LEGO will soon be releasing San Francisco and Paris editions of its popular architecture line, which allows fans to replicate city skylines and world landmarks. Come early 2019, enthusiasts will be able to capture both the Fog City's diverse architecture and the City of Light's iconic works.
The San Francisco set brings together obvious city markers, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the Painted Ladies made famous by the '90s sitcom "Full House." But, the collection also features some surprising additions, namely the inclusion of the city's newest and tallest building, the Salesforce Tower.
The Paris collection similarly brings together a range of distinguishing architecture, featuring historic works such as the Arc de Triumph, the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, and of course, the Eiffel Tower. Decorative elements, such as lawn and trees areas, further round off the detailed replica.
The company's popular sub-brand Lego Architecture has spent the past decade celebrating the past, present, and future of buildings through lego bricks. Following their popular landmark and architect series—which respectively released sets of the Empire State Building and the Willis Tower; the Guggenheim Museum and the Farnsworth House—the company began the skyline series in 2016. Previous editions have included cities such as Venice, Berlin and Chicago.

Will look great next to my Chicago skyline and Guggenheim and flatiron buildings... and multiple castles and pirate ships.
That Eiffel Tower looks horrendous though.
Lego somehow managed to make Salesforce look even more like a penis.
