This is the largest LEGO City set to date, and it is excellent! It contains so many regular city stuff and a very nice looking tram. The playability is very high and can be easily added to other City theme if you are building a LEGO city. LEGO should make more sets like this: just regular city stuff. LEGO has made way too much police and fire sets, and sets like this are very helpful for those of us who would like to build a LEGO city. Well done LEGO!

Recommendation: yes 92 / 100 by John

There's so many great sections to this model – namely the LEGO Shop and the tram, but there's so much included, it's different for everyone. As far as trams go, there's only been one other tram back in 2010 – 8404: Public Transport Station. There's only been four other LEGO Shops as well, so again, this one is worth spending your hard earned cash on.

For me it's the best CITY set ever, because of the variety and interest of the models. There are a lot of interesting parts, accessories, minifigs and colours. Of course the price is in accordance of that size and variety of models. It's an expensive set but the price is justified with its content.
