While all the postcard sets come in around 20-23 minutes of build time, the stickers on London delay that by a good deal if you decide to try and to get them aligned correctly.

It also includes a classic red double decker bus – adding to the family of traditional double decker busses dating back to 1966.While sets are in the process of being rolled out around the world (July-August 2022), a further 2 have been revealed: London and Paris. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . I am particularly fond of the way that the bridge uses the arched column elements in its base, and the tooth elements representing the rounded supportss on the side of the bridge. We proceed to add different elements to the base: the arc du triumph; Pont Neuf – the oldest stone bridge in town with one of Paris’ ubiquitous ferries, taking in the sights.

You might notice a single stud to hold the hot air balloon from part 2 of the build, and one of the newish 2×2 bracket plates (part 6250018) that is used to build the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Postcards are frequently photographic composites of major sights in a city, and so I feel it is fine to put the elements together in the way that they have, without needing to be as exacting as with skylines. Big Ben stands a paltry 315’ as compared to the Tower in 40568, and yet it’s actually taller in the set by about 1 plate. On the screens in Brickadilly circus, there are several references such as a crown for the monarchy, the name of the landmark surrounding a brick, a minifigure head and a sign reading ‘Sound of Bricks’ – which could be referencing the Sound of Music musicals time in the city .Here again, I can understand why they made the size of The Eye and Big Ben the way they did do to the parts we have available. The Eiffel tower makes great use of the plate with bar element to set up the grille tiles as supporting girders for the tower.

running primarily from 2016-2020, we had a surprise appearance earlier this year from a model of the Singapore Skyline. The postcards present major landmarks of the city, on a 4×18 stud base, with a tiled backdrop depicting the sky, 12 studs high. By comparison, most of the modular buildings come in around this height, so I think we have to give the LEGO designers here some leeway as an Eiffel Tower that would stand 3 times the size of the one included would look really out of place in a small diorama such as this.Throw in a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate or a bar of Divine Dark Chocolate and you will be a happy bunny! As part of the scenery, a small red car is included driving the roundabout in front of the Arc de Triomphe, and here the color is rather jarring in red. Celebrate one of the world’s greatest cities with this fantastic 3D buildable London Postcard (40569).

Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. We put the sky field/skyline onto the backof the base, and fill in the balloon, and build in the top of the tower. This set consists of five iconic elements of the London skyline and cityscape including Big Ben, The Eye, and Piccadilly Square.Also missing is that old Ben is a part of Westminster Hall, which is not even depicted on the 2d backdrop and is a missed opportunity. Not only does 60431 Space Explorer Rover come with two Minifigures, the rover is also designed alternatively seat two MINIDOLLS without modification.
