The LEGO Architecture theme has had an extremely quiet 2023 with currently no sets releasing but that seems to soon be changing. This is because the previously leaked 21060 Himeji Castle has been officially revealed as the first and only LEGO Architecture set releasing this year. However, there's still over a month until we'll get our hands on the $159.99 set as it releases on 1st August 2023.
The set itself though is the Japanese hilltop castle complex located in the vibrant city of Himeji in brick-built LEGO form. The castle itself is located on some large mountains which are mainly brown to give the mainly black and white Japanese castle some more colour. There's also a small, simplified interior which can be found by lifting off the top of the main building.
There's some more colour in the scenery in front of the mountain and the Himeji Castle. Here there are a couple of brick-built trees including a couple of cherry blossom tree which stands out against the rest of the set. There are also other smaller buildings which perfectly match the castle's architecture. All of these 2,125 pieces which will retail for $159.99 are sat on top of a black base, giving the set that lovely 18+ style finish.
