London Postcard

Otherwise, the build is solid, colorful, and would look good sitting on your desk as you dream about your next European vacation! Many may not realize, but the first hot air balloon and the first lighter than air balloon flights were both started in Paris.

The finished model includes 4 iconic images of Paris including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Pont Neuf, and a hot air balloon. The tower itself consists of 5 sections topped with the clock section whereas the build only shows two of these sections but even with just that, it’s clearly still everyone’s favorite timepiece. Are these inexpensive “postcards” growing on you, or do you continue to prefer the higher realism (and higher cost) of the LEGO Archtiecture Skylines?

Unfortunately, this iconic vehicle is a little out of scale with the rest of the build, but I don’t this it would be ablw to be completes at a smaller scale. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

These sets will not compete with the Architectural Skylines series: they occupy a completely different space in the market. Stage 1, just like with Beijing and New York postcards, the background for Paris is a flat generic representational cityscape. Not only does 60431 Space Explorer Rover come with two Minifigures, the rover is also designed alternatively seat two MINIDOLLS without modification.Aimed primarily at a serious adult audience, we have seen a couple of more cheerful ‘postcard’ sets pop up in the creator range this year. While I am deeply interested in architecture, I don’t purchase many LEGO Architecture sets because they offer limited play value and shelf space is limited (what with giant UCS sets taking up much of my shelving).
