LEGO 21051 Architecture Tokyo

Product Information

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. There are thousands of iconic landmarks worldwide, and each has an interesting story to share. Fortunately, you don't have to travel the world to see them. Tile (part 2555) in 182 Transparent Bright Orange Trans-Orange , with Yellow Rectangle and Triangle Cut-out (element 6255958). Opened in 2000, The London Eye stands 135 meters high and provides a spectacular panoramic view across London, up to 25 kilometers in all directions. It is the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel and has won more than 85 awards for its architectural quality, engineering achievement, and tourism.

Fans can celebrate the world’s most iconic structures with LEGO® Architecture building sets that capture the essence of the world’s best-known buildings, monuments and cities. 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. Finally, 21037 LEGO House – a 2017 set that’s exclusively available at its namesake in Billund – is apparently due to stay in production until at least the end of 2026, suggesting the LEGO Group has no plans to update what’s arguably already a perfect rendition of its interactive attraction.The hotel was built on a man-made island that guests can only access via a 340 metre long bridge road. It took five years to build, finally opening in 1999, and features 24-carat gold interiors, 24,000 square metres of marble and the world's largest Swarovski crystal ceiling. 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.)

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.

Empire State Building — 531,312,457,830 LEGO® Bricks

This skylines construction set includes scale models of famous landmarks: TOKYO SKYTREE, the world’s tallest freestanding tower, Tokyo Tower, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower and Tokyo Big Sight. The cherry-tree-filled Chidorigafuchi Park, a classic pagoda tower and Shibuya Crossing are also featured. Together on the baseplate with a ‘Tokyo’ nameplate, they create a compact, impactful display piece. The famous Tokyo landmarks model measures over 11” (28cm) high, 10” (27cm) wide and 3” (10cm) deep. When I looked a little closer, my impression became mixed. I was displeased by last year’s re-creation of the Eiffel Tower in #21044 Paris Skyline, and unfortunately the Tokyo Tower is designed in much the same way. (The similar building techniques has one advantage–the Tokyo and Paris skylines will look great when displayed next to one another.)

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. If that means building and rebuilding it 15 times before I’m satisfied with it then that’s what I do. This is the part of the build that will act as the centerpiece, and it’s where all the wow factor of the build comes from. Recreate some of Tokyo’s most famous buildings with this detailed LEGO® Architecture Skyline Collection 21051 desk toy. It’s a great souvenir for Tokyo visitors and an ideal gift for adults who live or have lived in Japan’s capital city or who dream of visiting. Even LEGO newcomers can zone out from busy lives and enjoy this relaxing building experience.Iconic buildingsThis toy construction set includes scale models of TOKYO SKYTREE, the world’s tallest freestanding tower, Tokyo Tower, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower and Tokyo Big Sight.

I generally try not to spend too long on a build but one of the heavy hitters is the Phoenix Cardinals Stadium. I didn’t personally build that one entirely by myself but in total it took around 600 hours to build. The LEGO re-creation involves a tiny re-creation of the Moat uses two 1×2 Tiles (part 3069b) in 42 Transparent Light Blue Trans-Light Blue flanked on both sides by trees with 222 Light Purple Bright Pink flowers. The small structure behind the water is not identified in the instruction booklet, and I was unable to determine a specific building it is meant to represent when researching buildings in the area. That’s too bad, since there are a dozen interesting buildings within the palace grounds that could have been included. Scottish Highlands Postcodes (IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-n 44, PH49-50, ZE ) 48 Hour Dispatch Once I’m happy with the centerpiece it’s all about filling out the rest of the model in a way that showcases the “wow”. Now that’s not to say I neglect the rest of the build, but those supporting elements don’t need to stand out as much as the centerpiece. If your LEGO® dragon breathes real fire no one is going to notice if its toes are a little wonky.” 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.

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.
