I bought this as a gift to my significant other. He's a Lego fan, and loves the architecture sets. He said that the directions were easy to follow, and the set looked wonderful when finished. Definitely would recommend this for the Lego enthusiasts out there. High quality and well done.

I do think this is a case of a huge opportunity missed. Because of the simple design concept of the shells they "jut" out rather than "flow" out in the case of the real one. I really think that they should have made it a bigger model, probably of around the size of Robie House. That would have made it more practical for this model to do more than merely resemble the Opera House, it would than have captured what I think is the essence of Jørn Utzon's design.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
