With the new Architecture Skyline Collection from LEGO, builders can create skylines of three world cities: New York City, Berlin, and Venice.

According to ArchDaily, each city kit will have the blocks for five buildings. New York’s, for instance, will have the Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, One World Trade Center, Chrysler Building, and Statue of Liberty. The buildings are roughly to-scale, too.

The kits come with all the necessary bricks and instruction manuals, which include historical factoids about the buildings and cities. The sets will be available January 1 and will sell for between $30 and $60.
