21026 LEGO Architecture Skylines Venice

The Venice model was the smallest of the series of Architecture / Skylines (Cityscapes) sets, with only 212 bricks and featuring just 4 buildings. It includes a high quality box and booklet like all the models in the Architecture series. It is tri-lingual: English, French and Italian. Each of the landmarks featured in the model are explained in the booklet along with a photo of the real building. The part selection is decent with a variety of colors, interesting parts usage. The most valuable part is the minifigure statuette (#90398) in white which is a new color for that element. Only one is needed to build the model, but two were included in the set. The MSRP is $29.99, which is an expensive 14 cents per brick, one of the worst priced sets in the whole LEGO Architecture series, however the growth rate since it was retired is inline with other sets in the series.

It was retired in November 2017 with a lifespan of 22 months. The current value for a new and sealed Venice is estimated at $240 with an average yearly gain of about 12%. On the secondary markets, the typical price range for the set MISB/NISB is between $220 and $258. The current used prices for Venice can be found in the range of $138 and $182 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $151 if it is in good overall condition.
