Just to take a break from editing sets from The LEGO Batman Movie range, I tackled today one of the references of the LEGO Architecture range marketed since early 2016: the 21028 New York "Skyline" set.
Well took me, I had a good time. The change of scale and the different use of the parts that we usually assemble in the ranges System offer a short but very interesting experience. Except that it is even easier to pass in bad faith in mode "LEGO forgot a part in my set!"with this assortment of very small stackable bricks, before finally getting our hands on the 1x1 tile we are missing ...
Small regret with this New York landscape, the nanofig used to embody the Statue of Liberty would in my opinion have deserved a special mold for a slightly more faithful representation of the monument. Seen from a distance, it works. Up close, it is still less convincing.
Another detail that jumps out at this scale: the few injection marks visible on some parts spoil the general appearance a little when you bend down to admire the result a little more closely.
As for the assembly process, we quickly move on from very simple techniques where we stack flat on the flat for the Chrysler Building and Flatiron Building, to some more complex sequences which allow to obtain a rendering in SNOT very successfulEmpire State Building and One World Trade Center. Despite the apparent simplicity of the whole, it is therefore necessary to be meticulous and patient.
Note that LEGO provides a second nanofig among the few additional parts, so you don't end up without Lady Liberty if you lose the first one.
On the price side, you will have to pay 49.99 € in the LEGO Shop or in a LEGO Store to offer you this box. At the price of the kilo of plastic, it is poorly served. But with 598 small parts, a tile pad printed with the name of the city, a beautiful box and a luxurious instruction manual with some information (in English) on the designer of the set and the buildings reproduced, this set is a nice gift for a lover of discreet decorations, a fan fan of the American dream or a traveling friend back from New York ... And it's always better than a colorful tie or a box of bad chocolate.
Since the launch of the first sets of this series of Skylines (21026 Venice, 21027 Berlin / Germany et 21028 New York City) , LEGO has announced three new references based on the cities of London, Chicago and Sydney to discover at this address.
Note: As usual, I put the box in play and add an exclusive keyring on the same theme brought from the LEGO Store in Rockefeller Center. You have until December 13, 2016 at 23:59 p.m. to manifest yourself in the comments. The winner's name / nickname will be posted here within 24/48 hours of the contest closing date.
Update (very late): The draw has taken place and the winner's nickname is displayed below.
