LEGO Architecture Series

In a departure from the usual pirate ships and Star Wars vehicles, LEGO gains a bit of sophistication with the LEGO Architecture Series. With such recognizable landmarks as the Empire State Building ($30), Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater ($105), and the Guggenheim Museum ($45), this collection takes its inspiration from real world architectural marvels. While the size and complexity of the sets varies considerably from a modest 77 pieces for the Empire State Building, to over 800 for Fallingwater, these models make stunning display pieces and each comes with an informational booklet about the design and history of the structure.
