waddamon Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Hey, remakes in architecture! That's great, since there are not enough good ideas for new sets. This is sarcasm by the way, this game is getting precarious. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 The new one will have 200 new pieces, a cheese slope and a cat and will cost 50 usd more. Quote

ZULU Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 The new one is a serious upgrade. I feel it's different enough and better. DS and WTS were just remakes. BKhalifa is also a quite different building (and a remake), so with arch. you know it's a risk Quote
fossilrock Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I do agree that the new versions of the Burj and this set make the old ones look amateurish. SO, that's one thing going for it.. .but I also agree with Waddamon that there are so many architectural marvels out there they could focus on. Right now they are just rehashing stuff we've already seen. The guggenheim didn't really need a remake, nor did the burj. They could have moved on to other buildings, because there's only about a million to choose from. 3 Quote
Val-E Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 There we go, another new set for the summer. https://www.ottosimon.nl/nl-nl/lego-21036-arc-de-triomphe-architecture-411--1036?returnurl=%2fnl-nl%2fsearch%3fq%3dlego%2barchitecture%23411-1036 Guess that makes ET or Louvre a retirement candidate. New Guggenheim listed at 80 euros too! Quote

Miami Bomb Squad Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Wonder if Lego has to pay for any rights to make the buildings or landmarks? Quote
KShine Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 So that pretty much does it for the Architectural line. By the way, aesthetically, the new design sucks. The previous classic white/black one had class - I am not sure what this one is trying to do. 2 Quote

Expand I think they do for SOH and some others. I would imagine that in some cases, its Lego that receives money to make a set - Marina Sands, for instance. Quote

I don't think the Guggenheim needed a new version and I prefer the old style to the new one, based solely on the picture. The old one is very clean, like all of the "classic" architecture sets. Quote
kahuka Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 The new Guggenheim looks a lot more like the real building. 1 Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 While i appreciate the improved remakes, there are plenty of other classic structures to create the first time. 1 Quote

Expand You either go for the real details or you don't - you don't do both. Having the fine lettering on the building and the 2 yellow piece taxi cabs in the same set looks stupid. 1 Quote
