The Taj Mahal is one of the world's most spectacular structures and this model is similarly impressive, offering almost unrivaled display value due to its tremendous architectural detail. More colourful sets are often superior in this respect but the overwhelming abundance of white elements is very striking and looks splendid alongside a few subtle accents of yellow, tan and medium blue. The set is remarkably sturdy too, employing some Technic pieces to strengthen the model where necessary but not compromising its outward appearance.

The Brothers Brick

by Elspeth De Montes

This set makes an excellent build for more mature LEGO fans, who perhaps enjoy relaxing and taking time with the process rather than building to finish as soon as possible. You'll end up with a beautiful building and a bit of LEGO nostalgia.
