London Postcard

Product Information

Expand your creativity and love for buildings by building your own version of London with this LEGO Creator 40569 Postcard Set. Postcards are frequently photographic composites of major sights in a city, and so I feel it is fine to put the elements together in the way that they have, without needing to be as exacting as with skylines.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Throw in a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate or a bar of Divine Dark Chocolate and you will be a happy bunny! The tower itself consists of 5 sections topped with the clock section whereas the build only shows two of these sections but even with just that, it’s clearly still everyone’s favorite timepiece. We can help with that by supplying you with your favourite magazines - you could be reading Chat or Heat, Prima or Marie Claire with your feet up having a lovely cup of Twinings English Breakfast Tea.Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.

I am particularly fond of the way that the bridge uses the arched column elements in its base, and the tooth elements representing the rounded supportss on the side of the bridge. I really like the way that the rest of the detail comes into place on the Eye, with the capsules feeling the part. We have some advertising to be placed on Picadilly…er… Brickadilly Circus and some curved stickers for the London eye… I suspect these will be a challenge.running primarily from 2016-2020, we had a surprise appearance earlier this year from a model of the Singapore Skyline. There are a number of blackSNOT elements, and a collection of other poieces likely to be used in a way not previously conceived.

Not only does 60431 Space Explorer Rover come with two Minifigures, the rover is also designed alternatively seat two MINIDOLLS without modification. Together, these sets bring some great examples of microscale building, as well as some interesting ideas about geting ‘off the grid’ – particularly in London. Unfortunately, this iconic vehicle is a little out of scale with the rest of the build, but I don’t this it would be ablw to be completes at a smaller scale. Also missing is that old Ben is a part of Westminster Hall, which is not even depicted on the 2d backdrop and is a missed opportunity.Are these inexpensive “postcards” growing on you, or do you continue to prefer the higher realism (and higher cost) of the LEGO Archtiecture Skylines? Aimed primarily at a serious adult audience, we have seen a couple of more cheerful ‘postcard’ sets pop up in the creator range this year.

The Eye however, is 443’ tall but come is in only at 22 plates high, meaning a plate there is over 20’ thick! I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of the stickers for the London Eye, but overall, I appreciate the way those stickers add to the details, while not leaving printed elements to live on with a single purpose. These are fun, relatively inexpensive sets that provide a great guide for building in microscale , and the neat part usage associated with that, as well as image composition.

While all the postcard sets come in around 20-23 minutes of build time, the stickers on London delay that by a good deal if you decide to try and to get them aligned correctly. However, it is almost 10 years since I last went on a trip to Britain and France with my family, and as such, these sets piqued a certain level of interest.
