gotoAndLego Posted September 28, 2010 Only 36 tecnic pins? What a rip-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted September 28, 2010 556 tan cheese slopes?! That's an insane amount for just one set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooper Posted September 29, 2010 4200 parts is a lot of parts. I'm only now starting to work myself toward the end of the 1st of 3 booklets. It feels like I'm barely making a dent in the parts. From a parts perspective $239 is a very good value for what you get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lego Otaku Posted September 29, 2010 556 tan cheese slopes?! That's an insane amount for just one set! and that is barely 1/8th of the total set. I still remember when set containing over 500 pieces were considered huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ogre Posted October 1, 2010 Well, it's October 1...and 'Tower Bridge' can't be ordered from Canadian SAH. Don't know WHY...it's been advertised for two months, along with Winter Village Bakery (which also can't be ordered)...also can't order the three Halloween sets. WTF????

Adam the Ant Posted October 2, 2010 Just ordered it from lego shop @ home, got £15 discount with VIP points Now I just need to find some space to build it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 2, 2010 This is incredible. I'm shocked that LEGO is even making this big of a set. I am more and more amazed at how big LEGO is making sets. Maybe one day we'll get a life sized set, ok maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flat_four Posted October 2, 2010 I saw one of these built today at the Brickish show in Swindon. While its an impressive model it really is crying out for some end towers. I can see myself buying the set if funds permit (lots of useful parts for me) but cant see it being displayed for too long as its just too big! Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day we'll get a life sized set, ok maybe not. There are sets that have more than 5,000 bricks. One has almost 6,000 total... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yendred Posted October 2, 2010 Just ordered it from lego shop @ home, got £15 discount with VIP points Now I just need to find some space to build it Here is a graphic that shows the Lego sets with more than 2500 parts. First, we can notice that all these sets were released in the past 10 years, and that obviously there is a ride towards the biggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
