Wow, curious about that $395 dollar one...

True but isn't that where we kinda are now with BrickLink? Just a much smaller scale.

I think the original release would still hold most of it's value though. There's lots of ways Lego could release it without degrading the collectors aspect of the original releases. I agree though, this set is not for the little ones but the building experience sure could be... Heck this thing isn't really playable for anyone from what I have seen.

Just curious how people feel about the pricing of this set. Pushing $1800 now. I can imagine there would be two camps on this topic, those that have and want the price to remain high and those that have not and would like to see it come down to a more affordable and realistic price per piece level. Should Lego reissue it? Should more people be able to experience this set? Or is this all good? I would love to watch my little guy build this but can't see how the little guys of the world can even get close. From a "have not" AFOL. EDIT: Now a "have" AFOL, thanks BrickLink.

You could find the parts through BrickLink. Most parts are available but it is recommended that you purchase some of the harder to find pieces through Lego if possible. 2. You can build the same model off color with just a couple odd bits. Some of the parts are expensive due to the color like the rigging that covers the engines. Some are expensive due to their rarity like the radar dish. 3. You could just build it off color with some structure mods where required like in these threads. - http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67129 - http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=65505

I'd like to see a real detailed and large helicopter with some new parts to easily build the rotor system.

Looks great so far, more please...

Love the videography... Well done!
