LegoDW Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Just found out from my local Lego store set 40305 is basically only offered at the higher end Lego locations in the USA. This is disappointing as really don't want to travel thru several states to get this set. Probable with costs of gas and such would be more costs effective to get off eBay if I really wanted it. Anyways this kind of makes me a bit blue and Lego (for me anyways) is supposed to be a fun hobby. I am going to hold off buying anything new from TLG for a bit, been more interested in used sets lately anyways. Quote
deraven Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 It does look like a limited distribution set, but available from Shop @ Home in some countries which seems a little odd. Regardless, it's available for $36 to $40 on Bricklink. Probably the way to go (and definitely cheaper and easier than a road trip to get it!). Quote
LegoDW Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 So thinking. For $40, do you think I could make something better than trying to copy the "Lego Store" set? At average of $0.15 per piece that around 267 pieces. Don't think I could do it. The only way I see possible is purchasing a used building set that is incomplete (cheap) and modifying it. Still for less than $40 would be difficult. Quote
LegoDW Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Just a follow up. I was able to pick up this set at a Lego Store this Spring in Disneyland. Then this Summer they offered in at my local Lego store. I have mixed feeling as I am glad I was able to get it, but kinda disappointed that to go thru so many hoops. As far as modifying the set, I increased the depth and sales floor. Like it much better. For me Lego is a fun hobby. When its not fun I go do something else for a bit. Quote
