Just what I wanted from an Architecture set. This one is on my "to get" list.

This set looks so amazing for every fan of modern architecture. It's such a dissapointment that it's not officially available in europe :(

import from USA would cost about 50% more :(

More than that, as it looks to be sold out with no more on the way.

Well if it doesn't sell, TLG just can just rebox it as LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth Diorama Builder Set.

This is EXACTLY what I thought when I first saw the set, being a Lego SW fan and all. I will probably be getting this set for precisely that reason, so that's no joke at all
