TheDarkness Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 So it is an all white kit with the aim of teaching people advanced techniques in Lego architecture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 So it is an all white kit with the aim of teaching people advanced techniques in Lego architecture?That's what it looks like to me. Basically a 'blueprint' set for building your own Architecture style sets I'd say. It could be an interesting parts package if all I wanted so happened to be white pieces.

comicblast Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This actually sounds really cool!! I wish they had these in more than one color. You know... 50 shades of gray and red and blue and stuff! Should we expect this to be around $90-$100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Interesting concept, just not for me. I have very little creativity for this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Gonna predict $149.99. Just watch. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Also, I hope I am wrong on the price. My dad is an architect, and I don't think I can avoid buying this for his next visit with a 5 year old budding builder grandson in the house.

I bet everyone will be having tons of fun building different structures while also learning about architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days? Ha, I hope it is longer than that. If that was the case it would put The Zombies to shame pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm confused, is the set available only on those 3 days?I think it will only be initially and for this event, but afterwards I would hope to see it pop up on Shop-at-Home.

comicblast Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 People over at Brickset are saying that the 21050 will be available at other retailers, but B&****** is just getting it first. http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/11247/architecture-studio-21050-anyone-know-anything Here's to hope!

kerrmando Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hmm, how to get one of these in the first three days without being at the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's possible you just need to be at a Barnes & Noble. When I checked the local Chicago calendar, here's what it came up with: http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/event/4420600 While it doesn't provide specifics, this "special event" sounds like they will be introducing Lego Architecture studio. I'll call tomorrow to see exactly what they're introducing (assuming the clerk answering the phone knows anything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
