Lego Architecture Series

I have always loved Legos, from the moment I first played with the giant red "Duplos." (Remember the big red 2x6 block with the bright yellow wheels? You could build all kinds of crazy structures on that.)

Now aging generations of architecture lovers, who probably owe their early inspiration to these simple blocks, can rejoice and play again.

Lego and Brickstuctures, Inc. have announced a collaboration to create collectors sets of great architecture.

The packaging design and accessories that each set comes with is impressive.
