LEGO inside tour

[Mirandir]

I read about this on the bricklink forum: http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=eventdetailed

You get to meet LEGO's designers as well as a guided tour of the Billund factory and the set Archive (Where LEGO has saved a MISB version of "all" sets released) and much more. All for a "neat" cost of about $1,700 USD.

ONLY 1300 Euros, that's really cheap Well, maybe someone from here will make it and then tell us about new sets beeing produced

[Captain Zuloo]

Wow! Wouldn't that just be AWESOME!!! But not for me. Waaaay too pricy. Although I don't think they would disclose the new lines even if you did do that tour.

[Dennimator]

1.700 $?!?

I´d rather buy like 10 Café Corners...

Seriously, that price (and the euro one, too) is mad!

What interests me is the free gift that you get.

If I lived in Denmark I would have to consider this.

[Cwetqo]

Yeah, I would be nice if you could get MISB BSB (or even new UCS MF), hovewer, I'm afraid that the intention of costly price is just to scare off the crowds.

[Cardinal Brick]

It's something I'd like to do but it's rather expensive.

Maybe when I'm out of school and have a decent job...and live someplace closer to Denmark than Detroit is. LOL

Me too - except, I'd also have to have won the lottery.

And again the "Inside Tour" surfaces on EB.

I think a search on this would end up with several topics found.

In my opinion it's a rip-off.

I'd rather spend that much money on LEGO instead.

Being shown the factory and storage is pretty cool, but NOT worth that much money.

Next time, try the search engine and you might find something like this.

Then we would avoid getting multiple threads on one topic.

[metalandi]

actually, i don't really get why this does cost anything at all. I worked in a big factory myself for a long time (MAN trucks) and there were open door days once a year where everybody could go without paying anything. So why should TLG take money for it then? Doesn't make sense to me.

[CP5670]

There must be people out there willing to pay for this, or they wouldn't charge for it.

As others have said, I would take $1700 worth of Lego over this any day. I could buy several of those old MISB sets for myself off ebay, instead of just looking at the boxes.

I have seen this tour talked about before but I don't remember what the (not)free gift is. Anyone know?

[mania3]

I think if I could afford it, I'd go.
