Lego Highlander a.k.a. There can be only one

[Hobbythom]

Allright guys and gals. If you could own just one lego set, what would it be and why? 

For me it would be Ninjago City. I feel like I could build a broad range of things with it and if I get bored I'll just build the original again. 

Curious as to what your choices would be.

The new UCS Millennium Falcon of course.

10211 Imperial Flagship. It’s just too beautiful, it’s a great display piece.

Well, you sure have a lot of parts with that one!

I've never seen it in person, but a ship is a good choice for display purposes

It would come down to the Galaxy Explorer.  I wont ever again let one go.

Sounds like a small trauma. What makes it so special for you?

Unexpected gathering.

 

Interesting build, great figs, looks great on display.

Mom sold the original in a garage sale.  I got that one in either 1979 or 1980.  A year ago, I finally saved enough to get a used one on Bricklink.  There is no intention of parting with that one.

This would be my #2, only to lose to the Galaxy Explorer by a narrow margin.

Gathering the parts for GE at the moment, I may change my mind...

Good choice. Still regret not buying it when it was on sale.

1789 Unitron Star Hawk II. It's kind of an ugly set, with nothing really special about it, aside the fact that it was my first set ever and I've held on to it across dozens of moves and across the ocean twice.

Pictures of my original set. it's not in the best shape, but I was 4 when I got it.

Star Wars Deathstar 10188. My largest set to date. Really fun to build, looks great, and has a number of good minifigures (and I like their old-school look).
