My 9 yr old son and I took on this 'project' this summer. The entire project took us about a week. We started with storting then assembly. Patience is the name of the game. My son loves lego's and all he really needed 'mom' for was to help sort and look for pieces.
We homeschool and a project like this is a great science/math project. We love lego... keep up the challenges...

I really enjoyed putting this piece together, I would not recommend it for a new or inexperienced builder as it was a bit tricky. It did take me about a week to complete and once I finished it I was sad it was done. I can't wait for the dust to settle on it so I have an excuse to take it apart and rebuild it. I did use a spot of hot glue to the sails at the top to keep them attached. Otherwise it has held up just fine. I have had many adults and children oohh and awww over it.

This set is a great addition to even an expansive Lego collection. Movement, sound, unusual gold elements, and more! Yes, the set is challenging but with patience I believe even less-experienced builders will be successful.
TIPS FOR BUILDING:
1. Since the bags are not numbered, you need to spend a little time in the beginning sorting parts. It's not necessary to COMPLETELY sort them, but getting things separated by color alone would be helpful.
2. The carousel is built as a series of modules, where you construct the same item multiple times before assembling the section. If you have kids who can't build this set alone, they can still help by "copying" a module that you have correctly built. Many hands make quick work!
3. It is CRITICAL that the moving elements be assembled with the proper amount of ease between parts. The manual clearly reminds you not to "mash" certain pieces too tightly together. Violating this guidance will cause your moving pieces to work herky-jerky or seize up completely.
4. Test the movement as you go! Once you have the base complete and the motor attached, you should test the movement (both forward and backward) to ensure everything is moving smoothly. It's much simpler to make minor fitting adjustments at this point. Continue to test the motion after each layer is added to the base.
As far as the music goes, my son said "That's like leprechaun music!" when we turned it on for the first time. True, it is not something we could normally hear on a carousel here in the US, but it's still festive.
For price, I got this for around $200 which seems like a reasonable price. This item like many other unusual Lego sets, will eventually be in short supply and high demand, so it's worth getting it now. You never lose your investment in Lego, I have found!
Great to look at, interesting movement and sound, and a conversation-starter when you have guests over. They will be amazed at the detail!

I bought it for myself. I had a lot of fun building it. I thing the age rating is very appropriate, it will be difficult for a younger person, it takes time to finish and finding the pieces take a lot of time. It's very nice once finished.

I bought this as a gift for my carousel loving wife. It is the first LEGO kit I have ever assembled. Don't even try this unless you're willing to spend the time & have the patience. It's really fun to see it work after all the hours spent. It will definatly be going into a display case, no way is it comming apart.
