Reviews — from Brickset owners
10232 Palace Cinema divided reviewers following its release in 2013, in livelier days of user-contributed reviews, and continues to do so today. Supporters have praised its architecture, especially the marquee, and its atmosphere; detractors have criticized its limited playability, lack of internal interest, and poor design. I agree with the latter: the choice of a cinema brought with it challenges that the designers…
I get there's probably nobody reading reviews for this set these days since it's only available on third party websites but in case anyone needs a fresh opinion... I got 10182 Cafe Corner and 10211 Grand Emporium when they came out when I was a kid. I remember seeing this on the LEGO website when it was first released and I was studying film in college and really wanted it but never had the money. Now that I'm an adu…
Gorgeous to look upon and a very good build. Another unique piece that you must have when building a city. Love the front doors and the stairs leading all the way to the roof. Very spacious on all levels. It is this last fact that compares poorly to other sets of this type leaving continuous playability difficult.
I received this set for Christmas nearly five years ago during the start of a three year long period where I stopped writing reviews on Brickset. Having a newfound appreciation for the modular line, especially after building 10255 Assembly Square, I felt that I should give my two cents on the Palace Cinema for completeness sake since this is the only modular I own which hasn't been reviewed yet. The Palace Cinema is …
When I first saw this set, I was very wary of the architectural style. However, at the start of 2016, I found at a very good price, and since I needed a cinema in my Lego City, I bought it. I found out that the Oriental-style architecture that had turned me off, was in fact very popular during the 1930s, thus making it an important feature. But, sadly, I was let down in many other aspects of the model, which I will e…
I'm a bit late to this party I guess as this set has been out for 3 years. I didn't like what I saw in the pictures when it was released so I wasn't going to buy it at full price. I recently got a chance to get at a good discount so I finally bought it. I started building with fairly low expectations, hoping to be surprised. Box/Instructions A very big box that's only about 60% full of parts. Strangely the picture on…
