21061 is showing a June 1 release date on brickcatch.com

Maybe I missed it, there is a new postcard?

Well, it is December 12 and no rumors and no confirmations of anything new for 2024 in Architecture. Used to be we would get 2 skylines on January 1, now we get nothing. One large set in Himeji was all in 2023. Hey Lego, did you forget about us?

I like the restaurant but I am more excited for the dragon, think I might be the only one.

oh me too, but I think since it falls under religion then TLG won't touch it

well I only visited it once, but that was enough, usually just pass through it...it looks nothing like it did originally and it's incredibly smaller than I thought it would be. I edited my reply...see above. Had no idea we had a LUG here.

You must live in the Lou like me...South County...and then I looked at your post again and read that you do. So do you pop into the Minifig store? Always fun to see what they have in Kirkwood. DId not know there was a LUG here. I have slowed down a lot on my collecting due to space to display issues. I know the Arch will be hard to do, but one can hope. I would settle for a mini set that somewhat resembles it. Train stations work for me, one that might be fun to see is also the Hall of Justice building in Cincinnati I think is where it is...I know it's not called Hall of Justice but do not recall the actual name. KC's Union Station isn't bad.

Chinese New Year is a bit later this year, in February so the sets might get released a bit later as well. As far as running out of ideas, I can see that. I don't think they are going to do some of the things that normally take place during that time, like going to the Buddhist temples and such.

Having been to and through Times Square several times, I have to say please dear TLG NO...Times Square is the most boring touristy place in NYC. My wishes...Taipei 101, the Arch in St Louis, Angkor Wat is a great one, can we get an onion dome church from Russia? the Shard, Chicago's Loop Office Tower or Marina Apartments, Petronas Towers...there are lots of FLW too and I really don't think they are truly tied to Atom, but I could be wrong. Getting one set only in 2023 sucks.

Very interesting the difference in the tan slopes...you can see it and I wonder if others will see the same in their sets.

I think what is missing now is 21059. Interesting that we get the Castle set before they announce the 21059 set. Of course this is not the first time they have skipped numbers in the theme, several sets that were going to be released never were.

If you go to the St Louis Science Center you will find a beautiful Lego rendition of the Arch. Not sure how many pieces it is, but if they put that set out I would get it in a heartbeat. Done by Tucker of course. I am sure they could scale it down. I have an AFOL friend who started it and hated the repetitive nature of it, so he shipped it to me and I spent the last week putting it together. Here is my issue, just like most tall buildings that TLG has done of this type is that it wobbles on the 4 base legs. I need to go to a Lego store to see how they did theirs but I also want to see if theirs wobbles. I have been doing Lego since the 1970's so I am not a novice and I know I followed the directions to a T. I am going to wait a month and redo the 4 legs I think but it does stand near 5 feet tall, not sure if my math is correct but a meter and a half? It's a lot of dark grey pieces and a LOT of repetition. If someone gave me 3 sets to choose from, Eiffel Tower, TItanic or the latest HP train, I would choose the Tower last.

Was chatting with a friend about this line. Seems we are getting fewer and far between anymore. I am expecting 2 skylines in January...well hoping I guess. It would be nice to get back to buildings though vs skylines. Anyone heard anything?

I do like that one better, it just looks nice IMO. I may have to do this when I get mine.

I saw Deep Shen post about this. I get the accuracy thing, but I figure I am just going to get the set and display it. I have never been there and likely never will get there, too many other places I want to go first, but while it bugs me a little, I am going to go with "it's just a toy" approach here.
