An image has surfaced today of the latest LEGO Architecture 21039 set depicting Shanghai, China. From left to right, the set includes what appears to be Longhua Temple, The Bund, The Oriental Pearl Radio&TV Tower, The Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower.
The set will be available worldwide on January 1, 2018. However, if you’re lucky enough to be in Shanghai on December 2, 2017, make sure to visit the Shanghai Disneyland LEGO flagship store to get your copy of the set a month ahead of the rest of the world signed by the design lead for the Architecture series Jamie Berard!
Somebody knows what lego piece is used to make that twisted tower on the right end? Nice representation indeed, and for sure clever technique and use of available parts… Or a new one?
Looks like it’s made of 32249 Technic, Liftarm 3 x 3 L-Shape with Quarter Ellipse Thin.
I’m guessing they used 32249 Lego Technic, Liftarm 3 x 3 L-Shape with Quarter Ellipse Thin
Yes, looks like the curved, thin liftarm, probably uses hoses through the pieces on three points and an axle through the middle to hold it from untwisting. Quite clever.
