Not a technic set, although it has a huge amount of technic elements. The best set ever is 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer

Same as you DrJB, it was the 8461 Williams F1 Racer in 2003. But the set which made me fall in love with Lego again is the second one I bought after coming out of the dark age: the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer. Definitely the best set ever

> I have a huge project coming up that I would like to unveil at my 100-YouTube subscribers mark. Can anybody guess what I am building? A 100-YouTube subscribers making machine ?

+1 +1 +1 ;-)

Anyone knows if the piece count indicated by Brickpedia (2049) is reliable? This set seems to have so much less pieces than for example 8421, 8285 or 8258, which have less than 1900 pieces.

Anyone knows how many parts the 8110 will contain ? At least approximately

At last, TLG has put the instruction booklets in an envelope. Why on hell did they wait that long to take this simple precaution !

Hope this graph helps. As we can except, Star Wars sets are the most expensive. Grand Carousel is an exception because it contains a motor. The surprise comes from the Statue of Liberty which is rather expensive in its category. Maybe because it was the first set of this type. This is based upon prices indicated by Peeron.

I guess you'll see that the price is not directly linked to the number of parts. Licensing and type of parts are to be taken into account.

Thanks ! Data gathered from Peeron of course : http://peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/setsearch?PcsS=2500

Here is a graphic that shows the Lego sets with more than 2500 parts. First, we can notice that all these sets were released in the past 10 years, and that obviously there is a ride towards the biggest.

Thank you so much !

Could you please take a highres photo of the set inventory on the box side ?

Considered that the Taj Mahal is €300, €219.99 is a good deal. I was so angry not long ago, when I saw they sell the Motorized Excavator at €195.

You must be true. As far as I know, the previous record was the Statue of Liberty with 504 sandgreen Brick 2 x 2 Corner. http://peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/inv/sets/3450-1?PagerSortDir=r&PagerSortCol=Qty My tan cheese number estimate was 580 : On each tower corner column : Tower base : 30 2nd floor : 18 3rd floor : 18 4th floor : 6 Multiply this by 4 columns / tower, and add 2 on the counterforts, makes 290. Finally multiply by 2 towers, makes 580.
