LEGO10218 Creator Pet Shop

This was a gift for my daughter who is an adult an is assembling a "LEGO" village. She loved the gift. I also think it is a great model, but maybe on the expensive side.

This is the third modular building in my collection. My wife and I build them much like you might spend time doing a puzzle. It's quiet, we spend time together, and we talk. Often, we talk about all of the clever techniques and adorable furnishings and detail that go into these buildings.This is a great set in general, but especially for a combined build like that. Both buildings in this set add up to a very nice block. I really love the blue color of the pet shop's walls. There is a lot of red, orange, and brown in the modular buildings still available for purchase which isn't bad, but it's nice to see some variety here.There are some familiar tricks and techniques in this set if you've built any of the other modulars, but as always, there are clever new things showing up as well. The attention to detail is amazing, and once again there are no complaints of substance for me on this set.Well, except maybe that I can't also get a mini-modular version from Lego on this yet... but that's not going to change my mind or yours on buying this.For a family project, this would take a while, but at the same time it's a satisfying build once complete. I would love to see another set that takes a similar idea to this two-building set and expands the modular street a bit further. But for now, this is entirely worth the price.

Given as gift to my spouse who loves Lego Creator sets. She thought it was cool, and the two of us are working on building it together. There are a lot of fun details with this set. It is actually two buildings in one: a brownstone townhouse and an adjoining pet store. As with most Creator sets, it is pricey, but worth it for someone who really loves the fun of building these. Easy to assemble with clear instructions. The only drawback I see to this set is that the buildings don't hinge open to reveal the interior (unlike some other Creator sets, such as the haunted house), so after the buildings have been completed, the interior details and working parts are no longer visible or accessible.

I bought this as a gift. The person was very excited about gift, however has not had time to build. Perfect gift.

Love this kit! Each year Santa (my daughter) brings us a kit to work on together. This was last years kit so we just built this one. As with all LEGO sets this one fit together like butter. We encountered no trouble with hard to fit or broken pieces, etc. It was easy. It is really a big set and we had to be really methodical in our organization of parts and steps. The instruction booklets are easy to follow. I am usually the instruction reader and my daughter was the builder. We really work well together. If I needed to build it by myself . . . Could I? . . . Sure, Why not!!

So glad I got this...was on the fence...but Lego keeps surpassing expectations. I wouldn't wait as this set will likely be retiring soon. I purchased this on Amazon when it was still $149.95 and so glad I did. The set still is available at MSRP on Legostore.com. I was going to get the Parisian but something told me to go with this set. What a fun build with two very distinct buildings that add color to my Palace Cinema. This is my second modular and will continue to get more as they come out. The pet shop building is the shining star in this set as more detail is involved there. The brownstone is nice, but since it is really empty, due to remodeling/painting, the building is more aesthetically pleasing than having any real play value. I might look for some unique micro builds to fill the brownstone. I hope we see more modular designs in the future that offer dual buildings like this. I can place both buildings on one side of the Cinema or put one on either depending on display preference. I'm late to the Lego modular game but am hooked.

Once again Lego has designed another beautiful modular set. I'm not sure I can add any details at this point that haven't already been covered by previous reviews.The set was very fun to build. It is two separate structures that combine to make one large building. I was able to complete one side of the set at one sitting and another a day or two later. If you have kids that blow through the building phase of their Lego's then this set will certainly occupy some of their time, as will all the modulars. Although it is marketed as a 16+ set there was nothing difficult about it. Of course I am 40 years old and have been building Lego since 1978.Honestly though my daughter who is 6 helped me with quite a bit of this set and I am sure she could accomplish the build on her own if she tried.The finished product looks fantastic, especially if you combine it with the other modular sets Lego has released. Beware these Lego Modular sets are addicting and if you get one you will most likely want them all.I give the Lego Pet Shop two thumbs way up, 10/10, 5 Stars all the way.

What can I say Lego is the king and these big kits are the best. I purchased all 4 of the new larges kits for my granddaughter for her birthday and made her a new Lego table. These kits take a lot of time and focus, (warning the bags are not labeled and sorted by section) you have to figure it out on your own. A normal Lego kit comes with split up into lettered bags A,B,C so on. That the assembly books refer to when putting the kit together.These big experts kits do not. You need lots of room to spread out and sort parts, my granddaughter is 8 and she used paper plate to sort all the parts first. They take a full 10 inch by 10 inch Lego square when assembled. Once a kit goes out of production the price shoots up 2x, 3x sometimes 10 times as much. If your thinking about buying one get it now, hang on to it. If you don't use, you wont have any problem selling it later if you don't use it. I am at the point now, when a new big kit comes out I buy it for a future gift rather than wait for the price to get out of sight. You really can't beat Lego expert kits for teaching a child or young person focus.

Loved building the houses and pet.shop. Good value

Product did not have original new sealing but everything inside box was good.

This was another great addition to our LEGO library, and plugs in nicely to the town scene that we're building.From a cost perspective, it is definitely in line with other models in the series (around 10 cents a piece) and the build was fun. There wasn't a lot of repetitive build steps (compared to say, the Palace Cinema). We have really enjoyed some of the advanced SNOT techniques in this series, and there are some good things to learn from this set. We really like the reuse of parts in new ways. The mini-figs are fun and the rooms/scenes you can create also make this a fairly playable set.With this many pieces in these sets, it's nice that they come in sections: bagged sets of pieces that are tied to specific steps or sections of the build. There are a couple of instruction books, and these things combined makes it easy to break up the set and have the whole family working on it.

Da un po di tempo conpro solo piu giocattoli della lego.. perche sono indistruttibili!!Negli anni vedendo svariati giocatti di da 10 20 e per fino 40 Euro essere distrutti in poche ore o giorni dai miei figli, non sapevo più cosa fare!!!Con la Lego non si sbaglia!! Si sono costosi ma tra 30anni i miei nipoti ci giocheranno ancora.In particolare questa scatola e' stupenda, adatta sia ad un masclio che una femmina.Il negozio di animali della lego e' parte di una struttura dove si trovano 2 case separate.Ottimoi!

De todos los productos adquiridos, quizás más de veinte, he montado unos pocos, no voy a decir cuales.Hoy he recibido los dos pedidos últimos. Los puntos de vías y el 8043.Los que considero mejores los voy dejando para mas adelante y primero hago los sencillos con mis propias modificaciones, como ocurre en los paks de 3 en 1.........Si es así, que de un mismo producto he adquirido dos cajas para no desmontar mi propio montaje.Por tanto y como pueden observar....no puedo dar una valoración a todos los productos sin haberlos armado y ver la calidad hecha con la inteligencia de los LEGO, para mi los mejores. De pequeño montaba Meccano. Pero ahora LEGO se ha puesto a la delantera de sus productosEn mi opinión LEGO debe de hacer versátiles sus productos, que tomen vida...El Remote Control es de lo mejor...los estáticos, como el buen mercedes unimox 400, le falta el movimiento o sea ...CONTROL REMOTO. He montado la auto-caravana Volswagen, + de 1300 piezas.....¿ qué ocurre ??.....pues que las ruedas ni tan-siquiera giran. Lo has de empujar con la mano y si los detalles interiores, no están mal, pero tampoco están bien...Es como un quiero y no puedo o viceversa.El mismo juguete a control Remoto y con un interior algo mas real y también un modelo el doble de tamaño, sería algo muy distinto de como es ahora, que una vez montado........solo puede estar en un estante cogiendo polvo.....LEGO es una maravilla y he visto por internet, modelos en youTube inaccesibles aquí en España.....LEGO, tiene que innovar su enorme flota de construcciones que parezca que están vivas...que se mueven sin tocarlas, como se tiene que hacer actualmente.Tengo tres conjuntos de trenes, uno, el primero del año 1992 cuyas vías llevaban corriente, las otras dos, adquiridas ahora, son remote control.....pero todo y así el conjunto de las vías de serie es dar vueltas casi en redondo....que pasa??? que resulta aburrido......estaciones, túneles, el tren que va y el tren que viene......niveles de recorrido...por ejemplo lo de los ferrocarriles de Barcelana o Madris ( el Metro), que los primeros construidos iban a un par de metro del suelo. Al ir haciendo varias líneas y tener que cruzarse, han tenido que bajar en profundidad tal es caso del AVE que cruza Barcelona a unos 35 metros de prundidad.....Total...algo parecido con LEGO y sobre todo LEGO CITY, escaleras mecánicas que funciones, no que sean de adorno, como el gram emporium adquirido o el Ayuntamiento con un simulacro de ascensor a mano que sale una palanca en la esquina del edificio.....Quisiera saber expresarme mejor.....ustedes ya sabenY, bueno que muchas gracias por quien y a quien me haya leído. Disculpas por alguna falta de ortografía, estoy cansado, es tarde y escribo demasiado deprisa, pero mas lento de lo que hay en mi mente por explicarTodo y así...LEGO es de lo mejor, pero debe de mejorar y al menos....que todo, TODO, sea a REMOTE CONTROL.....hasta las palanquitas que hay que accionar a mano en estás tan bien hechas grúas.Bien a las cosas buenas y honradas de la vida.
