First off, yes, this is an expensive set, but it is totally worth it for the older child/adult collector! The set is rated for 16 and up and with good reason. There are no numbered bags in this kit, and with over 3,000 pieces, this makes finding the pieces a bit more challenging than the normal sets. The construction itself was not difficult (I am an adult)and the pieces in it are amazing. The jester heads and gold pieces alone make this set really fun. Add the power functions (this was my first power function set) and the music and it is unbelievable! The set is built so that when you turn on the motor and the carousel spins, the music will start by itself. The only thing I could think that might make this set better is if it had lights. My children have been turning it off and on and there have been no issues with the durability. Once built, you need to put a hard board under it before you attempt to move it as the base piece is not strong enough to support the weight while moving. Looking for something fun to do? This set is it!

This LEGO set is simply wonderful! Get it before you have to pay a collectibles price for it. However, you may want to tell Amazon to pack it well before shipping, as Amazon recently does a bad job packing heavy non-book items.
