This is one of the most amazing sets in my opinion. It's absolutely awesome, in terms of design, looks, play functions, et cetera.

Building Experience

There is SO much building experience in this set. Lego has used a lot of awesome features and techniques that i haven't seen before, it's mindblowing. How you can put the plates against eachother or stack them without even having studs on the underside. It was an amazing experience to build this set up.

Parts

A great parts pack! EVERY part in this set comes printed. The printing on the parts is pristine, the brick colours perfectly manage to display the white detailing from the printing. I can't imagine how hard it was to create a mold for most of these parts. Come on, big plates with studs removed in the middle AND printing!? Whow!

Playability

Do you know the term "swooshing"? It is frequently used by Lego builders when they build spaceships. Well, this set can be anything, including the most thin spaceship ever built by space people ever! It's just so amazing to grab this model on it's side and then swoosh it. The fact that as a spaceship it can be so record-breaking thin... let me ask you a question, what would you feel like if you had the thinnest spaceship on the world? You'd probably feel good! And besides a spaceship, there's a lot of other features for this set. But i won't explain their awesomeness, you should find out yourself!

Value for Money

As said before, EVERY piece in this set is printed, but not only that, every piece in this set is unique to it. You won't find them in any other set (if i'm correct). That is why the price is so amazing. A collection of unique printed pieces for just 10 bucks? Really Lego? Something so good for such a low price!?

Overall Rating

Just... whow. The set design is mindblowing, the parts are rare, there's a ton of playability and the price of this set is the best deal you can ever get on a Lego set. If you see this set, you should instantly get it. No matter what. I'd pick this over every other set, even a Cloud City, Grand Emporium, or heck, even an Airport Shuttle!

my brother owns these and I think that they are great. i think that the sewer drains make it look mor real they are very realistic. we always wanted these and then my parents got them for my brother. That year was good for me, as i got a puppy for my birthday :).

I have always liked roadplates because they can be used for anything. These ones, are just good as they are. Silver wraps these plates around and the crossroads are great too. These are perfect for anything and are a must own.

I like this new roads. They're very useful, and they're wider than old roads. Another point is that before this roads there were another roads with "grass" and they look good together. But those roads look beter in the countryside, and this roads are more suitable for city.

These are some of the most realistic roadplates LEGO Came up with. As for combination with the green borders, I don't have a problem since I assemble pretty broad sidewalks. Only flaw is that online, they are 12.99.
