New York City Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set New York City since December 2025. Medium accuracy
The New York City Architecture Skyline designed by Adam Reed Tucker set includes five iconic structures in New York City; the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Flatiron Building, and One World Trade Center “Freedom Tower”. The buildings are arranged on a narrow base four studs deep. At just under 600 pieces and MSRP $59.99, this is a mid-size set for the LEGO Architecture range with various complex building techniques especially for the Freedom Tower model. There are some great parts in the set but the lack of variety is compensated by quantity of some parts.

A new and sealed New York City is currently valued at around $55. The average used price is $46 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $50 to $71. Our forecast puts it near $57 by next year. The set was available for 119 months, from January 2016 to December 2025.

“First of all, I think this is an excellent set. I had read many reviews saying it was poor value for money and was a disappointing scale, so I wasn't expecting great things when I ordered it, but I was completely amazed when it arrived. The box and presentation were... More incredibly slick and clean. The instruction manual had great photos and facts in it and was a joy to read. The building process was very fun and overall the finished product looks outstanding, especially lit in the dark.”

BrickNerd
“This is a nice set with nice element use (the tooth plates, the sand blue, the grill tiles) which nicely captures the spirit of the greatest city in the world. (As the founder of NYCLUG, I admit I'm a little biased.) I imagine that a second NYC set is coming soon that will... More include landmarks we haven't seen yet, such as Grand Central Terminal, the old Penn Station, and the Woolworth Building. But for now, this grouping of the Big Apple's best will do!”

“Of the three cityscapes I think this one is probably my favourite, for several reasons. It provides a greater variety of techniques used for constructing the buildings, some of which are very simple, while others are quite complex. Also, the height of the buildings help make... More this a far more impressive model, especially at first glance. I don't suppose there are many landmarks in the world that are better known than those represented here (except perhaps some London and Paris ones) so its appeal will be universal, which might not be the case for the other two. If you fancy dipping your toes into the Architecture line this would be an excellent set to start with. It's a fun build and makes a fantastic display piece. If you live in NYC buying it will be a no-brainer!”

About Architecture Skylines

Skylines is the Architecture series that builds a whole city in one model, with several of its landmarks side by side on one base, each at the scale that lets it fit. It started in 2016 with Venice, Berlin and New York City, and cities from Sydney and London to Tokyo, Dubai and Singapore have followed. Shanghai came back in a new version in 2025. Each set is a kind of postcard. Paris puts the Eiffel Tower next to the Louvre, and New York stands the Empire State Building beside the Statue of Liberty.

Skylines currently consists of 15 sets that as of now has run from 2016 to 2025. As of today, 21038 Las Vegas is the most valuable Skylines set with an estimated new/sealed value of $4,013.
