beyond awful support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set is pretty fun to build when it it’s crumbling in your hand cause the contraption of makeshift baseplates to support this thing is beyond abysmal. Had this set straight fall apart in my hand multiple times while building the blocks don’t even click into each other properly

Beautifully Recreated Castle
Himeji Castle has been beautifully recreated in Lego form. Granted I've never actually been to said castle, let alone Japan at all, but if anything this build certainly inspired me to want to go! The build experience wasn't too bad besides maybe a confusing step or two.. but the end result was well worth it. I can see myself walking about the castle itself and there's a...

Historic Build!
I visited the Himeji Castle this summer. It was raining profusely but that didn’t stop how majestic the experience was for me. Building the set after seeing it in person was truly special. The small details of including the purple alter and other significant historical relics was really cool. Great set.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
I really enjoyed the building experience. I love how lego makes the builds so detailed and accurate. This set took me about 5 hours and 50 minutes and i stayed up until 3AM building it. I had a little bit of back pain throughout the build but other than that the experience was stellar. 4.8 stars!

a beautiful rendition
what i love most about this design is the landscaping around the central castle, featuring narrow walkways and greenery that elegantly frames the castle, making it feel like a 'living' scene rather than just a model of the castle itself.
as one reviewer pointed out, the orientation of the roof on the back right turret is off by 90° but this can be easily corrected by a...

Terrible build
I’ve been building this for a few days now and Every-time I build it, it starts to crumble in my hands, because of the base of the structure keeps falling apart or popping off. I try and build and it crumbles I give it a few days and it crumbles again.

Amazing
My wife and I visited Hemiji last April and since then I knew I had to get this set. It’s incredible the level of detail in this set and it’s awesome being able to retrace our steps and see some of the exact paths we walked.

Fantastic architecture addition
Gave this to my adult son for Christmas and he thoroughly enjoyed building the castle. It’s on display now in his home.

6 pieces missing
Cannot complete any of it as 6 pieces are not in the bag very disapointed and would not recommend getting as present as waiting times for replacement bricks are long

Instructions flawed
Very pretty little set although I would have liked a bit more detail. Nice quick build - under a day.
My main gripe is that the instructions do not match the parts supplied (page 182, step 261). The two 1x6 stud dark brown plates are not supplied, instead there are two 1x4 stud plus five extra/unlisted "column bases" (I first used them in the Colosseum set, hence the ...
