LEGO 21051 Architecture Tokyo

Product Information

Increase the visual style of your LEGO set by displaying it in our case with a custom-designed printed silhouette skyline. Designed with authentic and realistic details, the LEGO Tokyo 21051 provides you with all that is required to build Tokyo’s iconic skyline.

Tile (part 3069) in 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray, with Map With Blue Circles Pattern (element 6226606). I also wish that they did a custom printed tile for the crosswalks (zebra crossings), as the diagonal crosswalk is one of the most iconic aspects of this intersection, but is missing from the LEGO model. From iconic landmarks to city skyline models, there’s something for anyone interested in architecture, travel, history and design. Those parts could be modified to line up better, either by increasing the vertical section to 1 plate tall or eliminating it completely.Recreate some of Tokyo’s most famous buildings with this detailed LEGO® Architecture Skyline Collection 21051 desk toy. However, this set is a better model and display piece than Dubai and San Francisco, and the Japanese capital is a more appealing destination to have in LEGO form. The model offers a number of useful new parts and an enjoyable construction process full of techniques and details to keep the interest of the builder.

I would have been much more impressed if they found a brick-built solution which did not reply on printed parts to achieve the unique shape. The printed skyline has been professionally designed to include all the famous historic and modern landmarks of the Tokyo metropolis, including the Nishi-Shinjuku skyscraper district, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Imperial Palace, Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Skytree and the Daikanransha Ferris wheel.BrickEconomy, the BrickEconomy logo and all content not covered by The LEGO Group's copyright is, unless otherwise stated, ©2024 BrickEconomy.

While the base is not overly complex, I did notice that 1×5 Rotor (part 32124) is used in two places, allowing buildings to be attached using a Technic Axle connection.Nonetheless, it’s bulging shape is accurately captured using two 8×2 Curved (part 42918) pieces on each of the three sides.

Overall, the set's merits make this a decent investment bet, but it's more likely it will see a small initial increase in value, rather than huge profit margins. Most notably, the right corner of the intersection is re-created using a stack of 1×1 round plates in 8 different transparent colors! I think that printed parts are necessary to capture such small details as, say, the minuscule Ferrari logo, or the intricate latticework on the Mode Gakuen Tower. This buildable skyline measures over 11” (28cm) high, 10” (27cm) wide and 3” (10cm) deep – you don't need a lot of space to display it, but its vibrantcolors and authentic details will catch the eye of every passerby! Thankfully, the alternating red and white sections are immediately recognizable as the Tokyo Tower, so at least it works as a representative object.AAA batteries last about 4 nights of constant use, though if you use rechargeable (as you should for anything in life) it's really no big deal. Nevertheless, I shamefully admit I will still be adding it to my collection…and hopefully making a few modifications. It feels a bit cramped but is filled with energy, matching my stereotype of how the city looks in the media.
