The Statue of Liberty set from the Architecture series has been seeing some modest discounts, but today it finally fell below the psychological $100 threshold. Originally, $119.99, it is discounted 20% to fall at $95.99 over at Amazon. It’s the same price at Walmart. You can save even a bit more if you’re a Target REDCard holder. They have it listed for $97.99, but after discount and before tax, it falls to $93.09.
At a social media gathering event today, LEGO revealed some sets coming out in the fall assortment for LEGO Architecture. Here they are:
1685 pieces | Age 16+
119.99 (USD) 139.99 (CAD)

I have some friends that just adore the Architecture Line, and you can’t deny how nice these look as display pieces. 21036 Arc de Triomphe has my attention for the little statues in white, and it comes in at 386 pieces and a somewhat hefty $39.99 price tag. Available starting on August 1st.
 
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen any decent discounts on Architecture sets, but this one is worth mentioning. Amazon currently has 21017 Imperial Hotel discounted down to $100.33 as of this writing. That’s 23% off and just a few pennies north of the magical/psychological threshold of $99.99. The set comes with 1,188 pieces and low slope roof elements in sand green, including the concave “inside corner” element.
This is an easy one I can pound out while pics are uploading. One set and it’s actually pretty neat I’d say. I’d love to review more of the Achitecture line, but my LEGO budget is tight and leaves little room for these, unfortunately.
695 pcs
$59.99 USD
Available in September
Amazon is discounting the Sand Green Cheese Pack, better known as LEGO Architecture 21011 Brandenburg Gate
If the LEGO Architecture line is your thing, two other sets are discounted 25% each. 21009 Farnsworth House
Late last week, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon helped complete a large scale model of the United Nations headquarters as part of the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit focused on “Architects of a Better World.”
The model is based on the upcoming LEGO Architecture set 21018 United Nations Headquarters which goes on sale at LEGO Shop@Home on October 1 with a double VIP points promotion for that month. Or you can buy it right now from Amazon.com for $46.74
It’s a little difficult to review Architecture sets without having personally visited the building that it’s modeled after. The best one can do in that position is to look at pictures online. Thankfully, the instruction booklet can help. Like the instructions found in other Architecture sets, this was a thick booklet offering pictures and words on the history and significance of the building. I thumbed through it briefly, wanting to get straight to the building instructions.
Just a small reminder that along with all of the other items that went up for sale on August 1st, 21050 Architecture Studio is also available from LEGO Shop@Home and Amazon.com and, of course, BarnesandNoble.com. Price is $149.99.
This set seemingly came out of nowhere. Either that or I haven’t been paying that much attention. Soon after I posted about the LEGO Architecture event at select Barnes & Noble stores and the mysterious exclusive set they were touting was it pointed out to me that the set was 21050 Studio. It’s exclusive to Barnes & Noble, so you can only buy it at BN stores and online right now until August 1 where it will be more widely available at Amazon
I’m sort of back after that exhausting Comic Con trip. Still exhausted, but I’m going through my backed up email and saw this come through my feeds. Starting today, July 25 through Sunday July 28, 450 Barnes & Noble locations will host a LEGO Architecture Studio event. There will be a discussion, Q&A, and a building event with some stores hosting a building competition where teams of five compete by building original architectural designs. Most events start at 7:00pm and vary by location. You can hit the BN site to find a participating store near you. Also, I can’t seem to dig up any further details, but there seems to be an exclusive LEGO Architecture set that will only be sold at Barnes & Noble and LEGO Brand Retail stores. Full press release below:
