About this deal

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. While the base is not overly complex, I did notice that 1×5 Rotor (part 32124) is used in two places, allowing buildings to be attached using a Technic Axle connection.

Overall, the set's merits make this a decent investment bet, but it's more likely it will see a small initial increase in value, rather than huge profit margins.I would have been much more impressed if they found a brick-built solution which did not reply on printed parts to achieve the unique shape. The most interesting aspect is a technique that I’ve never seen before where the eight soft axle 19L (part 32235) elements are hidden in a collar at the top but are not attached to anything.

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. Made of high-quality plastic and carefully crafted by Lego experts, this set is perfect for anyone who loves architecture and Lego building toys. Lastly, I was pleased to see some advanced building techniques, especially for the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center. We partner with Rakuten Advertising, who may collect personal information when you interact with our site. The second stage uses a large bag (also with code 641H9), a small numbered bag, and an unnumbered bag containing eight soft axle 19L (part 32235) in 1 White.

It is made using alternating 2×2 Jumpers (part 87580) in 151 Sand Green and 1×1 Plate (part 3024) in 138 Sand Yellow Dark Tan. 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. However, this set is a better model and display piece than Dubai and San Francisco, and the Japanese capital is a more appealing destination to have in LEGO form. It’s a great souvenir for Tokyo visitors and an ideal gift for adults in love with Japan’s capital city or who dream of visiting. Introducing LEGO Architecture… LEGO Architecture sets capture the essence of the world's best-known buildings, monuments and cities.

Most notably, the right corner of the intersection is re-created using a stack of 1×1 round plates in 8 different transparent colors! Despite serious misgivings about the individual elements within the model, the completed set is lighthearted, cheery, and will look good on your desk or bookshelf. This is also sensible given the small-scale nature of the build and the fiddliness of applying stickers to such tiny surfaces.Simply lift the clear case up from the base for easy access and secure it back in the grooves once you're done for ultimate protection.
