Nice!
Why aren’t Lego selling them directly though, through S@H? This is something that will come later, right?

22 bucks for 70 pieces…. but this is the ultimate of limited editions. guess I must get em

Not only 70 pieces for $22… but for ages 10 ?
Hard to believe such a small model is so challenging.

I hope they make a Brooklyn Bridge in this series.

I saw the John Hancock observatory set when I was there a couple of months ago. and I thought; ” why would I pay $20 to have something I could build with my own pieces”

That was my first thought, too. Why not go fill a bucket (and then some) by the pick-a-brick wall in your local LEGO® store for less than $20 or order online? Maybe build 2 John Hancock Centers for less, hehe…

I order these sets yesterday, they arrived today by UPS. They came from Chicago, I live in Cincinnati. Wish Lego shipped that fast. Maybe they could if they did not use DHL.
The back of box includes facts and pictures of the real building. The instruction book also includes architecture, engineering and construction information and facts about the real building. Also information about the artist.
I’ll takes some pictures of the box and instruction book and post them up on Flicker.
The sets are not numbered. Being that they are 1st editions, I would think they would number them.
