LEGO Architecture 21046 Empire State Building
Elevate your LEGO® building skills to a higher level with this LEGO Architecture 21046 Empire State Building set. Located at the heart of New York City, the Empire State Building towers above the surrounding skyscrapers. Construction of the building began on March 17, 1930 and just one year and 45 days later, on May 1, 1931 it was opened for business. The height of the structure was increased in 1950 with the addition of the iconic antenna tower. At 21” (55cm), the tallest LEGO Architecture model to date (July 2019), this highly detailed, collectible replica accurately recreates the symmetrical lines of the building’s 4 curtain wall facades and art deco antenna tower. The tiled baseplate depicts Fifth Avenue and surrounding roads complete with yellow cabs, and the model is finished with a decorative nameplate. This 360°-displayable model delivers an interesting and rewarding building experience and makes a truly iconic centerpiece for the home and office. It has been developed for all with an interest in travel, architectural culture, history and design.
- This set includes over 1,750 pieces.
- Measures over 21” (55cm) high, 7” (20cm) wide and 4” (12cm) deep.
The default box condition is “Minimal Shelf-Wear” unless there is a drop down option/menu. Here at Brickollector we want you to make an informed purchase so we have developed our own box condition grading system below. This way you can have an idea (with our best intentions) of what to expect when you receive your LEGO from us. We will pack your order to the best of our ability but occasionally LEGO boxes can get damaged from courier services.
Sometimes boxes may have price sticker or security sticker on them. They are NOT treated as "damaged" at Brickollector. We do not remove these in fear of causing damage to the box. Please note that we are not brave enough to classify boxes as perfect (even if we think they are) so we will only go as far as 9.5/10. If you are a box collector and want us to send you close up photos of the box we may be able to accommodate such requests on a case by case basis.
If seals have been broken due to Customs inspection we will describe the box condition as such. We also reduce the prices accordingly based on how much damage the box has sustained.
| Box Condition | Rating Out Of 10 | Description |
| Minimal Shelf-Wear | 9 to 9.5 | Excellent box condition with minimal (if any) scratches/creases/ worn corners. |
| Minor Shelf-Wear | 7 to 8 | Overall very good box condition with some minor imperfections such as minor scratches/creases/ punctures/worn or squashed corners. May NOT be suitable for box collectors. |
| Moderate Shelf-Wear | 5 to 6 | Average box condition with moderate damage to some parts of the box. There may be moderate scratches/ creases/punctures/worn or squashed corners. NOT for box collectors. |
| Heavy Box Damage | 0 to 4 | Badly damaged box. Box may have water damage, or ripped open in some parts. However, inner bags will still be sealed and contents will be complete. Ideal for that brand new building experience without the brand new price tag (and throw that box away afterwards guilt-free). |
