Looks like a good deal. Any other architecture kits worth buying?

I picked up the "LEGO Architecture Venice 21026 Skyline Building Set" from amazon for $26.39 (free shipping with Prime), Toys R US had the same price with free shipping as well.

Toys R Us Link [toysrus.com]
Amazon Link [amazon.com]

Thanks!

Good deal but so far I've only collected Star Wars for myself and Lego city for my son. If I expand into another line, it will be deadly to the budget. Not to mention piss off the wife.

Good insight into the balance between materialistic pursuits and relational investments.

Mine is even lower since budget is much tighter. Just Brickheadz and Minifigures and some seasonal sets. Really poor person making the best of it. 😏

Just a reminder to look at the sizes before buying. For example the Arc de Triomphe is only 3x4x5 inches. The minifig statues in the picture throw off the sense of scale because they aren't actual minifigs--they are greatly reduced in size.

wow, the TrU website is such garbage. Dunno how they are going to stay in business if their site is too shitty to actually process payments.

They are not. They filed for bankruptcy protection.

Already had Arc de Triomphe from a previous Amazon sale, but I just bagged London Skyline! Best part: it arrives before Thanksgiving!

I hope Lego gets some more Architecture sets out, they've been starting to discontinue a lot of the landmark kits in favor of skylines, and it's kind of a bummer. Still, my all time favorite: Trevi Fountain.
