Temple of Airjitzu (70751) - Another Level Goes Up!

The fourth level looks like it's a cozy artist's nook - there is an intricately patterned rug on the floor and an easel stand looking out on a spectacular view.

It's the perfect location for an artist as the 3rd floor has decent elevation and would offer a wide view of the surrounding area. Thanks to the plethora of windows, the artist would also have a 360 degree view of his surroundings.

This is the first set that we've built that has an open back to allow positioning of the mini-figures. I guess this is the 2nd of two methods that Lego has to allow for playability with its sets. We are used to the style employed with the Creator City series where each floor is completely enclosed and needs to have the level above it removed in order to access. In that case, the floors are very lightly attached to each other. In the case of this set, the floors are firmly secured to each other and are not meant to be detached. Instead, play function is achieved through the open rear of the set.

Personally, we prefer the enclosed design as we principally build Lego for display purposes. Having the full building looks better from all angles. With the open-back design, the set only looks good when seen from the front.

True to temple form, each successive level gets progressively smaller to give a tapering effect.

I assume at some point there will be more external features added to the buttresses that currently protrude from the bottoms of the 3rd and 4th levels.
