Articles about sets in the LEGO Architecture Series.
(The series was created in 2008 by Adam Reed Tucker, in partnership with The LEGO Group.)
Easily the most beautiful addition to the LEGO Architecture series in years, this set also features a new element and a good value — but is it one of the best sets in the series?
An interesting “baby architecture” set containing four popular landmarks was released today.
I am not happy with the increasing purchase requirements for gift-with-purchase sets, and I’m not a fan of the awkward system that allows LEGO VIP Members to spend VIP Points on exclusive ‘free’ sets either. They aren’t really free anyways since you need to make another purchase. (You will probably want to spend enough to receive free shipping, too – $35 in United States).
Nonetheless, since Brick Architect was created to celebrate LEGO Architecture, I wanted to make sure readers are aware that #40585 World of Wonders is available for a limited time on the VIP Rewards Center. It costs 2700 points, which works out to $20.77 USD for 382 pieces – an equivalent of $0.054 per piece. (A $20 dicount at LEGO.com costs 2600 points.)
#40585 World of Wonders is available now as a ‘featured reward’ for VIPs.
As noted in my January 2023 Roundup, I noticed that the set uses stickers instead of printed tiles which is unfortunate. As you can see in the photos below, even The LEGO Group can’t apply stickers without a little bit of dust sticking to the edge.
Disappointed to see stickers instead of printed tiles with this set.
#21041 The Great Wall of China and #21056 Taj Mahal have already been captured in LEGO Architecture sets — I would not be surprised to see a larger LEGO Architecture set based on Al-Khazneh (Petra) or The Parthenon later this year.
A decent-sized gift-with-purchase based on five rare LEGO sets that you can only buy at The LEGO House in Billund — but what’s the point when visiting Billund is out of reach for most LEGO fans?
The jewel of Mughal architecture is beautifully captured in this intricate LEGO set. The only real question is whether it’s fun to build (and if there are any surprises hidden within).
Can a LEGO set based on an undecorated pyramidal shape earn the Architecture label? Possibly — especially when placed into the context of the era when it was built.
Ten years later, The LEGO Group is revisiting one of the first great models in the LEGO Architecture series. Let’s see if this interpretation improves on the popular 2010 version.
This summer, an updated version of The White House will be released which includes the East and West Wing. Let’s take a sneak peek at the new set (and the new packaging designed to appeal to Adult Fans of LEGO).
Adam’s creating some exciting new Architecture sets, but he had to move away from the LEGO brick to make it happen. We talked with Adam to learn more…
This brightly colored addition to the LEGO Architecture Skyline set is jam packed and includes a lot of printed parts, but how does it compare to other sets in the series?
The modern city that blossomed in the desert, Dubai has some amazing architecture to explore. Let’s see how well it translates into the LEGO Skyline series.
What can we learn from the initial photos of these two additions to the Skyline Series? We took a critical look at the photos so you don’t have to!
Does a set containing an entire plaza belong in the LEGO Architecture series? Lord Business says yes (since there’s a LEGO Store nearby), but I’m not sure…
