LOVED (8)

01The airport terminal is significantly taller and larger than expected with good bulk
02Details look right and authentic for an airport setting
03The rotating door set is impressive
04Good textured support pieces that reinforce the realistic look
05Working conveyor belt for baggage handling
06Multiple play features including moving conveyor, rotating doors, rotating radar
07Terminal structure towers impressively over the large plane
08Good variety of ground support vehicles (baggage carts, fuel cart, stairs)

CRITICIZED (8)

01Too many large pre-fabricated pieces that feel more like Duplo than LEGO
02Large canopy and fuselage pieces are single molded pieces rather than built up with bricks
03Heavy reliance on pre-designed pieces takes away from the building experience
04Rotating doors difficult to get figures into properly; awkward to operate
05Humps in fuselage for wing connections create awkward navigation for minifigures
06Restroom area extremely compact with toilet seat barely fitting and too high off ground for proper seating
07Control tower has no real access - must use large hands to place figure in single seat
08Cockpit and interior feel very pre-fabricated despite good space usage

What reviewers are saying

"Retired, appreciated, and still one of the best City sets ever made. Hunt it used."

The Earl of Bricks

"this is truly a complete play set with multiple Vehicles plenty of different Minifigures to use those vehicles and then the major building itself"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

Modular buildings — Interior detail rivals Creator Expert modular buildings at half the price. Set next to row of modular buildings and it holds own visually.

Police car / garbage truck City sets — City sets purely functional rarely appreciate after retirement, but architectural display pieces tell different story. The 60110 has climbed steadily in value since retirement because it works as both playset and display model.

Other 2010-2020 era City sets — One of top five City sets of 2010s—possibly the best. Anchors City display. 2016 era was golden age for City theme.

Current-generation City sets — Holds own visually against current-generation City sets that cost more and offer less.

Exclusivity

The Earl of Bricks: Retired 2018. Secondary market availability: complete used copies in price range surface regularly on BrickLink, local marketplaces, and LEGO conventions. Sealed copies increasingly premium. Wide retail originally.

Resale

The Earl of Bricks: Appreciating on secondary market and shows no signs of slowing. Appreciated 40-80% since 2018 retirement—solid return for City set, theme that does not typically generate aftermarket premiums seen in Star Wars or modular buildings. Appreciation reflects genuine demand from collectors and city layout builders.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Revolving door assembly
Uses stacked ring plates that turn smoothly on central axle. Small detail with enormous character. Simple enough to replicate from memory—mark of an elegant LEGO technique. Directly transferable to any MOC needing functional revolving door.
Transparent glass window panels
Large clear panels in quantities difficult to source affordably on aftermarket. Gold for builders constructing City-scale architecture.
White and light grey wall panel elements
Perfect for building facades and multi-story construction.
Baseplate-style floor sections
Provide pre-built foundations for multi-story construction.
Cherry picker element
Cantilever technique for garage door uses transparent panels and angled plates demonstrating architectural depth without excessive bulk.
Helicopter rotor assembly
Demonstrates how to build stable top-mounted spinning element that does not detach during play.
