Jeff Mack Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 it's a bargain, less than ten cents a brick It's $16,000 and has 23,261 pieces. I am not sure if your math is correct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The creativity of some just amazes me. I really like how they captured the sculptures of the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's $16,000 and has 23,261 pieces. I am not sure if your math is correct I think it's correct. From my calculations, it's under $0.07 per brick. I saw this while looking for some other sets, and I have to say that it's impressive. Only if I had the money to buy it.

I am dividing 16,000 / 23,261 = .687= .$.69 per brick? Am I doing the math wrong? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If it was 0.07 per brick, it would be $1628.27. If it was 0.688 per brick, it would be $16003.57. That's why I said under $0.07, not exactly. That's still a good ratio for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrichead Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 it's a bargain, less than ten cents a brick Isn't it .68 cents per brick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Wow that is pretty impressive. I checked this guys sold listings...he sells a TON of the instructions for the base of the statue of liberty at $65 a pop. Good for him! It also gives me hope and puts into perspective how many big time lego AFOLS are out there that are buying these things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarrff Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Isn't it .68 cents per brick? Now, _that_ would be an amazing price - less than one cent per brick ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've heard there is a bubble growing with the New York Stock Exchange though - not sure you would want a sculpture of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
