I'm sure that's a famous building in Germany, or maybe even Europe, but it's not going to move the needle over here. Another big tan building is not going to go over well. There are so many amazing buildings out there to create, this is not one of them. I want to see Fenway Park, Wrigley Park or Old Yankee stadium be a landmark set. Even Wembly Stadium would be nice. Regarding non-sport landmarks, The Colusium (well, was used for sports), St. Peter's Square, Philly's Independence Hall, Mont Saint-Nichel (would be a great build), Leaning Tower of Pisa, Saint Basil's Cathedral, Arc de Triumph, Petra, Portion of Great Wall of China, Great Pyramids and many more to think of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pyramids please. Just don't. Stupid idea. Forget it. They don't exist, never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Seriously the building mostly known for its relationship with the Nazi's. If this was released, I predict that it will be swiftly recalled from the shelves once the Nazi / Third Reich complaints start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is the Reichstag really such a well known building outside of Germany? It would make more sense if they went for the Brandenburg gate or something, just saying. One thing is for sure, they are never going to choose our national monument for a Creator set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro23 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 This was also my first thought, why not Brandenburg Gate... But regarding Atomium, why should this one not be chosen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Looking at the release calendar for Landmark Buildings (taken from Brickset): 10181 - Eiffel Tower --> 2007 10189 - Taj Mahal --> 2008 10214 - Tower Bridge --> 2010 10234 - SOH --> 2013 10253 - Big Ben --> 2016 it seems highly unlikely to me that we'd get a new Landmark Building this year, in 2017. While the first two buildings were released one year apart, the last three buildings were released three years apart. So if LEGO follows the same schedule, we should only be expecting a new Landmark Building in 2019... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego doesn't do Chromed parts anymore IIRC. Besides, it's not very suitable for Lego because of the spheres. It wouldn't be a very interesting build. Although maybe they could make something with those Star Wars planet dome parts. Dip them in chrome, connect with some technic beams, et voila: Lego Atomium.

lukiepete Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'd really like them to do something more modern (crazy?), like the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or the EMP in Seattle. Chances of this are, of course, highly unlikely... but one can dream. 13 hours ago, inversion said: No pyramids please. Just don't. Stupid idea. Forget it. They don't exist, never did.

It's the current home of the German parliament and Lego already has got some rights safed to cover it as it is already a part of the Berlin Landmark architecture set so it's possible. If they already paid for the rights they can make it bigger! That's the same reason why the Belgium Atomium will neeeeeevvverrr be a Lego Set. That building and even every picture of it is a legal rights trap. Which reminds me of: Did you aquire the rights to post that pic of the Atomium on this Forum? Did you know that you are not even legally allowed to take a selfie in front of it??....wow ...that's very off topic..but unfortunately true...

fantomas007 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I hope it is from fake news. This building is very simple and unknown, and definitely not a legendary building such as Pyramids, Coloseum, and other famous buildings not created in lego form. I just agree that its time for German building - big country, big market, and it is strange that England has 2 lego landmarks and Germany no one. For me ist the number one German buiding Neuschweinstein castle - but unfortunately it is similar to Disney castle. Its funny that Germany has not a typical building (as Paris with Eifel town, NYC with Liberty statue, etc). And many great landmarks are churches. Then I would rather choose something from new 7 wonders - Coloseum or Chinese Wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos999 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The most well known building in the world. It will come soon i think.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
