Fallingwater Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Fallingwater has been a particularly good investment for Architecture collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 11.4% per year. However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most. When compared to the vast majority of set in the Architecture theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“Easily the most appealing of the Architecture sets in terms of design, complexity, and build. If you only buy one Architecture set, make it this one! It makes a lovely display piece and is also tactile and inviting. Yes, it's pricey but it's also surprisingly hefty with all... More those teensy parts and definitely a deluxe item - like a fine wine, or couveture chocolate, you get what you pay for.”
“As a LEGO set, I enjoyed Fallingwater’s “simple” build style. Modern LEGO Architecture sets are packed with advanced design techniques and styling. Fallingwater was like stepping back to my childhood, when all I had were bricks and plates and it was up to me to figure out... More what I could make from them. The method of sliding together the puzzle-like floors of the home is clever and gives LEGO Fallingwater a unique touch. The use of simple tiles and wall elements perfectly captures the cantilevered terraces that give Fallingwater its signature look.”
