More fun than I expected November 3, 2006

I am a big fan of Puzz-3D puzzles and own most of them. When I first saw this one I though it was uninteresting. Much plainer than a castle and lacking the color of most of the other puzzles. But my kids really like the real Sear Tower so I ordered it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it glows in the dark (but it has to be really dark).
Because of the tall and narrow shape, putting this one together is an exercise in putting together the edges. The larger faces are more detailed than I expected as the windows have reflections of the surrounding city. Once the puzzle is together the actual assembly was a breeze. The straight sides and a clear order to proceed made assembly go smoothly and easily (much easier than the Empire State building).
I was also surprised to discover this is a part of a set of scale models of the world's most famous towers (which I am now going to have to locate). Once assembled, the nearly four-foot tower is quite impressive and in some ways is nicer than Big Ben (although less ornate). All of the towers in this series glow in the dark (although not as creatively as the Haunted House) but they need to be in very dark conditions to see it. The subtle differences in parts of the tower make the puzzle part more challenging than more varied puzzles so it may not be right for the beginner but it is far from impossible.
