LEGO Creator 40654 Beijing Postcard (276pcs)

I love Lego's Asian culture based sets so Beijing Postcard was an easy purchase for me. The set has quite a few pieces for what looks like a relatively simple build. I found myself having a lot of fun putting this one together with some cool techniques to get in a lot of detail at such a small scale. As a bonus, it pairs very well with the Great Wall architecture set (see photo's attached). Speaking of which, please Lego give us some more architecture sets based on ancient and modern Asian architectural wonders. The Colosseum and Great Pyramid showed there is still demand for big ancient architecture sets. How about the Forbidden City? Just as a side note, there has been some controversy over the "missing" flag. The set was originally teased with the flag, but sadly this needed to be removed due to Chinese laws preventing the use of the flag in commercial products. Good on Lego for respecting local laws.

Really cute representation of the Great Wall and Summer Palace in Beijing. Its a great display piece and looks beautifully accurate on my self.

Brilliant little builds my son loved doing them they look easy but some bit was fiddley for a left handed person

Really captured the beauty of Beijing, good job. Wish there are more cities in this series.

It was a fun build

Love it. Fantastic design, excellent build experience, and the finished product looks amazing!

Love postcards, value for money. Perfect for gift. Hope to make and more city's around the world

I truly enjoyed the ease of this build and instructions. It is a beautiful addition to my Asian Lego collection.

Super disappointed when I realize that the New York and Paris ones both have the National Flag. I can't understand why Beijing one doesn't have one?! It makes sense either the whole series have the flags or nothing has one, no? Imagine displaying the whole series together, there's one without the flag, it sucks!
