This set has Chicken Dinner written all over it. However, I've not got to patience to wait in a huge queue, let alone the horror of going into London ? I doubt there'll ever be more than 20% off this, so it's a likely buy for me with 2x VIP or decent promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites are reporting a summer release, others speculating May 1st. SAH is closed currently for training so no info there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the heck should it be different than other architecture sets ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply think it's the best European Architecture set to date and I'm not being biased as I hate London. I expect strong demand out of the gate and, hence, few discounts. It's different because it's Trafalgar Square and the others are not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Another top notch Architecture set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it will be the opposite Pricepoint too high, not very known outside UK or people who have been in London. Design is nice, but for Investment meh imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been and only have photos to go by but the build for this scale captures the locale rather nicely in my opinion. I am fairly certain to have seen a large minifigure scale MOC of the area some time back. Now if only I can remember where. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me its just as famous Big Ben, London Bridge, or Buckingham Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrToes16 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I went to Trafalgar Square on a high school trip tour about *BLRBLR* years ago. I remember going to a cafe kind of place built on top of a crypt. I thought that was kind of cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LEGO store is only a short walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty well versed in culture and interesting landmarks, but yeah...same. The set looks good, but I still think Lego should think about expanding this theme to include ancient ruins like the Machu Pichu MOC and other ancient buildings/structures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The set looks good to me, without them actually replicating the whole square. Here is some better pics for those who haven't been there. https://www.tripsavvy.com/trafalgar-square-sights-1583695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villager Chris Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I once overheard some tourists say it's the place with Nelson Mandela's column and the Louvre art gallery overlooking it.
