Again, I would like to thank the LEGO Community Engagement team for sending these new Architecture sets in for me to review. This set is part of the winter 2016 lineup which also includes other city skyline builds such as Venice (21026) and Berlin (21027) which I’ll be reviewing very soon. I will not be giving a grade on these sets since there is no pricing information so the score will be kind of skewed. Even then, the final result does make a great display piece especially if you live in New York. The models do represent the respective buildings pretty well although it does get somewhat tedious building a few of them. Overall the LEGO Architecture New York City (21028) is a pretty neat recreation of the skyline of the city. The spire consists of a couple of dishes and a bar piece. The third tier is attached with a bar piece while the fourth tier is connected with an antenna piece. It is made up of four tiers with a different design for each to give the building its sleek look. LEGO interpretation of the New York City skyline. Earlier this year, LEGO released a standalone Architecture set with set 21023.įinally, we have the newest and tallest building in the New York City Architecture lineup with the One World Trade Center. This set features the Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty, and is finished with a decorative New York City nameplate. It is pretty much made up of wedge plates and studs. It is the smallest building in the New York City lineup but it does have the triangular frame that the building is recognized for. However the modified 1×1 tooth pieces work very well as part of the terraced crown which the building is known for.įollowing the Chrysler Building is the Flatiron Building. At the base of the spire, you have four gray cone pieces which looks a little off when you compare it to the actual building. For the Chrstler Building, it’s pretty much made up of clear 1×2 plates and white plates and jumper pieces. You’ll find a common theme with rest of the buildings as they are also repetitive. Next on the New York City lineup is the Chrysler Building. Build a detailed model of the New York skyline, complete with 5 iconic landmarks. The final outcome does look similar to the real building especially with the grill pieces depicting the windows. The spire is made out of a rocket piece, a 1×1 round brick, and a wand piece. This part of the build is very repetitive as you have to create layers of the building with lots of tan grill pieces. The next building that is built is the Empire State Building. You also get an extra one as a spare in case you lose one. Lady Liberty is represented by an olive green statuette. The statue sits on top of the pedastal made of mostly tan plates and tiles. The smallest landmark of this New York City skyline is the Statue of Liberty. To give it a flush look on the front, there are a few modified 2×6 plates with studs on side for the tile plates including one that says New York City. You start the build with the base for all the buildings to sit on. The contents of the box include five un-numbered bags, an instruction booklet, and a brick separator. The set contains 598 pieces however the price is unknown at this time. It details five of the most memorable landmarks in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Flatiron Building, and One World Trade Center. The first set that I’ll be reviewing is New York City (21028). For this next wave, a few of the sets will have a skyline format with some recognizable buildings from a particular city. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.In 2016, LEGO will be releasing a few more LEGO Architecture sets but with a little change to the format that’s been working for them.

We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps.
