Solscud007 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I forgot I took these pics at San Diego Comic Con back in 2005. Does anyone know what happens to models like these? I wonder if they have something like this at SW Lego Land exhibit? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The Varszegi Venator I believe was auctioned online for charity. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 That's one mightily impressive Venator creation alright, considering the time it was built back in '05. It's actually the first time I've seen this, so thanks for sharing this Solscud! Quote
Aeroeza Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I forgot I took these pics at San Diego Comic Con back in 2005. You only took three photos!?! You tease! Thanks for sharing! Quote
Dadzilla Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 You only took three photos!?! You tease! Thanks for sharing! That is such a beautiful build. I remember seeing pics of this thing being hoisted onto the stand that you see in the pics, holding it up. I could use a UCS of this. :) Quote
Enilder Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 The Varszegi Venator I believe was auctioned online for charity. it must be the one of the most expensive LEGO auctions up-to-date then! Quote
dunamis Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 About $30,000. Yes, I remember seeing the official LEGO auction on Ebay. It did sell for close to $30K. I saw this in person at LEGOLand California Star Wars Days and it was quite impressive. Amazing model with lots of details. Quote
Cpt. Dan Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 About $30,000. I wish I had 30k for Legos. I wonder if it went to some type of movie collection/museum memorabilia type deal or a private collector? Nonetheless this is one heck of a Venator. Quote

Nonetheless this is one heck of a Venator. Wasn't this the one where the buyer refused to pay as a bit fell off during transit and he tried to claim it was damaged artwork and thus worth less? There was some speculation that he had in fact bid a large amount he couldn't afford and thus was looking for any excuse not to pay. Quote

And *Click* "There you go sir, one fixed artwork, lets try see you do that with a painting ." So petty considering it was for charity. Quote
