Pop open the box, and the first thing I noticed is “enjoy your building experience”, warmly greeting you. Here’s a look at the back of the box, which has a small blurb about the city of Sydney, dimensions of the set and some photos of the landmarks represented in the set. I’m a Melburnian through and through, and if you know anything about Melburnians, there’s always this playful rivalry with Sydneysiders on who has the best city, a feud that dates back decades, so I’ll be honest – it was quite disappointing that we didn’t get a Melbourne Skyline! But hey, Sydney’s a pretty cool city, and I’ve kinda grown a little more fond of it since I travel there quite often for work.Īt the very least, Australia is represented, which is always an awesome thing!

The Skylines theme introduced both a macro and micro focus, as the models scaled up to contain skylines and landmarks from some of the world’s most famous cities, but scaled down to incorporate smaller builds.Ģ017 sees the release of 3 new Skylines sets – 21032 Sydney, 21033 Chicago and 21034 London. Late last year, LEGO released the Architecture Skylines theme, a spin-off of the main Architecture series which has focused on LEGO re-creations of some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world. Special thanks to The LEGO Group for providing a review copy. Small confession, this is the first Architecture set that I’ve ever put together, so go easy on me! I recently got the opportunity to preview of the upcoming LEGO 21032 Sydney set, from the Skylines subtheme – possibly cause I’m based in Australia and all that. I have a few notable pieces (Falling Water, Marina Bay Sands etc) but it’s been one of those themes that have always been shelved because of lack of display space from my end. I collect Architecture sets on and off, but i t’s not been a particular focus of mine. LEGO’s Architecture Theme has always been a source of fascination for me.
