Those skyline sets are fun. I picked up Chicago a couple of weeks ago and might get the London one next.

Those are beautiful. Also, that picture gives no idea of scale - any idea how big those are?

The Chicago measurements are "over 7” (20cm) high, 8” (22cm) wide and 1” (5cm) deep." Good size for a desk or shelf. You can judge the others based on that. The Guggenheim will probably be bigger.

Perfect, thank you!

Of all of them I'll almost certainly pick up The Guggenheim.

I religiously collect the Architecture series. I wish they would do something new instead of rehash old sets (like The Guggenheim). Arc De Triomphe looks nice though.

Now that I've clicked through the link, that Guggenheim actually looks pretty small.

The architecture sets definitely have been scaled down in recent years. I was surprised how tiny the Lincoln Memorial was when I built it a while back.

I can see why one would think that, but then again they just released the US Capitol Building, which is pretty wide. Granted, its not as large as the Robie house or the Japan Hotel.

But yeah, they are liking the skylines right now it seems. which is cool for most people, but I'd rather drop $200 on one large monument again

I'm with you there Stark. The Robie House was such a great, time intensive build!
