You could not miss it, the set 21050 LEGO Architecture Studio is finally available on the LEGO Shop FR for the modest sum of 159.99 €.

For this amount, you get 1210 white and transparent LEGO bricks, sorting trays and a pretty 272-page ideas booklet written in collaboration with great architects. 

The question I ask myself is: Who is interested in this box? If you decided to invest nearly 160 € in this set, what was your motivation? Do not hesitate to interact in the comments, just to make others want (or not) to get this set.

(For those who would like to have a preview of the booklet provided in this box, you can download a PDF version of decent quality at this address (24 MB))

I regularly receive emails from LEGO fans interested in purchasing the 21050 Architecture Studio set, who do not understand that this box is only available on the American LEGO Shop ($ 149.99) and who resign themselves to ignore this set when they discover the excessively high prices charged on eBay, amazon et al.

It would seem that all hopes are permitted again as to the marketing in Europe of this box containing 1210 bricks accompanied by a 272-page guide produced in collaboration with great architects: This set will be marketed in Germany, and a priori throughout Europe, from next August and forecasts a retail price of € 129.99.

This put on sale in Europe, and possibly on the LEGO Shop FR, would be excellent news for fans of the Architecture range who could finally acquire this already collector's box, which according to many reviews is worth more by the content of the guide provided than by the inventory it offers, at a reasonable price. To be continued...

Update : The set is already confirmed for early August in Great Britain on the LEGO Shop UK at the rate of £ 149.99 and in France at a rate of 159.99 € on the LEGO Shop FR.

The giant reproduction (Over 40.000 pieces) of the next LEGO Architecture set: 21019 Eiffel Tower is in place on the premises of the Le Bon Marché brand in Paris.

Since we are not all able to go on site to admire this superb representation of the official model, here is a photo that Nicolas kindly sent me, on which I added the LEGO version of 321 pieces. Nice work on the part of the manufacturers, the reproduction is very faithful.

I remind you that the official set will be on sale in preview at the Bon Marché from December 2 to 14 for the modest sum of 45 €.

(Another big thank you to Nicolas for the photo)

What better place than the premises of the Parisian brand Le Bon Marché (24, rue de Sèvres, 75007 Paris) to exclusively present the highly anticipated next LEGO Architecture set whose marketing is announced for January 2014: The Eiffel Tower (Reference LEGO 21019).

From November 1, a reproduction of more than 40.000 pieces of the Eiffel Tower from the set will be exhibited on site and the brand will have the exclusivity of the set as soon as it becomes available.

It will be possible to reserve this set of 321 pieces, sold for € 45 from November 1, with a preview sale from December 2 to 14 (See the Bon Marché brochure in pdf).

This is not the first time that Le Bon Marché has welcomed LEGO models: During the summer of 2011, an exhibition bringing together many sets from the LEGO Architecture range accompanied by large-format versions had already taken place in the premises of the department store.

This will probably be the first and only set in the Architecture range that I will afford.

(Thank you to everyone who sent me the document by email, in the comments or via facebook)

The rumor that i was talking to you a few weeks ago has just been confirmed by the "accidental" uploading of the box above: The next set of the Architecture range (21021) will be the magnificent Marina Bay Sands hotel complex located in Singapore.

This building had won the annual competition organized by LEGO "Vote & Inspire Us".

We therefore have to discover the Eiffel Tower in Architecture sauce, also announced by the same rumor ...

Accuracy: The image above is a homemade assembly, to make you forget that the visual of the set is really small ...
