I second the 5 wows @Migration, so is that 10 wows then? I might not have enough room...He'll have to go on the other side where I moved the Lincoln Memorial, The UNHQ and Brandenburg Gate...hopefully there's enough space. 

Finally something to take over from imperial hotel, and white house will be less lonely. 48 studs wide? Also on scale of robbie house !

Looks like that to me. 

What's the price?

This will be a fun builder with the kiddo.

 

Wowzers, now we're talking. Very nice indeed.

Amazing.... Hopefully one of these days Canada will get a CN Tower/Skydome combo

Counted them and it looks like 56 studs wide, including the black base.

Beautiful! The set was entered on Brickset as 'yet to be released' and named "United States Capitol Building".

You are right. This is same width as robbie house. Depth is narrower though. Nonetheless i am happy now after a disappointing 2015 for architecture series.

The only set I've ever purchased on day one for me was Mars Rover. This will be the second.

Wow, yes.

I just wished they would have done the Louvre on the same scale. That would have deserved it way more, but of course that depends on personal preference.

And microfigs will be perfect for protesters on the capitol steps! Just choose your favorite issue! :-)

OHHH YEAH!  That's exactly what I was hoping for.  Glad to finally see a pic!

I think LEGO has upped its game this year. After seeing a technically UCS Technic (the Porsche), this and teh GBHQ I can easily imagine a 6k+ SW set down the road. They became braver.

Lego architecture is in my future....

Great looking set! Imperial Hotel is my favourite but that might change...... 

Impressively matches the real deal for the scale I say.

Yes.

great looking set, will be curious to see the price.  if history is any guide this could certainly be a $200 set but would it sell well at that price point?

Love everything except the dome, coulda made some special pieces to match the real thing.
