And do not forget about the box, it a small set already have oversized boxes, imagine what a skycraper set would have as a box in terms of size.Īnd lastly, I think the pictures that are provided do not make a good comparison. If LEGO would make these skyscapers, it would have a high piece count and this will drive up the price by quite a bit. If you examine all of the CITY or town models in the past years, none of them can be considered quite as skyscapers, and the prices weren't sky-high either. Unless there is alot of action/playability involved, the target audience (children) would not want to buy them.Ģ) The High Price. But I think the reason why LEGO would not make them is that:ġ) The low appeal and as it can be seen from some of the replies in this thread that many people think of it as just a block of transparent LEGO pieces. I would definately love to see skyscrapers. Is it because the sets would be too expensive ? Is it because (as alex mentioned) that type of architecture doesn't encompass all the cultures that it is marketing to ? So i ask, why doesn't LEGO make skyscraper sets ? strange hu ? but i don't really care for transportation or police station or hospital architecture. but what i do see is an interest in modern architecture and city planning/layout. Its funny, cause when i look at my other interests in life (outside of LEGO), and i don't see any pirates, islanders, cowboys or indians (there is a little ancient egyptian interest). i know a lot of people have done it, but i in the past, i've always stuck to what i liked as a kid, history inspired themes.īelieve it or not, i was actually re-inspired by the Wayne Manor MOC in the haunted houses thread. I've recently become fascinated with the idea of building skyscrapers from LEGOs. It's a good way to build skyscrapers Section8, but I don't like those building so much (maybe because they are not in the european culture.)
