The Greatest Set Ever Made!

What a way to celebrate the 50 Years of the Lego Brick. This is by far the best set created in Lego. With a fantastic 50s feel made by the great architecture. The Cinema is the highlight for me. It combines a Light Blue, dark Red, Light and Dark Gray, plus tan pieces, which in any ordinary set would be horrible, though somehow it is designed so well that it fits perfectly.
Right, now lets start a more compact way at looking at it!
Build: 10/10! Perfect! The Build is enjoyable and fun. It takes up the best part of a full day, but it's well worth it. Also it doesn't include Technic pieces making it more enjoyable. Overall the build is one of the best parts about it.
Architecture: 10/10! I don't who studied it, but WOW is all I can say. The Cinema inherits this the most, as it really shows off the great detail.
Playability: 9/10! As yet I haven't played with it that much, because I've been filming scenes more (By use of Stop-Motion). But the parts I have played with are just as good as anything else!
Cinema: 10/10! The best of the bunch. Probably the best building of all time. With a lift-off roof, a food counter, flashing lights, movie posters, ticket thing, a screening room complete with five chairs, a screen, and a projectile camara, it makes this also the most detailed building in Lego History. I honestly can't find a single con about it. It's just special.
Town Hall: 9.9/10! Like the Cinema, this features a great look at architecture too. It's inside room isn't that big, but again it has a lift-off roof. As well as that it has two HUGE plants inside, and has a lovely white carpet outside. And if that's not enough, it has a MASSIVE rose bed. It's brilliant! The second best thing about this set.
Cars & Other: 8.99999/10! The Fountain is lovely, it has of course the Three Golden Bricks, and a new water piece. As well as two (Yes, Two) benches. Then there's the Octan Truck. The Octan Truck has quite a long build. But unlike the might think, this is a LOT better then meats the eye. Then there's also the blue car which is also nice, nothing more to be said there. Finally the have the Octan Fuel giver thingy (Don't ask me what it's called!) which is also nice, plus realistic.
Garage: 9/10! The Octan Garage is a mix of the old and the new. It features the older look and color scheme, but also has new things, i.e the Car Wash, Service Station, and counter, ETC. I'll try to rap this up now so I can get on to the overall. Anyways, it can fold it's self back in fourth and is a great edition, though isn't as good as the other two buildings.
Overall: 100,000,000,000/10! Best set ever! I don't care what it costs just get it! It's fabulous and everyone should have one. Plus in the instructions you get a letter from the new owner of Lego, who is actually the creator of Lego's Grandson.
