To read a longer version of this article with more photos, visit: ĭisclaimer: The kit was provided by Adam/Capitol Records for this review, but my opinions are strictly my own. NOTE: This review was a generous excerpt of the in-depth review posted on my website. This set is recommended for people who already have all of the official LEGO Architecture sets, or people who have a connection with Los Angeles. I was impressed to see that this kit is comparable in quality to the earlier LEGO Architecture sets, and only slightly less detailed than current sets like the revised Guggenheim Museum building. ![]() I enjoyed building this kit it is was pleasure to step inside the mind of a talented LEGO artist with a different building style than the official sets. (At least in theory, you could create a model with 14 sides instead of 8 sides while preserving the existing diameter of 28 studs.) I do wonder if it’s possible to make the tower appear more round without making the model larger by using more than 8 panels. The finished model looks great, especially after applying the stickers (which are very effective at reinforcing the building’s identity.) This is especially challenging because round shapes are notoriously difficult to re-create using LEGO. This is a very good set that captures the spirit of this iconic landmark pretty well. The corner panels need to be slid in from the top. I did encounter a couple steps which were slightly confusing, but nothing too difficult to figure out. The instruction manual is extremely high quality, and almost all of the steps are clear and easy to follow. The model is built on a sturdy base measured 16x24 studs, similar in size to other LEGO Architecture sets with a similar number of pieces. High quality instruction manual, glossy stickers, and a promotional card included. (Do be careful with the custom part-it is very thin and more brittle than regular LEGO parts. The packaging is faithful to both the quality and styling of the official LEGO Architecture kits. This is a custom kit containing real LEGO bricks, four stickers, one custom LEGO compatible part, and a high quality box and manual.
