The current wave of new official visuals has not yet allowed us to discover the content of the two new type sets skyline planned in the LEGO Architecture range for early 2020: references 21051 Tokyo (547 pieces) and 21052 Dubai (740 rooms).

 What we know about these two boxes can therefore be summed up in the list of monuments that will make up the skyline of each set: Tokyo Tower, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo Skytree, Chidorigafuchi Park and the crossing of Shibuya for set 21051 and Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel, Dubai Frame et The Dubai Fountain for set 21052.

I am expected to receive a copy of each of these boxes very soon, so we will discuss these in more detail. skylines on the occasion of "Review "in order to know whether they are simple derivative products intended to fill the shelves of tourist shops in the cities concerned or products which really deserve their name" Architecture ".

The second wave 2019 LEGO products are now available, and because my budget is not expandable, I gave myself a little time to think before offering myself a few boxes that are not part of the ranges I collect from unconditional way: Star Wars, Marvel (It is therefore difficult to ignore the blister 40343 Spider-Man and the Museum Break-In), DC Comics, Jurassic Park / World, etc ...

The and 10266 NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander is obviously ordered. For having assembled it, I am rather convinced that this box deserves to be part of my collection. I won't be assembling my personal copy right away, but I will open my box in a few months, that's for sure.

What puts me in a slightly more difficult position is the CITY range with its spatial theme which brings together several very interesting boxes. I have already fallen for the set 60228 Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control while waiting to decide on other sets including the very nice one 60225 Rover Test Drive.

I also bought without really knowing why the set 80103 Dragon Boat Race, probably a little frustrated with all these exclusives available so far only in other regions. The theme and content of this set doesn't excite me more than that, but I don't want to regret that I missed it later.

The Creator set 31097 Townhouse Pet Shop & Café also joined my shelves, I found a charm of Structure and I tell myself that I'll find a way to stage it with Spider-Man ...

Small deviation from my habits with the purchase of the Ninjago set 70675 Katana 4x4 because it is a futuristic vehicle that also caught the eye of my youngest son.

And a copy of the LEGO Architecture set 21046 Empire State Building, because it is a gift that I plan to give to a professional partner who lives in the USA and who will appreciate being offered this beautiful reproduction of an iconic building.

I also priced a copy of the set 75948 Hogwarts Clocktower, to have a "complete" Hogwarts but the other Harry Potter novelties will await Amazon promotions.

All this to ask you: which boxes have you fallen for so far?

If this gift does not inspire you more than that and you prefer to be offered real bricks, you can also take the risk of waiting until June 5 to accumulate the offers and at least get the set 40335 Space Rocket Ride which will be offered from 85 € of purchase without restriction of range ...

Many new features for the second semester are also available in the Architecture, Harry Potter, Ninjago, CITY, Friends, DC Comics, Jurassic World, etc. ranges ... I won't list everything here, you know where to look.
