Miss Kyle Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Oooh, I'd love to have this one. I think some more surroundings would have made it even better, after all they are what makes the building special. Still, a great set. I remember my sister's boyfriend calling me on my mobile at work (I work in a bookshop, so not the best place to pick up private calls :D) being super-excited and telling that he had just bought it.

Plastic Nurak Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Now I own this set. My spare parts consist in those you showed, but also in a 1x1 tan plate . I'm sure I was careful when I builded the model and I did'nt make mistakes... Mah! Quote
Widdi Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Just got me this nice set at Legoland Guenzburg today. After the first time, I've read the Instructions I wanted this. And when built, altough not 100% accurate colour-wise, it's an Eyecatcher. And at 81€ (thanks to my Merlin year pass to Legoland, which saves me 10 percent of the hefty 90€ price. But when taken the 10 Percent off, which I'm getting with my Merlin year Pass at LEgoland Guenzburg, it's at 81€ and in Check at 10ct./piece. And assembled this looks just great. Ok it's lacking playability, but heck! it's a display piece. mFg Widdi Edited June 25, 2011 by Widdi Quote
fanohockey Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I'm thinking of buying the John Hancock centre signed by the same person for $85. Would you say that this is a good deal. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks Quote
talos Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I'm thinking of buying the John Hancock centre signed by the same person for $85. Would you say that this is a good deal. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks The original price was $20, a new one on BrickLink is about $70, and up, used for about $50-60. So for the autograph, that sounds reasonable for the going rate on that set, if its a new, sealed box. Quote
rollermonkey Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I ordered all the parts (no printed tile) for like $15 from BNP, so you're paying an extra $70 for the printed tile, box, instructions and autograph. Quote
Crazy Packers Fan Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 This is one I'd really like to get, given that I've actually been to the site. If it looks too small for people to fit in it, that's because it is: it was built specifically for the Kaufmann family who were very short, and Frank Lloyd Wright didn't like wasting space. So he made pretty much every ceiling height 5 feet tall. There were some areas you'd literally have to squeeze your body to get through during the tour. Quote
moxito Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I don't know how long ago this set was retired, but the cheapest I can find it for new is around $135. Is that a good value given that it's no longer in production? Quote
rollermonkey Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 You can probably Bricklink it for less, but the instruction books in the Architecture sets are very nice, so it depends on your personal preferences. Quote
Steve309 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I was at Fallingwater at the end of May on vacation in Pittsburgh.. And they still had the lego set on sale. Trying giving them a call and see if they will ship. Or if in the Pittsburgh area stop by. Quote
