What reviewers are saying

"if you had bought this set from Lego back when it first came out you actually would have gotten this fell Beast set completely for free it's a great combo to go with Beador so I love that"

MandRproductions

"This is another excellent addition to the Skyline series."

Brickset Reviews

"What's built on the dining room table stays on the dining room table….at least, until dinner."

The Brothers Brick

"From a distance, it is definitely recognizable thanks to a good choice of landmarks, and I think that up close, it continues to be fairly charming."

Ecosystem

21026 Venice — Can be combined with Las Vegas set to make larger display

21028 New York City — Can be combined with Las Vegas set to make larger display

21039 Shanghai — I do feel there are stronger entries in the series like 21039 Shanghai, but Las Vegas has enough character for me to make a solid recommendation.

21039 Shanghai — Expected to be in the same range as Shanghai (597 pieces for $59.99)
