21030 LEGO Architecture United States Capitol Building

The United States Capitol Building set was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair along with LEGO Architecture Buckingham Palace. The set's base is 56 studs wide and 14 studs deep, with the bulk of the model about 6 bricks tall, and the tallest portion is around 17 bricks tall. The final model only reaches 6 inches high including that tall dome and the building is 17 inches long. At the same time, builders should be impressed with the detail and realism that the designers were able to put into the build. One of interesting elements to this build is the fact that there is also an interior. The tiled floor, columns and eight different statues provide a glimpse into the grandeur and inner workings of the building. This can be viewed by simply lifting of the dome structure. The box contains the instructions booklet, 9 unnumbered bags, 6 loose 8x16 plates in dark bluish grey, a brick separator and the usual LEGO Architecture flyer.

It was retired in November 2019 with a lifespan of 38 months. The current value for a new and sealed United States Capitol Building is estimated around $147 today with current average yearly gain of about 23% but will level off in the next year closer to a 14% annual growth. On the secondary markets the typical price range for the set MISB/NISB is between $141 and $213. The current used prices for United States Capitol Building can be found in the range of $110 and $141 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $117 if it is in good overall condition.
