CopMike Posted March 7, 2014 The Lego House set seems to be out: Picture from BL. Picture from auction on eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CM4Sci Posted March 7, 2014 Cool. I won't get this, looks kind of boring. Minifigure is ok though. Thanks for the pics! -Sci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted March 7, 2014 Not exactly my cup of tea for a set, however it would probably be interesting to tour it in person. Is the minifigure representing a tour guide who takes you through the house? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tafkatb Posted March 7, 2014 Didn't I read something about a larger, more detailed version that will be widely available when construction on the real House is completed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomahawker Posted March 7, 2014 Auction on Ebay has been taken down. Looks like it was a "hot" item. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gnac Posted March 8, 2014 Auction on Ebay has been taken down. Looks like it was a "hot" item. It's still there - with 11 bids, and ten hours to go. CopMike's link seems to have been mangled by the post-o-matic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollermonkey Posted March 8, 2014 So glad it isn't in the Architecture line. $100+ for 250 pieces? Yikes. Gotta be the worst price per piece for a current set, ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Brickalot Posted March 8, 2014 I agree with CM4S, quite a boring set unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legogal Posted March 8, 2014 Actually I like the design. Micro scale is seriously cute. Will be interesting to see if there is an expert edition later on. The good news is that this one should be a lot easier to BL and build than Marina Bay Sands. (Unless the Easter Bunny drops a large egg filled with cash in my basket, this baby will have to wait because I spontaneously invested in my first Architecture Studio that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in our LEGO store this week. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eiker86 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I travelled to Billund to buy a couple for me and some for the people in my LUG =) And i regret giving one to my sister, because she don't get the LEGO building yet :/ Edited March 10, 2014 by eiker86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjchan Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) anyone from denmark willing to buy me a set? it's not available here in the Philippines... :( Edited March 14, 2014 by mjchan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shawn_low Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) RRP for this is in the region of US$30-35 and thanks to a combination of rarity (only available in Billund) and flippers, we'll have the pleasure of paying upwards of US$120 for a set. Hurrah. Anyone in Billund care to help pick up a set for me? I'll donate half the RRP to your charity of choice. :) Edited March 15, 2014 by shawn_low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tafkatb Posted March 18, 2014 Every part except for the minifig's torso is available to purchase through Bricks & Pieces. The only other exclusive elements are the "LEGO House" printed tile and Transparent 1x1 tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Historian Posted March 26, 2014 Well now you can buy the new LEGO House set... nestled in between the condiments aisle and laundry soap aisle, at a Billund grocery store (not so) near you! The sign in front of the display is the same as that outside the perimeter fence at the LEGO House construction site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legogal Posted March 26, 2014 Gary, Wish that store was called Kroger and a mile from my house because I stop by there almost daily. Thanks for posting the photo. At least we know that it is being sold to the "public" somewhere. In a way it is cool that they are trying to do something cool for the locals who are being inconvenienced by the building of this house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yatkuu Posted March 26, 2014 The model is not bad, there are some interesting ideas. I particularly like the studs up brick on top. Of course, just like any other architecture set it will mean a lot more to anyone who has the chance to actually visit the place. The creator set sound like a good compromise to make it available widely but they may as well just call it an architecture studio 2.0 as it will probably just be made of white bricks.

Vee Posted March 26, 2014 The set itself looks dull, boring, uninteresting, would not pay more than $20 for it, but the real buildings, once built, should look a nice piece of architecture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herky Posted March 26, 2014 let's hope that set in such abundance in a grocer will start to lower the prices I am seeing out there, not a must have by any means, can wait for the bigger, better one when it comes out when the Lego House is finished, but would be kind of cool to have it, agree with Vee though, would need to be a good price range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd settle even for a CVS store display! This store display image brings back memories of when I was visiting relatives in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s. I remember going grocery shopping there and LEGO was sold among the groceries there... not just sets, but spare parts pack boxes as well. I used to be amazed at how cool it was finding spare parts pack boxes back then... a true anomaly for those of us in the USA, where spare parts packs were only sold by LEGO S@H (although I was amazed to find one independent toy store in Somerville NJ that sold spare parts packs back in the mid 1980s). We in the USA are so used to finding LEGO in big box toy stores and department stores... now that independent toy stores are becoming dinosaurs. I'm adding a new chapter to my LEGO DVD/download collectors guide, on LEGO toy stores... to show AFOLs today how things have change for LEGO over the last 60 years... and how different (even today) LEGO is sold in different parts of the world. Here's a few sneak previews.... Göteburg Sweden department store 1955.... Odense Denmark 1960 toy store window... USA Detroit department store window 1962... ... and the 5 decades in toy stores and window displays since then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ondra Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I ask communication partner Lars Kærgaard (lars.kaergaard@LEGO.com) about possible second lego set in 2016 .I get this answer . Hi , I am sorry that I have not answered you until now! I cannot say if there is going to be a real Architecture model of the LEGO House when it opens in 2016. It is not decided yet. Best regards Lars Lets wait and we will see .I think there will be set, because visitors will likely buy some model of this house .

Legogal Posted October 12, 2014 The LEGO House is an abstract model and looks great built on the shelf. It will look even better with the new Billund Airport set. Thanks, LEGO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
