and don’t correlate to the instructions. My best advice if you buy this is to plan on opening all the bags and sorting the pieces into different bowls. The process is SO repetitive that you will thank yourself for taking the time to do this first, I PROMISE. Plus most of the pieces are the same color so it will really save your eyes in the long run to do this. The instructions were actually quite easy to follow which I wasn’t expecting with a Chinese LEGO knock off product! Some things about how it goes together are poorly designed such as the method of keeping the chain around the bottom in place. It is very hard to get to stay put and pops out if slightly bumped. In fact, if you look closely in the product photos, you can see that even in those, the chain is popped off on one of the corners! We have experienced this as well. I will likely super glue it in place so it doesn’t continue to cause frustration. Oh, and I wish the description had said how tall it was completed, but it doesn’t. For your info, the finished tower is 25” tall and the base is 7” x 7”. My son has added it to his current LEGO train layout and thinks it’s awesome! It took me (he only helped a little) about 4-5 hours to complete. There are sooooooo many tiny one stud flat pieces that you might wonder if you’ll ever get through them all haha. In summary, I can definitely recommend for the price if you’re looking for a less expensive set that looks and feels like LEGO without the hefty price tag. And yes I paid full price for it myself!**Has this review been helpful to you? I certainly hope so! Feel free to ask me questions in the comments!**

This lego is really good! My soon loves it! The only thing that dissapoints me is that they didnt number the lego bags but overall its good! There isnt any missing pieces its that you have to look closely.

My son loves Legos and Ancient Rome, so I wanted to get him the Lego Colosseum. But no way in heck was I going to pay $700. This was a great alternative. The pieces were definitely harder to snap together than Lego pieces, but working as a family, we were still able to assemble it in 2 days and my son loved it. So for the price, I have no complaints!

Ok, the product will probably fine, haven't had a chance to help with the assembly as it's a Christmas present.But the delivery was fulfilled by Amazon and who ever decided to simply slap an address sticker on the original product box must have a special kind of humor so close to Christmas. I totally understand the cut back on boxes and I'm all for it, but at least have it in one of the plastic delivery bags even if they are everything but eco friendly. Totally spoiled that gift as everybody could probably guess that the Amazon driver wasn't dressed up as Santa.

Beautiful product. My son really liked it.
