LEGO Architecture Skylines: Dubai 21052 Building Kit, Collectible Architecture Building Set for Adults (740 Pieces)

This was a big hit with our 9 year old nephew. He enjoyed the challenge of building it and he liked learning a bit about Dubai.

Was a birthday gift, not yet assembled, but very much appreciated! He’s very excited to put it together and display in his room!

Just opened today to put together and several pieces missing. I would like replacement or money back. Ridiculous

This was a cool set for an adult or older kid (maybe too challenging for the younger kids). Printed instructions can be a little hard for old eyes to suss out, especially with the dark pieces. Its a very elegant adult application of lego love and would make a good gift from a grown up lego enthusiast, architect, or world traveler. The small size is a little disappointing. Not a surprise from the photo, but the package photo somehow made me think it would be bigger.

Bought as a gift. He loved it

I bought this item for my grandson as a gift. I cant really give it an honest review until I hear from him.

My 11yr boy loves it. He also collected Lego Architecture.

My grandson loved it !

I had forgotten how much I loved the skyscrapers of Dubai until I put this set together. It’s an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys high-rise architecture or urban design, or who does business in Dubai. I found it very easy to assemble in just a couple of hours. The parts of the different buildings were in separate bags, and the instruction booklet was very clear. Just to see how it worked, I downloaded the instructions onto my phone using the QR code, but the printed booklet turned out to be simpler to use. My only complaints about the set are related to the booklet, though, as it doesn’t lay flat when opened, due to its binding, and that some of the instructions were a bit difficult to see, when darker-colored LEGO pieces were shown against the book’s black background. Those were minor distractions, though. Building the city was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved putting pieces together in ways I had never done on any other LEGO set before to replicate the unique shapes of the different landmark buildings. I won’t spoil the mystery too much, but I especially love how the Burj Al Arab hotel turned out. Assembling the complex base and tall spire of the Burj Khalifa was the most difficult and repetitive part of the set. You do have to pay very close attention to the number of layers you’ve assembled, but the result looks fantastic, and it turns out to be much sturdier than I was expecting, given how skinny it is. Once completed, it can easily be picked up and moved around without having to worry too much that it will topple. It’s an amazingly cool display piece, of the sort that would look genuinely nice and interesting in almost any context. Pairs well with bookshelves, office desks, miniature train sets, and kids’ toy collections. One of my favorite LEGO sets of all time.

Awesome
