About LEGO Architecture Sets

LEGO Architecture sets features popular landmarks, monuments attractions and city skylines that are from all around the world. In each set, the instructions booklet usually features several pages of the landmark’s design and history. 

LEGO Architecture sets typically do not have any LEGO minifigures.  These sets are smaller versions of the actual landmarks, monuments and city skylines. There are quite a few incredible and awesome LEGO Architecture sets. As time goes by, LEGO Architecture sets have gotten bigger, more complex and more detailed. 

LEGO Architecture Sets Availability & Pricing

The recently released LEGO Architecture sets are usually still available at the LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK | Australia). Free shipping on orders above $35 USD / $35 CAD / £50 GBP / $149 AUD.

Once LEGO Architecture sets are discontinued and retired from the official retailers and merchants, they can usually only be bought at third party marketplaces. Usually, LEGO Architecture sets in the aftermarket can be pretty pricey especially for brand new in box sealed sets. Sets that are in used condition would usually be cheaper. 

With that said, not all LEGO Architecture sets may go up significantly higher in prices. However, as time passes, LEGO Architecture sets do go up in value. Popular LEGO Architecture sets will go up at a higher rate than sets that are not as popular.
