LEGO 21051 Architecture Tokyo

Product Information

The LEGO® Architecture Skyline Collection will take you on a journey around the world! From LEGO® Statue of Liberty and New York City Skyline, LEGO® London Skyline with London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge, or a separate Trafalgar Square set, then Architecture Dubai, Paris, San Francisco, Tokyo... They deliver a challenging and rewarding LEGO® building experience for anyone interested in architecture, travel, history and design. One of the Architecture theme’s most impressive landmarks to date will also be gone by the year’s end, so if there’s any one set to make a beeline for in this list, it’s 21046 Empire State Building, which tears up the LEGO rulebook in more ways than one. Scottish Highlands Postcodes (IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-n 44, PH49-50, ZE ) 48 Hour Dispatch Tile (part 3069) in 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray, with Map With Blue Circles Pattern (element 6226606). Recently, we spoke to viral sensation, Alec Posta. Alec works as a LEGO® ‘Master Model Builder’ at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Arizona, United States.

The famous Tokyo landmarks model measures over 11” (28cm) high, 10” (27cm) wide and 3” (10cm) deep. Even new LEGO® architects can enjoy this easy-to-build architecture model kit, and it makes a cool creative Japanese gift for adults aged 16+ who have been to Tokyo, dream of visiting, or live/have lived there. 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 vibrant colors and authentic details will catch the eye of every passerby! On completion, the tower was dedicated to the volunteer firefighters who died in the city's five major fires. Inside the tower are hand-painted murals that reflect life in San Francisco in the 1920s and 1930s. The most striking aspect of the part selection is the sheer number of printed parts. This includes four new printed elements, and five existing printed parts. A total of 19 printed parts would be a lot for any set, and is much more than we’ve ever seen in the LEGO Architecture series.

My workshop is right in the middle of LEGOLAND Discovery Center Arizona, and I have a large window that opens into the attraction. While I build, people can come up to the window and talk with me. I’m very happy about the people skills I’ve built up working in this position.” I draw inspiration from a lot of different places, but one of my favourite methods is to start building with absolutely no plan in mind. I’m not the best at visualising what things are going to look like beforehand, so free-building abstract models gets my brain working in a way that allows me to get into a good creative flow. A much smaller part of the model that adds a splash of colour are the cherry blossom trees which use stem pieces and pink LEGO flowers very effectively, with the scale of the buildings giving the trees context. Next to the blossoms is a small part of Chidorigafuchi Park moat, recreated with 1×2 trans-blue tiles, which gets its name from being shaped like a plover-bird called chidori in Japanese. Located on the South Bank of the River Thames, it is the UK's most popular paid tourist attraction, with more than three million visitors each year. With the LEGO® Architecture London Skyline set, you can recreate some of the capital's iconic architecture at home on a much smaller scale.

When starting a model I try to identify what I’d consider the key part of the build. For functional models, this might mean the gearbox or any moving parts. For animals, this might be the plumage of a bird, the snout of a dog, or the stripes of a tiger. The first thing I do for a build is make that key element as stellar as possible.To calculate the average price, we add up the cheapest daily prices of the last 90 days and divide by 90. Neither the trees nor the small building are interesting to assemble, but the cherry blossom trees in particular add a lovely ambience and cheerful personality to the completed model. Shibuya Crossing LEGO Architecture sets capture the essence of the world’s best-known buildings, monuments and cities. From iconic landmarks to city skyline models, there’s something for anyone interested in architecture, travel, history and design.

On the positive side, I also noticed a lot of intriguing printed parts featured this set (especially for the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower), which I look forward to discovering in more detail as we get into the review. Lastly, I was pleased to see some advanced building techniques, especially for the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center. Build process Tile (part 2555) in 182 Transparent Bright Orange Trans-Orange , with Yellow Rectangle and Triangle Cut-out (element 6255958).The Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. Standing 321 metres tall, it is one of the world's tallest hotels. Statue of Liberty’s presence in this list also indicates it’s a stronger performer than 21046 Empire State Building, which may or may not have something to do with all that lovely sand green. (Or, you know, just because it’s a more iconic international landmark than a big tan skyscraper.) In recent years Alec has become a viral sensation, well known for his extreme builds and top tips for LEGO® builds. In total, he has amassed a sensational 1.4m+ followers on social media platform TikTok.

Ideal for display, collectible LEGO® Architecture models of iconic landmarks and city skylines offer a variety of rewarding building experiences for anyone interested in architecture, travel, history and design.We know recreating Frank Gehry's Lou Ruvo Centre this scale would be… challenging, to say the least, but we just feel that there are more inspiring buildings in Las Vegas, even if the brown look of the Wynn is certainly recognisable. It’s still more than worth it for that lovely Bellagio front, and its little fountains. Bonus! More beautiful Lego Architecture buildings
