LEGO Architecture Skylines: Dubai 21052 Building Kit, Collectible Architecture Building Set for Adults (740 Pieces)

I lived in Dubai for several years and was sent this as a gift. Many of the pieces were missing, so it was not possible to complete. Sad! I raised three boys and now have grandsons, so Lego was a mainstay of my life. No more!

I have been to Dubai, so this skyline Lego puzzle was a great gift. I have it on my desk at work as a wonderful conversation piece. No missing pieces. Less than 10 excess pieces.

It is a amazing Lego get it

Great product, but the box was a little crushed when it arrived. Probably not Amazon’s fault. No other complaints.

My son will love it when he receives it for Christmas.

Very beautiful

It was fun to build with the kids, not too hard and the finished build looks very nice.

Looking great! Look awesome on my computer desk!

I had forgotten how much I loved the skyscrapers of Dubai until I put this set together. It’s an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys high-rise architecture or urban design, or who does business in Dubai. I found it very easy to assemble in just a couple of hours. The parts of the different buildings were in separate bags, and the instruction booklet was very clear. Just to see how it worked, I downloaded the instructions onto my phone using the QR code, but the printed booklet turned out to be simpler to use. My only complaints about the set are related to the booklet, though, as it doesn’t lay flat when opened, due to its binding, and that some of the instructions were a bit difficult to see, when darker-colored LEGO pieces were shown against the book’s black background. Those were minor distractions, though. Building the city was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved putting pieces together in ways I had never done on any other LEGO set before to replicate the unique shapes of the different landmark buildings. I won’t spoil the mystery too much, but I especially love how the Burj Al Arab hotel turned out. Assembling the complex base and tall spire of the Burj Khalifa was the most difficult and repetitive part of the set. You do have to pay very close attention to the number of layers you’ve assembled, but the result looks fantastic, and it turns out to be much sturdier than I was expecting, given how skinny it is. Once completed, it can easily be picked up and moved around without having to worry too much that it will topple. It’s an amazingly cool display piece, of the sort that would look genuinely nice and interesting in almost any context. Pairs well with bookshelves, office desks, miniature train sets, and kids’ toy collections. One of my favorite LEGO sets of all time.

I’m not into legos but my kids are. I thought I would try my hand at this set. It was a lot of fun and I have a neat little conversation starter in my office.
