Elevate your LEGO® building skills to a higher level with this LEGO Architecture 21046 Empire State Building set. Located at the heart of New York City, the Empire State Building towers above the surrounding skyscrapers.

At 21” (55cm), the tallest LEGO Architecture model to date (July 2019), this highly detailed, collectible replica accurately recreates the symmetrical lines of the building’s 4 curtain wall facades and art deco antenna tower. The tiled baseplate depicts Fifth Avenue and surrounding roads complete with yellow cabs, and the model is finished with a decorative nameplate. This 360°-displayable model delivers an interesting and rewarding building experience and makes a truly iconic centerpiece for the home and office. It has been developed for all with an interest in travel, architectural culture, history and design. This new one, 21046, which stands at 55cm tall, dwarfs them both and upon first inspection looks to be a bit of a boring and repetitive build given that it's big, square and there are 684 1x2 grille tiles to attach, but that's not the case at all... I didn't get to talk to designer Rok Zgalin Kobe at the recent fan media days, but I understand that he said to those that did that this technique is OK with tiles, but not plates.
