21000- Sears Tower

I can't remember exactly when I got this set, but it was purchased at the top of the Sears Tower.  I'm happy that I got it before the name change.  It was my first building from the Architecture series, and the first Lego model set I had ever really seen.  I'd like a couple more buildings to put in my Lego Small World collection, but I think that even the cheapest ones are overpriced.  When I'm online deciding on which sets to buy, a $20 City or licensed set is always going to look better and take precedence over a $20 small Architecture set.  Most of the sets should be a little bigger with a little more detail for the same price, but that's just one girl's opinion.

Hello Lego me!  :)

That being said, I think it is a good set and resembles the actual building.  The pieces and build of this set are simple, simple, simple, but not too much can be done with standard skyscrapers on this scale.  I like that it came with a name sticker to place on the base of the building.  It is quite small (see picture for size) but that makes it great for office or home display.
