That's why I don't predict a third skyline for 2018:

2016: 212 + 289 + 598 = 1099
2017: 361 + 444 + 468 = 1273
2018: 487 + 597 = 1084

The piece counts are equals, at least roughly speaking.

You seriously think there's some sort of piece count quota per line per year?

Yes.

Sorry and remove if it is confidential but: 1. it has changes between the catalog and the earlier confidential images (for example, the Mandalay Bay Hotel is now yellow and not brown, the whole skyline is more detailed and more correct to the description finded by me), 2. this shop has confidential images of some other sets (10401-10405, 21039) what are already revealed officially, confidential and official images look the same so I think they're not confidential but they marked such. C'mon; here are images of 21038 Las Vegas and 21039 Shanghai.

21039 Shanghai is now available at Shanghai LEGO Store. And if you will go there, there will be an extra thing: Jamie Berard will sign your bought set.

Y'know, I saw those a couple days back. I'm not telling you what to do, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if those links were removed. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads-up; looking forward to finding that set!

"Jamie Berard is now a Creative Lead for both the Architecture and Creator Expert themes, and has worked on recent Modular buildings such as the Parisian Restaurant, Brick Bank, and Assembly Square.  We ask him about his own favourite sets, why the Marina Sands set was so restricted in its release, if South America will feature in an upcoming Architecture set, and more."

Will there be a South American Architecture set soon?

Looking closely, they're confidential but not preliminary images!

Did you see the new catalog for 2018? It doesn't include 21038 Las Vegas, only 21039 Shanghai... I feel that Las Vegas is deleted...

Or maybe it doesn't release until later in the year, and the catalog just has what's coming out in January?

I recall that there has been some occasions where we would find out about an Architecture set, assume it releases one time, but instead release another.

[Lucarex]

If Vegas is deleted, or delayed, is it possibly related to the Mandalay Bay Hotel massacre? Too soon afterwards.

Yeah... I have a feeling they decided to delay that until the second quarter.

According to one Dutch shop Las Vegas is coming September.

21038 Las Vegas (126.58 EUR) and 21039 Shanghai (189.10 EUR) are now available! At least they can be putted into the cart. But I think the fact that they are available now and will be delivered December 22, 2017 is fake because they don't have non-confidential images for the sets while Shanghai has three because it was released on shop.lego.com

Considering that post is from June, I don't know how much it explains. I didn't even see the Jamie Berard one. But then again I didn't look that hard.

[Brick Lover]

"The release of this set has been postponed or cancelled following the recent incident in one of the buildings featured in it." (21038)

According to Brickset

[Herky]

Any more word on what might be the 10th anniversary set?  I also believe with these two sets, Lego is up to 41 sets counting both Sears/Willis Tower and the all purpose Studio set.  I never got the Willis Tower set but wish I had now...I am not sure I consider the Studio set as part of this line so to speak since it is not really a building.  I would guess the hardest one to get is Marina Bay Sands?

Merry Christmas all

[Brick Lover]

According to Hungarian toy shop Kockashop, 21038 Las Vegas will be revealed on the 1st of June in 2018.

[Brick Lover]

Only 2 sets for 2018? It's a lame year...

Especially for the 10th anniversary ... oh no, there'll be a 10th anniversary set somewhen.

I was recently informed that Las Vegas 21038 has been cancelled due to the mass shooting that occurred in October of 2017. Hopefully my source isn't correct but I can totally see Lego pulling this set now for PR concerns.
