LEGO Architecture 21018 Le siège des Nations Unies

Lego did a very great job with this one. The building was really fun, and it looks great with my Zorian Themed sets I built. And its even to scale. (Which was not intentional,) the detail on the smaller off buildings is very good, and the tower is great looking. And, I looked, its sized right with the Eiffel Tower, and that's grand! (I have both.) My only problem is the fact that its white, not grey. The real building looks more grey and not white, but some parts on this that are grey, should be white. But over all, its a really great set, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good-sized Architecture set and likes tall buildings.

I normally hesitate much before buying anything, but with this Lego set, I knew at once I wanted to buy it. The model is very accurate, and my father, who has been there many times, recognized it before even the first building was finished. The information booklet is very interesting, with details about the buildings, the architect and the Lego model. The model is also very fun to build, with lots of different building techniques like bricks turned upside down and sideways. It is also very beautiful to look at.

This is a great product. I purchased it as a gift for my partner and we chose to build it during the January Blizzard of 2015 that blanketed the Boston Metro Area. We are going to display it and see about purchasing another from the Architecture Series!

I liked how they used the specific flat tiles for the slanting walls, and the specific elements for the Secretariat Building. The flagpoles aren't perfect, I will say, but the way they portrayed the plaza and the fountain itself is very unique. It took me a couple hours to build it, but that includes the distractions around me.

This is one of my favorite entries in the Architecture line. There's a nice variety in each of the subsections that it doesn't end up feeling repetitive, although of course the main building itself has a fair number of the same elements. The only real complaint I would have is a little ridiculous, in that I'm not sure I like the white levers being used for flagpoles around the exterior. There's probably no better way to do it at the micro scale like this, but inevitably one of them seems to tilt a little bit and drive me nuts until I get up and go fix it. Then again, maybe that's MY problem, not LEGO's. Definitely a recommended set!
