LEGO Creator Expert 10256 Taj Mahal coming this November

The LEGO Group has announced the release of Creator Expert 10256 Taj Mahal, that will be available to fans from November 27.

The much loved and highly desired LEGO Taj Mahal is getting a re-release. No sooner than Blocks magazine published the possibility as a rumour, the LEGO Group have confirmed the launch of Creator Expert 10256 Taj Mahal on November 27. The 5,923 set will be just one piece bigger than 10189 Taj Mahal, making it the second largest LEGO set ever released. Unlike other occasions when the LEGO Group revisit sets, it is very close to the original release and the product information highlights that it is a returning set.

The LEGO Group has provided images and a set description:
