4-D New York Cityscape Puzzle: This is the ultimate toy for kids who love architecture, history and/or puzzles. Turn back time and rebuild New York City from the ground up. Once you’ve built the base, you can use the 4-D time sequence poster to place each building in chronological order, just as the real cityscape was built up over time. Available from Mastermind Toys, the 4-D Cityscape series is available for other cities, including Toronto, Paris and Shanghai.
