London Postcard

Product Information

LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Brick and Knob configurations, the Minifigure, DUPLO and LEGOLAND are trademarks of the LEGO Group. Bricadilly circus is remarkably sophisticated, built arounds a series of wedgeplates and SNOT Bricks – it is a shame that they are covered up with the curved slopes. The stickers on the name plates are particularly on brand for what I expect to see on a postcard, reflecting the iconic bowler hat in London, and reflecting the iconic Art Nouveau stylings seen on the Parisian Metro.

Also missing is that old Ben is a part of Westminster Hall, which is not even depicted on the 2d backdrop and is a missed opportunity. We do our best to ship out items in the best condition but we can make no guarantees on the shipment handling process. I am particularly fond of the way that the bridge uses the arched column elements in its base, and the tooth elements representing the rounded supportss on the side of the bridge. As I started to build them, I quickly saw the appeal… These are small sets with lots of detail that can be placed on your desk at work or even put on the fridge by attaching a magnet on the back.There are some interesting building techniques applied in both sets, so lets start with the Paris build. This set consists of five iconic elements of the London skyline and cityscape including Big Ben, The Eye, and Piccadilly Square.

Initially slated for release earlier in the year, postcards of New York and Beijing were delayed, possibly due to trade mark issuses associated with the use of the Chinese Flag. With the bright colors and instantly recognizable landmarks, do these sets measure up to the challenge?

You might notice a single stud to hold the hot air balloon from part 2 of the build, and one of the newish 2×2 bracket plates (part 6250018) that is used to build the top of the Eiffel Tower. I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of the stickers for the London Eye, but overall, I appreciate the way those stickers add to the details, while not leaving printed elements to live on with a single purpose. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.The Eye however, is 443’ tall but come is in only at 22 plates high, meaning a plate there is over 20’ thick! If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. While sets are in the process of being rolled out around the world (July-August 2022), a further 2 have been revealed: London and Paris. The postcards present major landmarks of the city, on a 4×18 stud base, with a tiled backdrop depicting the sky, 12 studs high. The tower itself consists of 5 sections topped with the clock section whereas the build only shows two of these sections but even with just that, it’s clearly still everyone’s favorite timepiece.
