Really nice but a bit unstable
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: MattMussorgsky
I love this set. I have all the Architecture skylines and this one definitely stands out from the rest of the collection. The build was challenging enough, there's some really nice elements, and the end product is really eye-catching.
My only complaint of this set is that it is so unstable, I have to handle it incredibly carefully when moving it or dusting it. All the Architecture skylines are usually pretty solid, this one feels like it's about to snap. Burj Khalifa teeters and feels like it's about to fall off and the Jumeirah Hotel halves wobble in place. Overall a very nice set, I just don't get why they greenlit this set for release being so unstable.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from LEGOBy Jon, Customer Service, February 1, 2021
If your set ever seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. We hope this helps!

Great Cityscape
on December 28, 2020
Posted by: LordPizza
I think this cityscape does well at having fewer buildings that all make a statement. I think the use of studs for construction on the Burj Khalifa is a great method, the Jumeirah Emirates Towers were fun to build, and the Burj Al Arab is one of the coolest looking structures I've ever seen. The only thing I have changed in the set is on the front-right base of the Burj Khalifa to put the anti-stud in the back, so that only smooth surfaces show in the front. Overall, I think this set has some great buildings from Dubai, and it gives off a great feel to have on my shelf.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not comparable to other Arch sets
on February 18, 2020
Posted by: JD710
My 14 year old kid loves building design and structure and has built a lot of these sets, San Fran, Chicago, Empire State, Statue, Arch de, Capital Building, and countless other sets, but this one has left him as well as myself, disappointed.
We loved the idea of Dubai, but the buildings just look cheap after completion. Put this next to New York or San Fran when complete, it'll leave you disappointed. Burj looks generic, window is just a window so zero skill there, the Sail (Jumeraih) was the best build of the whole set.
There is so much more architecture/artwork that could have been done with this set...
Also, if possible, do a scale size Burj Jumeriah or Khalifa and Sears Tower so we can display next to our Empire State Building!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not impressed with the building details
on March 14, 2020
Posted by: Wbutts
As a fan of LEGO Architecture series and skylines, I have to say that I’m not impressed with several details and building aspects of this skyline set. In the order of my disappointment, below are my observation:
1. Burj al Arab’s exterior truss system is Balt portrayed. Understood the small in scale but the diagonals and angles are just not right scale and depiction of the truss system. On the sides, it looks particularly awful!
2. The back facade of the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel looks unfinished and the buildings are wabbly
3. Burj Khalifa’s building technique is a draw back from the previous two versions, I was expecting to improve upon previous as this is the third time appearing on LEGO Architecture set. Not mentioning the building is very instable.

Not as good as other in Architecture Series
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: Lmc07d
I have done a couple in the Architecture Series- Shanghai, Tokyo, and the Great Wall. This one was my least favorite because of the Burj Al Arab. I think the siding looks cheap and kept falling off. It also seems to not have as many features as the other skylines. Dubai is a really cool city, I don’t feel like this accurately showed it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
