Shanghai Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“21039 Shanghai originally debuted roughly in the middle of the Skylines subtheme’s run in 2018, and hung around on shelves until the end of 2020. It’s currently survived by evergreen skyline sets 21028 New York City, 21034 London and 21044 Paris – but the LEGO Group has now... More resurrected the Chinese cityscape from the retired LEGO sets pool with a brand new set number.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO Shanghai Skyline set offers one of the most intricate builds in the Architecture Skyline series, featuring detailed recreations of landmarks such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, and The Bund. Its wider base and clever sub-assemblies allow for advanced techniques, including curved and angled structures rarely seen in the series. Though priced slightly high for its piece count, the design accuracy and innovative construction make it a standout display piece for fans of architectural LEGO sets.”
