Besides the "Imperial Hotel", LEGO is releasing this famous landmark for 2013.

A little surprised this hasn't come up in other threads yet.

I would & should have posted this before but have been busy as hell this month.

Lame, it's an architecture set. Was hoping for a modular or a UCS version.

I`m honestly not particularly happy with this one. I don`t collect Architecture simply because of the price for what you get, but do admire some of the designs. This one not so much.

It may have been better for Lego to have produced one of those rather than this small version. Not sure what exactly it is about this one, but something about it just doesn`t work for me. Maybe a larger model would have been more appealing.

This one to me just does not feel or look very artistic. I saw a miniature Tower of Pisa on CUUSOO that was way smaller but looked so much better somehow. This is just big, blocky, and awkward looking.

Here is a review of this set from Eurobricks. I don't really like the look of this set because it looks too bland and under-detailed in my opinion. However the angle of this set looks spot on in comparison to the real structure.

Agreed! This set is very disappointing to me. Lego could have done a much better job with it.........

Check out this version by Arthur Gugick.

Very artistic and nicely done but considerably larger.

Not a fan. And it isn't a patch on the Robie House or Imperial Hotel. A step back IMO

Don't know if anyone noticed, but Leaning Tower of Pisa sold out at lego shop at home. 

A sign?  Could this one be on it's way out?  Tough to say, but I did mention a while back, that this one was never getting restocked at the B&N, and BAM's in my area, while the white house was.

Tough knowing retirement of Architect sets but it has been out two years so could be done. Just don´t mention Space Needle.

Yep, the retirement of Architecture sets is a hard game to predict, because they are very sporadic, and don't follow set patterns or logical retirement phases.  But most of the time they are good investments.  I just buy a few every month here and there, and then as they retire, they usually appreciate nicely over a few years.  This line is what really got me into lego.

I do think Space Needle is going out too, since that one was also sold out a few months back, but it did come back, since there is so much stock out there.  Although, I don't see those in lego stores anymore, they are still thick in B&N's, and Amazon it seems.

back available for Nov 7th. One to watch out for, nevertheless.

The good thing about arch sets is once they do retire, they can usually be found at B&N for another few months.

This one is done also.

I built this today. Really nice model which looks great on display. I just cannot believe Lego could not be bothered to add a " Pisa" flag sticker for it.

I just bought some more. Looks like it is retiring soon
