About this deal

LEGO Architecture building toys are compatible with all LEGO construction sets for creative building This is one of my favourite aspects of Architecture sets as you feel like you’re able to travel vicariously via these factoids and gorgeous photography. The complete model occupies an almost square base (the footprint of the set is 24 x 26 studs) which is quite pleasing to the eye. As you can see the tilework isn’t the most elaborate but I do like how symmetrical it all looks. Like most sets in the theme, the set is quite pricey for what you get, and if you don’t appreciate LEGO models at this scale or are not a fan of LEGO Architecture, this isn’t one for you and you’re better off buying other sets. Includes collectible booklet containing information about the design, architecture and history of the building

The middle segment is slightly elevated and there are things that I both hate and like about it. Firstly, I think the use of the plate with slide to create that straight pillars is really clever. The sense of scale thanks to the Memorial and vehicles outside are also very clever, which makes for a very sophisticated and well thought out design. Out the front, I really like the Victoria Memorial, a large monument dedicated to Queen Victoria. The use of transparent tiles for the fountain area is quite clever and I also like the white pylon in the middle, which is topped by a pearl gold statuette – a fairly rare element that can only be found in the Berlin Skyline set, and the 2016 LEGO Inside Tour set. I employed the help of my wife to help with this review! She was responsible for building the set and lent quite a bit of insight into the build experience!

Details

While the set isn’t the largest, the build process was quite long and tedious. Taking about an hour and a half to put together, the build was not the most exciting as you had to mostly snap small elements together. There was also quite a bit of repetition and it wasn’t until it all came together that it felt rewarding. Here’s the completed set. The set’s large piece count (780 pieces) is quite deceptive as most of it is made out of really small elements such as studs, plates, tiles etc.
