Dubai

"Dubai is a visually bold Architecture skyline anchored by a dramatic Burj Khalifa, but a BrickScore of 74.3 reflects a real mixed verdict: the stability issues and exposed brick backs are genuine flaws that Architecture purists will notice, even as the majority of its 3,300-plus owners give it high marks for shelf impact."

The LEGO Architecture Dubai skyline earned a BrickScore of 74.3 and lands in the Mixed Reviews tier, with reviewers split between admiring its eye-catching Burj Khalifa centerpiece and legitimate concerns about structural stability and value per piece. The set stands out within the Architecture Skylines line for the drama of its buildings, but the Jumeirah Emirates Towers' exposed backs and the Burj Khalifa's tendency to wobble undercut an otherwise appealing display piece. Owner ratings are more enthusiastic than the expert score implies: 3,310 ratings average 4.79 out of 5, though the LEGO.com value-for-money signal at 3.61 out of 5 confirms the value concern is real.

Where they split: Owner ratings (4.79 stars, 83% recommend) are noticeably warmer than the expert BrickScore of 68.0 suggests. Casual buyers lean positive on the finished look; Architecture-focused reviewers are more critical of the structural inaccuracies and fragility. One review specifically criticized the Burj Al Arab truss geometry while the broader population simply called it beautiful.
