“This set is perfect for dedicated fans of the LEGO Architecture theme. Unfortunately, it won't appeal to many LEGO builders because the build process is too repetitive and the part selection is not very diverse (due to the overabundance of 1×2 Grille Tiles).”

“Not only is the finished model a joy to behold, it's also a pleasure to construct. The core uses some interesting building techniques, and you're not constantly bogged down aligning tiny 1x1 pieces, so it's a pleasant and relatively quick experience, despite all the grille... More tiles.”

“The newly released Empire State Building immediately caught my attention when it was announced earlier this year. By creating such a large model, the design team was able to more accurately capture the intricate stepped setback design of the real building than in previous... More attempts. By using hundreds of 1×2 Grille Tiles, the set approaches the level of detail achieved by talented LEGO artists.”

Elevate your LEGO® building skills to a higher level with this LEGO Architecture 21046 Empire State Building set. Located at the heart of New York City, the Empire State Building towers above the surrounding skyscrapers. Construction of the building began on March 17, 1930 and just one year and 45 days later, on May 1, 1931 it was opened for business.

The height of the structure was increased in 1950 with the addition of the iconic antenna tower. At 21” (55cm), the tallest LEGO Architecture model to date (July 2019), this highly detailed, collectible replica accurately recreates the symmetrical lines of the building’s 4 curtain wall facades and art deco antenna tower. The tiled baseplate depicts Fifth Avenue and surrounding roads complete with yellow cabs, and the model is finished with a decorative nameplate.

This 360°-displayable model delivers an interesting and rewarding building experience and makes a truly iconic centerpiece for the home and office. It has been...
