    Anyone know where the best place to buy these sets? So far it seems to be the Art & Hobby shop. They don't seem to be available in Smyths.

    Looking for the New York set in particualr.

    Lego's own site? Amazon?

    Art & Hobby tend to be quite expensive for lego in general. Eason's often have the architecture sets too, but again, they're not usually cheap.

    My Architecture city skyline San Francisco and Paris sets arrived from LEGO today. Thrilled with getting them and will enjoy building them over the weekend. :):D

    OP - your best bet is to buy online. These sets have very patchy availability in the shops.

    If any are retired, try searching for complete or new sets on Bricklink.

    Amazon.de seems to be generally the cheapest. You will have to factor in €8 or so postage so usually better value if buying a few items.

    Lets you compare prices across amazon sites.
