One of the best set's Ive ever built, its a treat from start to finish.

I was worried it will be too grey and thus it will have a weird appearance. But i was wrong. Its impressive to look at from both the inside and the outside. And at no step did i feel i am getting tired or bored due to repetition or piece count.

There are a few "play" functions like the water wheel moving the grinding stone or the castle entrance (Portcullis) can be moved and down.

I have never ever built a set from the Lego castle series but this was amazing. If you are sitting on the fence whether to buy it or not, I would recommend to buy it without a second thought.

10/10.

The most realistic of the 4 cada modular sets that I have. Which is also its shortcoming.

Part quality: 5/10

I do not know what it is with CADA modular parts that makes them so bad. There are significant gap between parts (slide 7). If you push down a bit more then the parts fall apart.

This is still a big upgrade over some of the other sets in terms of structural integrity as the designer has done a great job.

Accessibility: 5/10

Same problems as with other sets in the CADA modular building series.

You have to open around 1200 pcs in three stages. So people who do not have enough space are going to suffer. Plus finding parts takes out the joy of building due to time and effort needed to find the right part. I dont know why CADA cannot build in small bags.

The instructions booklet and building instructions are not clear. This set is clearly not meant for beginner builders.

Lights and stickers: 4/10

Lights are normal fairy lights that are a mess to set up. Same with stickers. You have to stick 1x2 transparent stickers on tiny transparent surfaces for a total of 9 times. All the parts in the vending machine are done that way.

Looks: (6/10)

This one of the least good looking sets in the series. At least others look amazing when built.

Overall: 20/40 (50%)

Average set. Avoid it unless you wish to complete the series

The set is stunning but part quality and lights are a pain.

Part quality: 6/10

I do not know what it is with CADA modular parts that makes them so bad. Light filters through a lot (slide 8), they don't fit will with noticeable gaps (slide 12).

The backside of the set (slide 12) juts out by 2 mm which means it wont fit and pcs come off due to poor clutch. The electricity pole slants at an angle due to it being top heavy and poor clutch power at the base (slide 3,4 and 5).

Its not an enjoyable experience.

You have to open around 1108 pcs in three stages. So people who do not have enough space are going to suffer. Plus finding parts takes out the joy of building due to time and effort needed to find the right part. I dont know why CADA cannot build in small bags.

Lights are normal fairy lights that are a mess to set up. Same with stickers. You have to stick transparent stickers on tiny transparent surfaces for a total of 9 times. Painful.

Looks: (9/10)

Stunning set with lots of elements and colors work well. The box that it comes in is stunning as well.

Overall: 24/40 (60%)

Aside from the looks, the set is bad. I would avoid it.

My first ever Lumibricks/Funwhole set. I had built 4 CADA modular sets before this one after someone told me to not start the Lumibricks sets till i finish the CADA ones. And now I know why.

Build: 8/10

Amazing brick quality and the instructions are very clear and detailed. Every step is clearly marked out. I had never built sets with such intricate lighting (cada is just a string of fairy lights) but this set made it easy. I am docking 2 points because you have to open 3-5 bags in one go.

Printed parts look amazing.

Lights: 10/10

Instructions are as clear as day light and lights are easy to place. Check images 3,4,5, and 6 to see how the set looks with the lights on. Slide 11 and 12 for instruction manual image.

Display: 10/10

The set just looks amazing. So many details are inside the "shop." The colors work really well together.

Minifigs

A bit weird compared to Lego ones. But there is reason for it, Lego Patent. You can replace them with lego one if you want to.

Overall: 28/30 (~93%)

This set is just amazing. If you can get your hands on it, please build it. It reaches the height of Lego modulars through its design and part quality and then surpasses it through the use of lights and printed parts.
