Ep. 215 - LEGO Didn’t Make a Church for 66 Years…Then THIS Happened

LEGO went more than six decades without releasing a standalone church set. Then came Notre-Dame de Paris.

In BrickCast Episode 215, I’m taking a detailed look at LEGO Architecture 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris — a 4,383-piece recreation of one of the most famous buildings in the world. At $230, this set delivers an incredible price-per-piece, zero stickers, a unique chronological building experience, and one of the most impressive Architecture displays LEGO has produced.

We’ll talk about the real cathedral’s nearly 900-year history, the devastating 2019 fire and restoration, LEGO’s surprisingly long history with church sets, and why Notre-Dame may have helped open the door for something MUCH bigger coming later this year. And yes... we need to talk about the upcoming 12,060-piece Sagrada Família. How does Notre-Dame stack up against what will become the largest LEGO set ever released by piece count?

Finally, I’ll break Notre-Dame down in my four review categories — Playability, Displayability, Build Experience, and Value — before giving it my final score. Is LEGO Notre-Dame de Paris worth adding to your collection before it disappears?
