LEGO 10276 Colosseum

The Lego Colosseum was my very first Lego purchase, and I couldn't be more happy! The instructions were very clear and easy to interpret and the overall build experience was exciting and rewarding. My only regret is that I finished it so quick, it was impossible to stop once I started!

It has been a fun experience until the completion of part 1 out of 4 but then of course there is a missing piece. I suggest you do not spend on additional express post delivery for any Lego sets. It's not worth when the ETA of extra pieces take 7 - 10 business days after all. But I am sure it will look great once all parts are completed.

This is one of the finest sets ever designed by the lego team and looks as amazing as it does in the pictures. It is a repetitive build which is tedious, however it is worth the wait as the end result is amazing. Up there as one of my favourite builds along the the Saturn V rocket and Ship in a bottle

Being an avid lover of all things Rome, and Roman history, this was a day one purchase for me. From opening up the box to placing the final piece, this felt like an epic journey the likes of which I’ve never had before with any other set. The base is amazingly supportive with plenty of Easter eggs embedded into it, with colours representing the Colosseums history and geology. As you start to build the walls of the structure itself, you soon get into that repetition that everyone talks about, but you also understand that it’s that same repetitiveness that creates the Colosseums amazing look! (Spare a thought for what the slaves went through). I loved the way this set comes together in sections rather than being built from the ground up, because when you finally join the final section together and complete the oval shaped wonder, it really leaves you in awe of what the designer has accomplished here! For the full experience, I highly recommend finding a good documentary on the Colosseum, and learning about its creation and history, as it will undoubtably give you a greater experience and satisfaction while building this set. I personally absolutely loved building this set, and for me, it was worth every penny! Gratias maximis tibi ago!

I was talking about this for weeks before I got it so my workmates made me live stream the build. No pressure. It took me about 15 hours over 3 days. I'm really happy with the end result. As expected, there is a fair amount of repetition but power on through; you'll love the result.
