Beijing Postcard Reviews
The Brick Fan
“LEGO has revealed some new LEGO Creator postcard sets on the LEGO Shop that you are able to build. These sets seem to take inspiration from the LEGO Architecture skyline theme as they feature some famous landmarks in a particular city.”

“China is yet another massive market for LEGO that will only increase in importance in the coming years, so LEGO have also chosen to spotlight Beijing, in 40520 Beijing Postcard. Captured in the Beijing Postcard are iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China and the... More Summer Palace. I love how the Great Wall of China extends to the back. It’s a great set for those in East Asia, or call China home, and I can see this being extremely popular in LEGO Stores in China.”
