I agree with so many above.  The Golden Gate Bridge, The St. Louis Arch, The Hollywood Sign,  Notre Dame, The Pompidou Centre in Paris would be really cool too.   I know!  the Wales Millennium Centre (The Torchwood Headquarters).  Also Baker Street...   I love these sets... 

 

 

     I do also like Mount Rushmore and Niagara Falls but don't really see them as architecture.

I'm not really keen on these sets. They are well designed, but a little too simple. The price per brick is way too high though. When I'm investing in LEGO, I take solace knowing that even if the price doesn't rise I still have a bunch of cool Legos.

I love these sets for building but it does seem they are an expensive way to buy bricks.

Hearst Castle would be interesting. I love that place.

I agree that Mount Rushmore and Niagra Falls are not arch. Maybe it's time for a "Natural Wonders" line?

 Yes a "Natural Wonders" would make for some very interesting and likely, challenging builds.

Robie is a good test...I have three, I hope they do something special.

Now that the set is retiring and people are paying $200+ for them, we can hope that we will be rewarded for taking the chance...

I bought two last night with the TRU BOGO deal, so here's to hoping!

You'll do well I think.  Shame that TRU in the UK are as tight as a whale's anus, they even doubled the price of the TC-4 this week!  We only seem to get offers on garbage they they can't get rid of.  BTW... how many $ for each?  I ask as I may get my boss to bring a few back, he's in Philly this week.

My son did mention another one as we were driving thru Cincy last week.  In Covington, KY there is a building called The Ascent.  It does look pretty cool, especially at night when we're at Great American Ball Park (which was another he thought would be cool).

The Winchester Mansion, if done right it could be a fun set. Stairs and doors to nowhere faucets on exterior walls and ghosts. Lots of ghosts. Or maybe Hurst Castle.

LOL I totally thought of the Winchester Mystery House too! Doors that open onto walls...

I wouldn't mind another White House that actually looked like the White House! Those columns run in a semicircle, NOT a straight line!

I'm looking forward to the Trevi Fountain. Everyone has a memory tied to a certain place in the world that they'd love to see immortalized in Legos, right?

Re: WTC...too soon IMO :(
