LEGO Architecture Shanghai 21039

Building this set has awaken so many memories from my time living in Shanghai (5 years). The buildings are well proportionate and very detailed and well designed! The price for this set is great and worth all the money. Can't wait to see what Lego has to offer in their new skyline sets. Perhaps something from Sweden?

Just very expensive for a child's play which they never repeat building it again

This is a good architecture set to build, it's colourful and has nice detail. We have had nice set a while and cleaning them is a nightmare but this one is the easiest one to clean and would say it's quite sturdy.

I've built several of the Architecture sets and by far, this is my favourite set. First of all, there is no play value as it's meant to be built, displayed and swooned over. As a display model, it's gorgeous with the subtle curves and sculpting of the two taller towers. I also love the variety in the choices in style of architecture. Unlike the London set which had a mishmash of different scales, these representations have similar scales, as much as is possible at microscale, resulting in a much more pleasing display. From the perspective of construction, it's not overly hard for experienced builders, but there is a great variety of SNOT techniques and I learned a lot of new ways of building. The final tower is so satisfying to complete, with such an elegant an ingenious solution. Finally, there is a real plethora of new parts and parts in new colours. It's a great set, even simply as a parts pack. Hats off to the Lego designers, you've hit a real home run!!

This skyline model simply is head and shoulders above the rest. Very innovative use of bricks especially on the Shanghai Tower (twisting building) and the Oriental Pearl Tower (the middle one with two globes). How did they come up with the twist?? It's a balance between getting the scale vs level of detail right but overall it looks fantastic up close and from afar. Took a while to catch one on the shelf at the store - this set is very popular.

I have long awaited a kind of asian skyline with soaring, complicated, detailed skyscrapers and intricate heritage. I think the vale for money is very good and it makes an excellent display model. The building techniques are new and clever and overall I think this is a brilliant set. :D

Overall a great set. It will be better if it's bigger. Besides, it this a typo on Page 4? (I think it should Longhua Pagoda instead of Longhau)

It is an overall good experience building it especially the unique building method of Shanghai tower. Nice on display too. Just that the oriental prearl tower may become a little loose when moved around too much. Great job Lego!

Love it！I would prefer to pay an extra $200 for a larger set. Toooo small. lol

this seller sells FAKE lego on Walmart website. item on the picture clears says LEGO but this is something else. i bought this Shanghai lego architecture set for my son's Christmas gift. SO WRONG.
