TheDarkness Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 So it is an all white kit with the aim of teaching people advanced techniques in Lego architecture? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 So it is an all white kit with the aim of teaching people advanced techniques in Lego architecture?That's what it looks like to me. Basically a 'blueprint' set for building your own Architecture style sets I'd say. It could be an interesting parts package if all I wanted so happened to be white pieces. Quote
tormentalous Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Totally looking forward to going to see the presentation and picking up the set as well. Thanks for the plugs Orc! Quote

Nice to see you around here again. We haven't heard from you in a long while and a lot has happened since then. Quote
comicblast Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 This actually sounds really cool!! I wish they had these in more than one color. You know... 50 shades of gray and red and blue and stuff! Should we expect this to be around $90-$100? Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I want it so much....so clean....so much potential dirt... Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Interesting concept, just not for me. I have very little creativity for this kind of thing. Quote
Quacs Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Gonna predict $149.99. Just watch. :-) Could be right, sarm. College class supplements can be Quote
nolanfan34 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Also, I hope I am wrong on the price. My dad is an architect, and I don't think I can avoid buying this for his next visit with a 5 year old budding builder grandson in the house. Quote

I bet everyone will be having tons of fun building different structures while also learning about architecture. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days? Quote
nolanfan34 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days? Ha, I hope it is longer than that. If that was the case it would put The Zombies to shame pretty quickly. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days?I think it will only be initially and for this event, but afterwards I would hope to see it pop up on Shop-at-Home. Quote
Veegs Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Very cool idea. Great play and display capability. Quote
bheltzel Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 They are holding one of these in Atlanta as well on the 25th. http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/event/4449435 Quote

comicblast Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 People over at Brickset are saying that the 21050 will be available at other retailers, but B&****** is just getting it first. http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/11247/architecture-studio-21050-anyone-know-anything Here's to hope! Quote
kerrmando Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Hmm, how to get one of these in the first three days without being at the event? Quote
Quacs Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 It's possible you just need to be at a Barnes & Noble. When I checked the local Chicago calendar, here's what it came up with: http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/event/4420600 While it doesn't provide specifics, this "special event" sounds like they will be introducing Lego Architecture studio. I'll call tomorrow to see exactly what they're introducing (assuming the clerk answering the phone knows anything). Quote
