Shanghai Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“The completed Shanghai skyline is a pleasure to behold, with new and old architecture styles mixing and providing the visual feast of colors and textures that the city is known for. Each building utilizes different building techniques that are quite enlightening to... More experience. While many Architecture sets suffer from repetitive building, this set was very fun to construct (taking an hour and a half, including a quick sort of pieces).”
Brick Architect
“#21039 Shanghai is the 7th set in the Skyline series, and the first set released in 2018. This is the largest set in the Skyline series. While this set has about the same number of pieces as #21028 New York City, Shanghai Skyline set has a larger base and a more complex... More design. It is comparable in complexity to #21034 London, even though that set contains just 468 pieces.”

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.
