#10246 Detective's Office Review

The interior of this set seems pretty crowded but still there are greatly design with some playability. I have no idea who is the baddies but there are some secret compartment to play with. It definitely made a great addition to our modular collection. That said, there is some catch up for me to do on the previous launches of modular house. Sigh*
