Description

Nearly three thousand pieces

With 2,792 pieces Skyline is one of the bigger sets of its year. This is more than a weekend job: anyone who wants to build the model properly will need several evenings and some patience. In return there are only 82 different part types, so each element appears about 34 times on average. That points to many identical bricks of the kind used for buildings and facades rather than a handful of intricate special parts. There are no minifigures in the box.

Tan, green and a deep blue

The colour list is unusual: tan, trans-dark blue, green and black lead the field. The trans-dark blue stands out in particular. It suits glazed surfaces such as those on tall buildings, though we claim nothing about the finished look beyond what the name Skyline suggests. Tan probably forms the walls, with green and black adding accents. Overall it is a muted, urban mix of colours that looks good on display and works well when combined with other sets.

A box of building material

The Factory theme was meant for keen builders: plenty of bricks and few restrictions. With so many pieces, Skyline fits that role well. For collectors it is above all a stock of parts from which to make your own buildings, towers or whole streets. Even if you do not plan to rebuild the original, you get a large quantity of bricks in a handful of colours that can be joined into city scenes of your own.

Parts list and reuse

The complete parts list on this page shows every part type with its colour and quantity. That helps when you are checking a second-hand set and want to know whether everything is there. If you own the set or matching bricks, the “What can I build?” tool will take you further by showing which other models can be rebuilt from them. With nearly 2,800 pieces, the choice there is often surprisingly wide.
