Title: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: lynndr on June 10, 2009, 12:03:32 am The LEGO Group and Brickstructures, Inc. are going to produce and distribute Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® LEGO® Architecture Building Sets.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation announced that The LEGO Group is now the exclusive licensed manufacturer of Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® LEGO Architecture sets. The LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures, Inc. officially introduced the LEGO Architecture line in 2008. The line currently consists of six buildings – now including two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous and recognizable buildings, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and “Fallingwater.” With models developed in collaboration with architects, LEGO Architecture works to inspire future architects, engineers and designers as well as architecture fans around the world with the LEGO brick as a medium. Builders of all ages can now collect and construct their favorite worldwide architectural sites through these artistic replicas. Both exclusive Frank Lloyd Wright LEGO Architecture sets contain booklets that feature traditional building instructions along with exclusive archival material and photographs of each iconic building. The LEGO Group released the first of the LEGO Architecture Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® sets at the opening of the Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit: From Within Outward at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on May 15, 2009.

Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: jamesster on June 10, 2009, 09:19:54 pm I've known about this for a while thanks to pics on Brickshelf... The sets look pretty good! Better then... *cringes*... Power Miners! Oh how I hate that theme..
Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: Jade on June 11, 2009, 10:21:40 am You hate power miners?!
But, these sets DO look pretty cool... Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: jamesster on June 11, 2009, 11:04:10 am I can't stand Power Miners! The color scheme looks like it came from a pasta salad, the monsters are more cute then they are menicing (BTW, how do you do spell check on this thing?), the wheels remind me of Mega Bloks and have no grip at all, and it feels like a dumbed down version of Rock Raiders. Anyway, back on topic. The set on the left is the one that got my attention:

Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: Jade on June 11, 2009, 11:07:36 am Spellcheck was disabled because SMF was having issues with it... And the one on the left is my favorite too.
Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: lynndr on June 12, 2009, 08:03:17 pm I'd seen the original Lego Architecture sets (like jamesster posted) some time ago - but the Frank Lloyd Wright connection is new. The Fallingwater set is really neat. But then - I like Frank Lloyd Wright's work.

Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: Chicken Lord on July 23, 2009, 09:10:33 am That's weird.... I saw a 3-4 foot eiffel tower in a store with lego in it a couple of days ago.
Defintly bigger then those and defintly lego. Title: Re: Lego Architecture -- Source: Lynndr Post by: LordVaderRulez on July 23, 2009, 10:07:31 am That's a different sets. I'm pretty sure it's a creator set, but I know what set you are talking about.
