I have to admit, I don't have any children and don't fall into the classic age group of Lego users. Nevertheless, I am a big fan of these building sets. If I ever have children, they will certainly (have to 😉) play with Lego too. I was therefore delighted to receive an email from Galaxus telling me that I had won the New York Guggenheim Museum. So I jumped on the next plane straight away and flew to New York - you want to prepare thoroughly for a project like this. 😉
Back from New York, the parcel was already at the post office ready for collection. I have to admit, I was looking forward to putting together another Lego set. The first positive surprise was the packaging, clearly not designed for 6 to 12-year-olds, but simple, classic and "grown-up". Inside were a bunch of little bags (were there always so many?) and underneath was a smart book with almost 170 pages. On the first pages are pictures and the story of the original and the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The following pages are the familiar building plan, interspersed with short anecdotes about the building. As you would expect from Lego, the building plan is flawless.
A really nice model that takes some time to build and at the same time requires little space. Clearly not intended as a children's toy, this is really something for adults who haven't quite recovered from Lego fever or perhaps want to indulge in nostalgia once again. I have to admit, the model is a great souvenir for our trip to New York, which actually took place right now. Now I just need the New York skyline and New York will be complete. @Galaxus: don't you need another test of this? 😉
