A bridge too far?
on January 5, 2019
Posted by: Paris
Lego has captured the skyline of San Francisco really well in this model - the steep street and cable cars, Alcatraz and the Trans-america pyramid building are especially good. I'm not so sure about the Golden Gate bridge though; I understand the designer has tried to present a 3 dimensional view of the bridge two dimensionally by using some forced perspective, and it works to a degree from an angle (but obviously not face on when it looks odd). I guess had the bridge been a conventional design (like Tower bridge in the London skyline) the model have been even longer (to be realistic), but then it would have been out of kilter with other sets in the skyline series. Nonetheless, a very aesthetic looking model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Visually Appealing

Overall a very enjoyable build. In my opinion, it is the best looking Skyline set as the design actually resembles a city, as opposed to a collection of separate buildings spaced apart from one another.

a good model to build and looks great. Nice detail of my favorite city to visit.
I think using numbered bags for parts and number sections in instructions makes for a better build. Glad to see this function. Hope all future architecture sets this way.

Very impressive and captured beauty of SF

It’s a quick and easy build, just like the other architecture sets. The end result is stunning for the city. I think the designer did as good of a job as he/she can for the Golden Gate Bridge considering the limited space and pieces. With that said, I hated the fact the instruction manual has black background. With the reflection of the light above, it was a nightmare to follow the instruction with black, brown and dark green pieces. There is a reason why all the books use white background and black letters!
One design criticism: the red hook between two bridge towers are not centered. That bothers me quite bit! It is a easy fix. Not sure if it is by design or was over looked.

Thanks for your review.
We're sorry to hear that you found the instructions difficult to read; we'll make sure your feedback gets to the right team.
As for that clip, it is meant to be off-center. That's because we tried our hands at a bit of forced perspective in this set. By having one side of the bridge smaller and the connection off-center, it gives a feel of space and depth.

I love lego architecture

The Lego Architecture line does not disappoint in any way, this is my 11th set in the Line and I always find myself buying more, this set does what every other Lego Architecture skyline does, it perfectly represents landmarks and historical sites from a certain city and makes them look good next to each other. Just hinting Lego, I would love to see a set of the Milwaukee Art Museum.
