  1. when i first saw this yesterday i said it was amazing. now im not so sure. i dont think it goes well with the other 2 buildings and the size its a bit off isnt it?
    the building itself is very very nice clean look sturdy with great details and an incredible indoors design.
    But i think it dosent have the WOW factor that GG and CC had.
    well at least the price is relatively good..
    i want to get this but i still dont have GG which i think i want more!!

  2. I agree with the wow factor. Supposed some parts of the grey can be replaced with white or darker grey. its monotonous. I don't care whether its european or american, but I'm sure it could be nicer.(at least from the pics, you don't need to see the real thing to find CC or GG lovely) Well, its still a fine set i guess.
